5/10 Part 2: Florio Friday, add or drop, waivers, Pete Alonso’s goatee, and more...

listening to the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Let me just become best friends. Fantasy best friends forever. How number two? Fantasy best Friends forever, Fantasy Sports Radio Network. That's Frank Stamp. I am good. Excuse joint is always by well nobody you got he gone closer. Clos are not here today. But the surprise is we have a replacement for the closer. Really we do. We have someone that is taking the place of the closer. Cris Venture today for hour two?

Who would that be? Shall you reveal him? Surprise reveal yourself? It's my what do you know? Two hours like sticking around for hour and never two? Today he's making up for last week. Mike, welcome back, Thank you, greg Ya. I was gonna say when you were hinting the surprise. I knew what it was. I was like, but you normally say goodbot me an hour one, and then Greggy, being the professional that he is, says goodbye to me an hour one. Of course I did. I had to

say goodbye. You know, I was kind of freaking out. I thought that they were gonna disconnect you downstairs because we didn't tell anyone else that you were staying on. So I'm like, they're actually gonna disconnect you, and then you're gonna text me and be like, well, what's this happened? But you guys are on top of it. Try our best. We we we all try our best. Job downstairs, Good job downstairs. It's Mike Floria here for over two today,

so I'm excited to talk to Mike Moore. I mentioned during the break about Joe Musgrove and I said, drop Joe mustro which is a little bit crazy. But last night was his worst start to date of this season. He got absolutely wrecked against St. Louis, wrecked enough that Michael Waka was able to get a win. How about that, Frank, Michael Waka gotta win. I don't like to see that. Well, I guess if you're a Cardinals fan, you love it.

But as Rhodo World said, I'm going to read directly Joe Musk Joe Musgrove got taken out behind the wood shed and beating up for eight earned runs three another guy that they hate. They hated Danny Santana and now they hate Joe. They normally love Joe Musgrove. But I read that this morning and was like, what does that even mean? Taken outside of the woods, it's old. Lastly, it is what it is when they taken out the wood shed and let her go. This time they take

it out the wood shed and beat him. His wildness came back to burn him badly in this one. He went with a one point five four ERA A and now has a four point two zero r A after two back to back terrible starts, three losses in a row for Joe Musgrove. Are you getting nervous, Frank, Not entirely. Look, you don't want to see this with any of your starting pictures. But we knew that there was gonna be some regression at some point. He wasn't gonna pitch to a sub to e r A the entire season. The

velocity a little bit down this year as well. So we when we talked to Nick Paulic a Picture List about this, we said, look, he still has some tougher matchups coming up. He's gonna have to face the tough n L Central teams. He's gonna have to face the Cubs, the Cardinals. The Cardinals last night, you saw what they just did to him. He's gonna have to face the Brewers as well. His last time out against Oakland, another

really bad start. He only went two and two thirds, seven runs, five earned, two walks, one strikeout, five walks sis today. I mean, that's just not like Joe Musgrove we've seen at times, but all throughout the minors, this was a guy that prided himself in having good command, didn't walk anybody greg And for most of his starts this year, he's for every start except for yesterday, he's been two walks or less. So that's something that he

does have to he has to rein that in. He's not a guy that has like the best stuff where he can afford to walk guys and still get out of it. But you know, like something that we've always said about Joe must Grove was that we want him to use the slider. We want him to use the slider, And so I look into the pitch uses last night, and obviously he didn't throw that many pitches because he only lasted three innings, but the percentage of pitches was.

I noticed the slider usage has been down, and it has been down for like the past couple of starts. So a little bit of frustration here for Joe must Grove. I just added him to the list because I had a few people asked me already, did you drop Joe must Grove? Me personally, No, I'm not dropping him. He saw what his upside could be earlier on in the season, um and then I think last night was obviously just

one of his worst performances of the year. What do you think about Joe Musgrove, Mikey, I'm kicking myself a little bit for not selling high because I was advocating that on my Patreon page. I was saying, his velocity is down from last year and it continues to be down. But then when we were seeing the results at like I was seeing all the excitement from other fantasy analysts, I was like, all right, something like everything that we

thought about this guy the upside, it's hitting nine. I held on to him, but as a drop candidate in no way. I mean, two bad starts don't overpower the five really good ones that he had. We were talking people on Twitter at least we're talking about like Joe Musgrove being the Pirates best picture. So that shows you how how well he was pitching. Early in the year, we knew regression was coming. But now I think there's gonna be some regression coming in the other direction. His

strip let strand rate is fifty percent. That's entirely too low. It's gonna come back up. And as that as that rises the r A, I think we'll get more closer towards the fit, which is at two point nine eight. The only bad side is there's gonna be some other negative regression as his home running fly ball rate is entirely too low at two point six percent, so that's gonna climb back up. Must Grove, I think is kind of what we valued him as heading into the year.

He's not what he was the last month, and I don't well the first month of the season, I don't think he is what he is the last two weeks. I think he's in the middle of those performances, and there's no way I'm dropping him. Yeah, I agree with that. I think he's probably in that maybe low n SP three, probably more of an SP four top forty starting pitchers. Still, I'm gonna give up some home runs, the two point six percent home in the fly ball ratio, especially those

games against the Brewers. Like, honestly, I might just bench him in those starts against the Brewers. I don't like starting anyone against the Brewers, to be perfectly honest with you. So there's gonna be there's gonna be some tough games. But the strand rate is a little bit low right now. I would say he probably settles in like a three six maybe three seven e r A kind of guy. The fit is two point nine eight. The e r

A right now is four point two. I think we've probably meet somewhere in the middle, maybe closer to where his ear A is right now. Greg, probably like in that three seven range. I agree, there's some regression coming clearly for Joe Muskrow. I'm not dropping him yet. Oh, this is very, very frustrating. He's proven, as you said, Florio, that he may be the pirates best pitcher. And he's certainly the healthiest picture right now. Well, Chris Roger and

James and Tian on the aisle. What's odd is, like I said, his velo is still down, like it's almost three miles per hour lower than what it was last year. But oddly enough, his last two outings is worst of the year sized velocity of the year. That is very random. That's quite strange, actually, But he's also struggled with command in his past two starts, So I wonder if he's like reaching back and trying a little bit hard to trying to throw harder, and maybe it's affecting his command.

And I'm just I'm trying to put the puzzle pieces together here. What annoys me is, at least to my knowledge, I don't think anyone has asked him like, hey, what's up with the velocity, like why is it down so much from last year? I haven't seen anything on it either. And it's not like it's it's not like it's just down like before the last two starts where he threw average nine, it was a year he was averaging ninety four last year. True, weird. We have one share of

Joe Musgrove together. G D d Obviously it's a fifteen team league, so we're just holding on. But yeah, it sucks. I mean we had we've had some real big blow ups this week. I imagine you have a team Greg that has Trevor Bauer, McHugh and Joe Musgrove. You can just you wave goodbye to this week. It's been a very frustrating week for me overall. Man, I think this week of Fantasy from the beginning has been terrible for you. Joe with the mustache, he showed me after Chris Paddock

right through that gem. His team ear A this week is over seven because he had a lot of those guys that you said. So in the pit League, I'm going up against Yang, who is is very excited. He's been looking forward to since matchup to play me. If he beats me, he gets to come on the BFS on Monday. I will set that up, even though I would have allowed him to come on the show anyway, but he never asked. But he is absolutely destroying me right now. Uh, my team chose a wrong week to

forget to play baseball, Mike. I have a collective one eight seven batting average, and I believe my ear A is hovering somewhere around ten. I did have Trevor Bauer and I didn't have Colin McHugh, so it's not great. That's just an all around eight point eight point six to e r a one point six to seven batting average, and I would is the third place team coming into this week, So I don't have a bad team. It's just everyone forgot to play baseball. It's crazy. You need

your pictures to face your hitters or vice versus. So one of them figures it out. I got Wheeler against the Marlins tonight, and I have Erod against Seattle, so see if we can write the ship a little bit. Good luck. Hey, Zach Wheeler against the Marlins. You want to talk about first favorable start of the year too, Yeah, he's had one of the toughest competitions. Mike, where where did you look up? I know you were able to see like opposing ops against pictures so far this season.

I would imagine that Jack Flaherty is pretty high on that list. He's he's had some some pretty tough matchups. I know Zach Wheeler was up there to where where'd you find that stuff? It's on Baseball Prospectus. If you give me like a minute or two, I could pull it up and tell you who leads the league in it. Now.

That's that's Ops against Grady. So you can see which starting pictures have faced the toughest matchups, which might help identify some by local targets who if they haven't pitched up to their expectations, like Jack Flaherty for example, or Zach we Er. Um. You can kind of use this tool to help you figure out, all right, well, they've had some really tough matchups, so let Mike find what should I set the in eng limit at UM fifty too much? Too much? Let's all right, you guys can talk.

I'm pulling it up right now. All right, I'm trying to look at um, who's next up on the drop list or ad list? Rather who's next of one? Unless I want to talk about basically whatever list do you want? Greig? What what do you want to do? It's all about you. It's Greg's world. We're just living in it. I appreciate that. UM. We mentioned Chris Bassett earlier in the week. I guess it's worth mentioning again. Now that's people look to do

their waivers on Sunday. Chris Bassett's pretty legit man, and I know he allowed three runs yesterday, but gives you some length as well. I mean, you go seven and two thirds and he's pitched seven hits, three earned runs, nine strikeouts. Like, guy has thirty one strikeouts in twenty four and two thirds endings pitched in eleven k per nine, two point five walks per nine. Right now, you've got a T five five ear he's got a three point one seven xfit. A lot of people talking about Chris

Bassett on Twitter right now. I know Moredca is a big fan of his thirty one point six percent strike out rate, a twenty four point five percent K minus walk percentage right now, and he has a swinging strike rate of twelve percent. I mean, Chris Bassett, you should be own in twelve team leagues, not not just deeper leagu you should be own in twelve I said this Earli in the weeks like Chris Bassett, Yeah, he should be. He's he's up there with the g LEO group, Brandon Woodruff.

I mean, we'll mention him a two star pitcher. I'd imagine he's owned in plenty of leagues already right now. But I think Chris Basses up there is one of the top starting pitcher ads this week. Chris Bassett definitely one of the top starting pitcher adds this week. Considered getting him in there. Florio, do you have the information that we're looking for? Yeah, it's it's odd. It's changed a lot since I've last looked, and both Flaherty and Wheeler, who were like very high up like two weeks ago

somehow or not even in the top thirty anymore. And that's very surprising to me because outside of facing the like Wheelers, since then, his face like the Phillies, the Reds and the the Brewers. So I didn't expect it to be that bad. And Flaherty, I know he's had to, you know, face the gauntlet of the Brewers three times already. Flaherty is thirty one right now, Wheeler is fifty three and the leader his Felix Hernandez, poor King Felix Man. I feel bad for King Felix. Mike who Who's Who's

the top ten on that list? So it's Felix, Trevor K. Hill. These are the interesting names here, Garrett Cole and very Lander back to back at three and four. Then you've got Sampson at five, Carrasco six, Mantas seven, Bundy eight, Tyson Ross nine, and Matt Harvey ten because a lot of tough opponents in the a O West right now, Greggy, there your names on that list. Carrasco, by low my man, Frankie Mantas, Mike, have you turned around on Frankie Mantas, Toss.

I'm still not as high as you guys are, No, come on, sorry. Bunny is an interesting one too, because like the swinging strikes are great, They're always there, and he clearly has had some tough matchups, but he's always gonna have tough match up because he plays in the American League East. But man, we're Dylan Bundy, Grego swinging strike Creg. I've never been a Dylan Bundy guy. Never. He's very bad. It was never really part of it. I mean there was like one half season where he

was awesome. He's very very bad. Strike outs are there, but outside of that, he's one of those pictures that, yeah, he either he either gets you to strike out or you hit a home run off with him, like there's no one between. It's hard hit percent. I just so interesting for Dylan Bundy man pour guy plays for the Orioles art to succeed. Not great. I mean here we are telling um me Jhn means exactly. M hmm, come on, don't poopoo. John means now, Greg, I'm trying to build

a line up for tonight's vandal contest. Rather, why don't you just do that after the show, Gregg, you guys are I'm into it now? Though, No, I would rather just we do Weekend Waivers. That's the name of the show. It's not. The name of the show is not Greg makes his lineup on air. The name of the show is Floral Friday Weekend Waivers. All right, it was Friday and I am here here, so we should probably utilize him.

Two of the three things are accurate. I don't know, Greggy, it seems like you're being a little voted here my vote of my voter. Alright, move on there. I don't know, all right. A J. Mintzer continues to suck. Needs a nicer word, but sure, he continues to suck. Did you drop him? Yeah? I think Luke Luke Jackson is the

closer right now there. I mean he was brought in last night and then I understand he gave up that home run, but Minter came in in the tent and blew the game again, so I don't I don't think that that's going to change after one bad performance. Also, maybe it's a flaw. I'm like thinking, but if I receie like a closer gives up a solo home run rather than like, you know, actually blows a save, like like giving up a bunch of hits, to me, I'm more likely to give a pass, especially in today's day

and age. So I think Jackson's the closer there until they probably get in the Kimbroll sweepstake on June three. But until then, oh, I think it's Jackson's job. Yeah. I tweeted about this last night too. I hope every team that opts not to sign Craig Kimbro right now just keeps blowing saves. I know that they're the draft pick is attached him right now, so we're waiting for the MLB Draft to pass by. I would agree that

Luke Jackson has a pretty good stuff too. Case for nine over ten this year to six five e r A, the underlying number is very good for him as well. Uh, and there was you know they didn't even hesitate. It was they went to him in the ninth any one run game. It was a two to one game. He gives up a solo home run. I do agree with what Mike said. You know, it's not like a Page or Stroke situation the other day where he just walks everybody walks in. Like the game tying run against the Marlins,

doesn't even get an out. The guy gave up a home run and that was basically I think he gave up like one hit actor that as well. It was Adam Jones. But overall, it doesn't look like Luke Jackson is the guy. Great if he's still out there, how aggressive are you on him? Knowing that Craig Kimbroll could be the closer for the team amongs from. This just seems like a mess to me. Again, maybe not the mess of Chicago is, but a mess. Nonetheless, Luke Jackson

blue yesterday for the first time. UM Kimbera is still out there. I know we're not past June second yet when he could become uh he signed without draft pick compensation, but I don't see Luke Jackson just taking the job running away with it in all honesty, So I don't want to short term he but but why not? He He had their coming into this week, He had their last to save up except for the one that month

he had to save on a Sunday. The Monday, they came out before the game and said Jackson and Mentor are unavailable and Webb got to save. The next save opportunity was last Sunday. It went to Jackson, and then they went to Jackson again last night. Like, I don't understand why we're very hesitant to buy in that Jackson is the closer. I would just have Craig Kimberl in the back of my mind. That's what I would worry about.

It's not really a fault of Luke Jackson's it would It would just be I I expect this team to be in on Craig Kimberl. I mean, among others. I'm sure there will be other teams that won his services as well, maybe the Red Sox again, maybe the Chicago Cubs, but um yeah, the Braves are probably one of the leading candidates that can use Craig Kimberll. So I do worry about that for Luke Jaxon, But overall, I just write out the numbers been pretty damn good and and

eight mentor has been uh got awful? Jaxon only percent owned on Yahoo breaks that number be higher probably but not like significantly deeper leaves yep, Okay, we'll take a break here when we come back or Florida to start putres to the weekend.

Kendrick's it's not really sexy name and fantasy because he doesn't really wow you with you know, his strikeout rate.

So yeah, so, but you can't argue against what he's done throughout his career two point one three r A. But what you expect more from him is you know, mid three range v E r A. Actually his career you are a I'm looking at his three point one So cups Starting Pitching has been coming on as a lady Saturday's eight am Eastern on the Fantasy Sports networking on your popular podcast Providers. I was working on my UH, I was working on once again. I'm during the break.

All right, Greg, what do you got? I don't know. I don't Ronny and Rodriguez in there. No, I need to make the cut tonight. That sucks. No, I want to put him in. Okay, hit a four night? Are you going with the chalks? Starting pitching tonight? Yes? Who's if we were just talking about? Oh, like, Zach Wheeler is going to be owned in this contest tonight, isn't he? I just think he's just cheaper than some of the other options I was considering. So all right, I guess

I gotta change mine. Wow, I want to use Zach Wheler, but I feel like everyone's gonna use Zach Wheeler to night get some Marlins. That's why I'm starting Zach Wheeler. Man, I can't feel out who my last players really. I don't have much money left, and I just need to flyer. I don't know who that guy should be. We should probably go to Daily Rodo dot com. I'm on Daily Roder dot com. No flyers for you there? So the flyer they want to give me the use? Uh, seems

to be too expensive for the moment. Oh man, So you you you need a really low about how about shed Long? How about you get one of the marriages and the line up tonight? I can do that, will shed Long? JP Crawford action, Oh my god. Some of the guys I could do is are bad? Well what do you expect? Greg? You need a fire Do I do need a flyer? All right? Let's see here? What else can I get? Should but ender in cr dam ile on him? I don't know who the braves? The

braves are I considered in there in CRD. I'm probably not gonna start him in Arizona. Maybe they're going up again, Zach Ranky, Yeah, probably find a better match with than that, Greig. You know what they're telling me? You know who Della rots telling me to start? Would that be Todd Fraser? The Todd Father? What do you think about that one? Mike? Do do not start Todd Fraser? He's terrible, Like I,

I personally think he should be d Fade. Well, you know what, speaking of Todd Fraser, I'll just have a conversation with you here, Mike whal Gregg does his own. It could be Nicky Delmonica night all right, No, forget that big nicky d that that would be him, right, my regarding Todd Fraser Jed Lowry expected to be as

is he coming back tonight. They pushed it back because he's he's like three, so they're giving him the weekend to get some Do you have any interest in him because I thought about stashing in the past couple of weeks in some fifteen team leagues. But I just don't know if he's gonna play every day. I think played third base almost every day. I think we'll see him at shortstop a little bit. Uh And I dude, I'm

Rosario is not what people expected him to be. I was low on him coming into the year, but we at least thought he could be a good defender. And he had a fielding slump. I've never heard of that before. It's the yips, That's what it is. Getting your own head, you know, Travish Travis Shaw's a bit of a fielding slum as well. I saw and everything lder. It's a big difference to like when Rosario was brought up like and told like, oh he's he's a gold Glove caliber

defender and we haven't seen anything close to that. It's like, yeah, I saw, I saw Deny Hetche of Varia in the lineup the other day, and they were saying it was because because a meta Rosario has been so brutal defensively, Tacoma was was was ripping was it was ripping Rosario the other night saying he Ria has made at least two plays that there's no chance for Rosario would have made these. I think I think Hedge gets sent back

down to make room for Lowry. But that and because I think they're gonna use short a little you know hat hatch nickname? What are the nicknames you got, Mike? Uh have one for from Fordham? Nah? No, I call I called Pete Big Pete. Obviously everyone's big Pete. Everyone's big, you know, big big Pete. Actually he's an interesting looking dude. Yeah. Like I saw him without a baseball cap on and he was doing an interview in locker room. Was like, is not how I expected. Pete Alonso. You know what

he reminds me of. It's like if you took like a child and you just injected him with a bunch of like H G H and he like just grew massive instantly. That's what Pete Alonso reminds me of. He was a child who turned into like the incredible holts. It's basically Also, he has like a baby face and he acts like a child. Like the other day when he did that bat flip, the don't yelled at him and he was like, hey, I'm sorry, there's there's just a bunch of sticky pintour on my hand and the

bat got stuck. Like he's just so innocent. Did I tell you? Like he has a bunch of facial hair. It looks like a madman. I he did not look how I expect him to look. Great. He's a goatee that's like a wild one. It's like it's it's not groomed. It's like all over the place. I don't know, man, Greg, you should grow a goatee. You are a goatee guy. We did I ever tell you that? We um one week or two in college our senior year, Like, all right, gonna go t we We're always gonna do go tees.

So you can do it for your cool friends in college, but you can't do it for your best friends. I didn't been begging you for like three years now to grow out some facial That's when that's when he was jersey short, Greg. Though, No, No, he had to blowout. That was the fruity drink. Can we get that picture on the screen? Always all the way on button. I will always do the fruity Let's do this, keep talking. What's happening here? Know what's happening. He wrung my shoulders.

They a little massage while we deal is at least a little get a little massage, a little shoulder rub. Come on, hey, a little bit of a shoulder rub. You definitely wear a pop color. Never ever ever get the but like four buttons undone. Greg used to buy latigray polos and and and and pop. It's collar true story. You know, um uh J Wolfe Studios. You've been student us. You only tried to make popular high school. He did not succeed. Wearing two polos at one time. I used

to see people do that. He used to wear like, I'd say, a red polo. They would like flip the color so that you would see like one color on top of the other red in the yellow just right on top. Why are you wearing two polos? Back in the day and junior high school, we used to wear well, it was like the baggy t s. Back in the day, we would wear one baggy t and then a longer baggy t underneath it, so you see two colors. That's what it was the most ridiculous. Justin Bieber does that now? Hey,

Greg's coming back? The the the two polo shirts. That was like a staple of dumb preppy kids in Mammoth, all right, that was very like, that was really popular and trendy to see all the frat boys that mom is wearing the double golf shirts and popped collars as well. Where's your pop collar in that pick? I don't know. I say it all the time, guys. I cannot wait till our generation is old and we're like showing pictures and we're like, oh, and here's Grandpa and his g

unit shirt that's eight sizes too big. That's a great picture. Just me. That's being my most recent vacation right in Florida. I said, you guys, yeah, you're definitely were feeling yourself in the tiny bathing suit. Who wears short shorts? Well, it's clearly just pushed up. I'm sleeping. Greggy wears shorts shorts, sleeping look good, though, we got some work to do. I look pretty skin that you have? No? You have no? Uh? You have no body hair at all, no nothing, no

up much. I would like a wrestler. Oh, thank you. I think that's a compliment. Look I look pretty tanning that picture. Greg's gonna come and start putting oil in his hair and stuffs on the oil better than anyone I know. Thank you. Know, there's me again. I'm on my noodle, my noodle. That What do we just do there? I think we all right? All right? It was weird, all right, So anyway, that's move on. Now we're supposed to do to star pictures. If you'd like to jump in.

You are the one that asked for for. It all started because you started setting your fan to wind up during the break. I said, I did it. I'm pretty sure you did that. On air when we came back and breaking out, we started talking about Zach Wheeler, and then we got into all the mats and then big pete h G H. And how did that turn into be having a drink? I don't know, something about a pop somehow did But I blame you, Greg, of course saw your fault. Of course, two star pictures that could

be out there. We got a question about him on Twitter here just a few moments ago. Frank, and that was Brandon Woodruff. Would you be talking a a little bit about yesterday? He's a two start pitcher next week he shouldn't be owned, he shouldn't be unknowned. Would you to start pitcher who he starts against? And are you starting him? So Brandon Woodruff doesn't have the best matchups next week at least he's not home, but he has to go to Philly Citizens Bank, not great, and then

he goes to Atlanta. So Atlanta lineup has been a little bit inconsistent. So one tougher matchup, one like mediocre matchup here for Woodroffe. But the underlying numbers for him, and we spoke about him earlier on in the week eleven case per nine. Right now the walks for nine are below three. He's got the four to five e ar a, but the the fifth two point eight seving the xfit three point three one. The hard hit rate

is still higher than you wanted to be. It's forty four percent, but eleven point seven percent swinging shrike ray he throws mid nineties. He has a pretty nasty slider. I think he is doing exactly what we expected Corbin Burburns to be doing. I know there was some like late draft season hype on Brandon Woodruff, but um, the underlying urom is much better than what we've actually seen

from him so far this year. Greg, So I'm buying in and I would use him for those two starts, even though the one against Philly does kind of scare me. What about you, Michael Floria? Yeah, I would use him. I'm very excited about would if I'm excited about this whole Brewer's rotation. Like I know Corbyn Burns hasn't pitched well, but I think in years to come he is going to be an absolute stud. This stuff is legit. And would Droff in his last three starts twenty two strikeouts

to three walks. You love that? And if you, I always use a like a barometer, like if I can't start a pitch on two start week unless it's like abysmal matchups, why do I own him? So I would be using Brandon Woodrift this week. Using Brandon Wouldrift here uh in his to start week. So other two starters that come to mind as people that as names that people could want to pick up. Let me start on Mike fires Right in his last start. I know it's ridiculous. The e R A or whatever. His last start pitches

a no hit. Him is to start picture next week in Seattle and in Detroit. Not terrible by any means, Franky, would you consider start warning Michael Fires. So when we spoke about Fires after the no hitter, he wasn't expected to have a two star week. He was supposed to have a two star week this week, but he got pushed back, probably because he ended up throwing a hundred and thirty pitches. But he's gonna end up starting Monday. I do have a little bit of interest maybe in

deeper leagues, just because of the matchups here. Greg, the Seattle Mariner's lineup is coming a little bit back to earth here. Uh, they're not living up to what they were doing earlier on in the season. And the Detroit Tires is not really scared of that lineup either. So I know it's Mike Fires. I don't have a lot of trust in him. Twelve team leagues, I'm probably not doing it. But anything deeper than that, like in a fifteen teamer, based on those matchups, I might take a

stab at this one. Oh God, I feel so bad to say. What do you think Mike Mike Fires, I'm not I'm not using him unless I'm really desperate. Even after that no hitter, his EARRA is over five. The ear A indicators are right there as well. He's not striking anyone out. Plus, I always get worried when I see a picture go like a hundred and thirty pitches. The next time out, it's usually not great. So I'm

staying away from Fires for what it's worth. His last three starts obviously had the no hitter against the Reds at Boston five innings, three runs, at Toronto seven innings to earn runs. So his past three starts here the two point six one A. Yeah. The three starts before that though, it was six and runs six and runs six and rundst What about what about his three His two starts before that six endings against the Red Sox six shutout endings and against the Angels six shutout endings.

So if you go and the start before that was terrible, continues this pattern. It's volatile, man, a game of runs. No, it's basketball. But overall, what's a question for you about a to start pitcher? We got we, we said, and we're not dropping him. Joe muscro was a two start pitcher. Though next week, what do you do with him? Joe Musgroves two starts in Arizona against Luke Weaver and in

a San Diego against Nick Viscius. So this just comes at a bad time because after Joe Musgrove's last two starts, you'd want to take a weight and see approach. Put him on your bench. Let's start pitching again, right. But that's why I thought it was worth asking, because like, I was going to sit him until I saw he's on two starts, and now I have to make this decision. I think you have to start once. Two starts Florida. I think so too got a ten earray over his

last three starts. Brad Peacock three starts before that. Brad Peacock, by the way, also way to start picture. He's in Detroit and in Boston. Pitched really well is last time out. I think you don't love the Boston start, obviously, but I think there's no brainer you start him. Frank Yeah, based on that start that he had the other day, I will say he had twelve strikeouts the other day and it was with eleven swinging strikes, So very impressive

job there. By Brad Peacock, but it was against the Kansas City Royals, who we saw the night before absolutely destroyed Colin McHugh. We know that Brad Peacock has upside, especially to get strikeouts. I worry about him going deep into games. So if you're playing quality start leagues, I did some say I worry about Brad Peacock for the most part. Mikey, I would assume fits the model of quality greater signed quantity, but it hasn't necessarily been the

case so far this year. I think he flashed some of his upside in this last start against Kansas City. I am using him for two stars. How do you feel about Peacock? Yeah, I like him as well. I think he's been pretty unlucky as well. Uh. The strand rates down at sixty three point two percent, that's very low. The strikeouts have been better as of late, and he still has an eighteen point two percent came on his walk rate. So I think he's been a little unlucky.

Not saying he's lived up to expectations by any stretch. He's been a pretty disappointing picture so far this year. But I do think he's been unlucky. I think again, if you can't start him on a two start week, why are you owning him? So I would be throwing him out there this week. You know, Greg, I mentioned mckugh there, and I'd like to get mikes on him while while we have him here. We're talking about a

lot of players that we can drop. Mike, I tweeted the other day, I think in twelve team leagues you can drop McHugh. Is that an overreaction? No, mqugh sucks because he's a fam former Mets picture. That's too strong of an opinion. But you know, anytime he has an ERA over six, fit over five and x FIT over four, so there's not a whole lot to like there. He has been unlucky. But even as he I think he

you know, they start the numbers start to normalize. I look at those ERA A indicators and think, all right, he's gonna get better. But is it's still gonna be to a point where I could trust him in a twelve team league that I'm not sure of, especially with those young pictures breathing down his neck. I'll throw a name your way in g s T, a fifteen team rotal league that we playing together we own the me, you and Florio. Ronaldo Lopez is available as a two

star pitcher on on CBS. His matchups are against Cleveland and Toronto. It does not get much better than that. I'm interested. I'm absolutely interested to start against Clevelands against Shane Bieber. I know you're a BEABS guy, but I'm interested in Ronaldo loposince you start weeks next week. Absolutely. Yeah. If you look at four of his last five starts against Boston, I mean, and that was the start that we knew he was gonna get own up because he

was performing. It was a lot that he was gonna come back down to earth and he was gonna get blown up by Boston. But the other day against Cleveland, he gave up nine hits. I like that, he only walked one batter. The strikeouts weren't there against Cleveland, but he did get the quality start. Uh. And it's now four of his last five starts that he's gone six innings and has given you three earned runs or less. Mikey, I think we should be in on the bidding this

weekend for Ronaldo Lopez two star week next week. Yeah, I'm okay with that. I I just accepting you have to accept the risk that there is just a chance that he gets annihilated, because maybe it's just me but owning him last year and early on this year, like he's either gonna give you like seven strong innings or he's gonna give up like six runs in the first inning. I will say, Mike, what I like from Ronaldo Lopez.

He's got a six point three eight year array. I mean, it's it's really bad, Like he is one of these guys that he can give you these huge performances, but he also is prone to getting blown up, blown up. But the strikeouts are much better this year. You know, we we we said this constantly about him last season. He only had seven point two case per nine last year, but if you watch him pitch, it seems like his stuff played up better than that that he should have

been getting more strikeouts. And this year the swinging strike rate is up two percent. He's up to eleven point He's at almost ten case per nine. I think there's some good here with Ronaldo Lopez despite the the e r A and the indicators being not so great. If we're just throwing names out there, can I throw one that I absolutely would highly recommend everyone ad right now, He's owned in just over of CBS sports leagues, which to me is criminally low. Tyler Molly like he's been

awesome this year. Strikeout rate. His ear A is three point three one and the indicators are lower. I'm sorry. His raised three point six nine and the indicators are lower. His fit is three three one, the X fit is just over three. He's he's been uh throwing, He's incorporated a new curveball this year, and it's just it's really like, I guess what's pushing him over and letting him take this next step. With Tyler Molly, I feel like everyone is just overlooking him and he should be picked up.

Trade him to you. I just picked him up in it in our home league, and one of them he's still out there in the other like Tyler Molly, not as you start. Jury Pigeons Sunday said he's got a start pitch because he's the guy I picked up a couple of months back in our twenty ten league and I've been loving it when we come back.

You have to day star question, Mike, have you seen it yet? I have not a right good I haven't seen I have not looked at the answer at Venture has actually been

crushing these. Yeah, we miss Venture here because he's actually be very very good at these. When Mike Chout hits his two home run this season, he will become the fourth active player that has at least two hundred fifty home runs all for one team. Who were the three active players with that have two hundred and fifty or more home runs that have only played for one. No, it's where we do this as a team, Ryan Braun, that's definitely right. Sad his teammate Albert Pools. No, he

played for two teams. But that's not I thought you just meant he had to do it for one. He's played for just tea. Yeah, like that's why, Like Miggy's out, I think Broun is definitely right Ronado as he got it's fifty. No, I don't think so. I'd imagine he's pretty close. If not, if he hasn't already done this is my first instinct. Freddie Freeman Is he there? No, I would say Ronado is closer than Freeman. Okay, just naming guys, all right, you know what it is. It's

probably really old guy Eyes who like just barely got it. Well, yeah, still be on the team though. Remember there's three guys. You don't know what either, Greggy, I'm looking at the answer now, I don't know. Okay, Yeah, I'm I'm playing along here. Do you want me to check? If no, I'm not gonna check. Can we get a guest from Yeah? Of course we're going with Joey Vado. Vado probably right, that's a good one. I don't know Votto has the home runs yet in that many years. He's been around

for a long time. He's gotta have to fifty, Mike, his counting stats are really bad. Like maybe you got yeah for enough years, that's true. Anybody have any other answers before we before we look here? No, we're sticking with Vatto. I don't really have I don't really have anything great. How about Mookie's not there anything? Maybe there's Bryan Rizzo has been on multiple teams. Brian hasn't almost

forget about that, right, don't. It's not there yet? Yeah, looking up, I'm trying to go like team by team now, Chris Davis Davis, No, he was on the Razors, Christie, and then he was on Milwaukee too. I thought you were talking about Chris Davis with the Oreo, So I was like, that wouldn't be Yeah, yeah, Joey yallow, he's not fifty yet. I heard a crazy status home runs before he gets hundred singles? All right? Well that was all that was one, And I'll give credit to Adam

Aser the CBS Sports Fantasy Baseball Today podcast. He brought up these stats and they were insane. So the previous low for singles hit before you get to by by the time you get to a hundred, Joey Gallo just said it at like, has ninety three singles. He has a hundred home runs. The previous one was Russell Brandon had a hundred home runs hundred and seventy three singles.

Oh my god, that's like eight less, so gentlemen, and he only has This is the this is the crazier stack, Greg Joe Gallo has one sacrifice fly in his career. That's crazy. Think about that. Yeah, one, Votto has one pop up to first base. Didn't he just get another one the other day? I think he has to. He got his first one the other Oh, maybe he has too, but that he had another pop up. So I just looked at the answer. Two of the three that we

said are correct. Did you look at the answer? I didn't look at the answer when I was just bored and I was looking up. You're on a show. Sorry boring, Mike, We'll tell your story. I was just I wasn't in the conversation. So I was like, let me check these guys. So Ryan Brown is correct at three nine. The pit is correct with Joey vatdot to seventy two. Both of my answers of Arnado and Freddie Freeman are both at one six. They have the same amount of all runs. We did not get the third one, who is at

two sixty seven? Was it gettable? They're all gettible, you know know what I mean? Like, is it an obvious? He's been on one team is entire careers for the home runs, so he's not like some scrub. But obviously, well you know the answer. I know, I know that I'm asking you right now. He's obviously been an elite for a long time and has two people we have gotten it.

That's the question. Is it an obviously answer? Just tell us and and and I'll answer my own question, Steve, Do you have another answer, Steve Dave wait, I have a crazy guess. No, it's definitely what He definitely doesn't have too figs. I thought that mine was because you were like, oh, he's not a guy like who. It's a lot of home runs, but he's been in the legal while and like for some reason Brett Gardner popped in my head. But it's not. I didn't say he

doesn't a lot of home runs. I said, we thought about Gardner as well, but I just figured not enough harm run due the fact that Botto barely broke it. I mean, you would think he he had shattered it like this person has less than bottom. He has five home runs less than Botto in his career. Is he older as like est age? Yes, he's probably right around the same age of American National League at least. Sure. Oh, actually, hold on Yadi. Yeah, he's a good guess, but it

is not Yadi Molina. Good guess, not yet, but it is in the National League. Man, I don't. I don't think I got anyone. No, he's played for like eight teams. Who is the guess he's been around? Yeah, No, I don't. I don't have no, man, I don't have anything. So after Ernato and Freeman, who are at one ninety six, at seventy nine, is Alex Gordon. I was thinking Alex Gordon, but he didn't have enough home runs. Two d sixty seven home runs belongs to currently on the in your list.

Oh that's how we forgot about him. It's Ryan Zimmerman. You know. I was thinking and at least too, I was just thinking about Anthony Rondoon. I was like, no, I doesn't have the longevity yet. Ryan Zimmerman, alright, So to answer my own question, that was kind of gettable. Of course he was gonnable. If the own runs has been a one team or a decade, you know, it's de Yeah, he's been, He's he's there. David, right, did you were said, are you leading off for the Angels tonight?

We were just talking about this Tommy Stella. You haven't really talked about him yet today. Everyone's inside like Tommy Lostella is a fun player right now, but I do have concerns that he just doesn't play against lefties, like he should be owned an ale only he should be owned in fifteen teamers, but like anything shallower than that, I just I worried too much about playing time, which is fun, and that's I've picked him up in my fifteen teamers and I've been using him and him and

Derek Dietrich. The last two weeks have been awesome for me, so like, and these are the guys I'm talking about when I say, like, when I picked up Tommy Lostella, unfortunately I dropped Howie Kendrick because that was when Key Boom came up, and I thought Kendrick was gonna lose the playing time. I wasn't thinking though Heyna had Stella all year, But the last two or three weeks he's

been very good for me. So that's what that's my thinking with a lot of these pickups, like how do I keep like I went into in the great Fantasy based mutational knowing second base was going to be a

weakness of mind. And names I've used this year are Ben Zobrist, Howie Kendrick, Tommy Lostella, guys like that, and it hasn't been terrible, Like these guys have been productive for a couple of weeks and then I dropped him and I picked someone else up for cheap fab That's where I think Lostella and d Tcheck and those guys fit in and they should be fifteen team ads and nothing more than that. As of now, I would say Stella has nine home runs this year. He had ten

career home runs entering this season. That is just crazy. Here he is. He's ripping too. I mean, he's got at hard hit rate, so he's hitting the ball harder

lifting it. As you mentioned, thirty five, all right, the highest of his career, right, now he's leading off tonight against Dan Stralie, So a little little cheap option there for you in DFS, And I would agree that he's worth owning in deeper leagues, but maybe in like twelve team daily lineups when you can just kind of plug him in based on when he's playing, because it seems like whenever he plays against a righty he leads off for not a great lineup, but at least the players

hitting behind him are really good. He's got Trout, he's got Otani right behind him too, So I would say in those formats, but like in your your twelve team roto league weekly lineups, or you're treat him, I don't know, treat him like you would like Jack Peterson, like he's Jock. When he Jock's gonna start against right he's and lead off and we know that, and he's going to crush right handed pitchers. It's just weeks where he has two

three lefties, you put him on your bench. I've been, and again it's deeper formats, but I have Jack Peterson in all my fifteen team leagues and I've just been rotating him in and out based on the opponents for the week. You have a few more two star pitchers that we haven't mentioned yet today. I know a few people were talking about them during the break. Mike Kyle Gibson. I've never really been up Kyle Gibson guy, but over his last three starts, he's got two point zero zero

e r A. He's got twenty two strikeouts during that span. Um, he's hot right now, and next week he goes off against the Angels and a Mariner's lineup that is cooling right now. Over his last four starts, even even you know, go back a little bit in four in a row that he's been pretty good coming off eleven strikeouts. I have a lot of interesting Kyle gets, and he's sixty owned on CBS, but I would think he's still out there lurking around in some twelve team leagues. I picked

him up in our home league. He was either earlier this week or last week. I am a Gibson guy. I bought in last year. He pitched well. Last year he almost gave you two of a three point six e r A with just over eight ks per nine. And this year the strikeouts are up, and I know he had a living case in his last outing. But I think right now, Kyle Gibson, if you look at it, to me, the numbers are bad because the first three starts,

but since then he's been like a different picture. So I'm gonna continue to ride out the last four starts and believe that last year plus these last four starts outweighs the first the early season struggles and pitching on the Minnesota Twin is a favorable spot to be in right now because you get to face the American League Central minus the Twins, so you get to face the Tigers, get to face the White Sox. He gets to face Point, so the Royals are a little bit tough for now.

The top of that lineup is is really tough one to maneuver. But yeah, how Gibson in a really good spot. And I think that's you know why Jose Burrios might be going through a breakout this year, Greg And it might actually be legit because he um he gets to face some of these teams rot the season that just are a little bit awesomely challenged. The thing with the with Gibson like his really he had one real bad start this year. He went less than five innings, allowed

five and runs to the Royals. It was his first outing of the year. It was, you know, early April in Kansas City. Like, that's far from you know, suboptimal pitching environment. So maybe it's wrong of me to say, like I'll overlook that bad start and look at what he's done more recently. But I do think, you know, you got early in the season, you have to factor in the weather. Mikey A're gonna bring up a gross name right now. He loved this, alright. I know he's kind.

You might you might have to put the clothes pin over the nose. Danny Duffy knew it. Danny Duffy has two starts next week. The underlying numbers are not good for Danny Duffy right now, but he is throwing his curveball a ton this year twenty percent of the time. That's the highest it's been since he's doing things a little bit differently. The swinging strike rate up a little bit from last year. Um the past two stars against Tampa Bay and Houston, he's been pretty good. I'm gonna

throw their name out there. He's got two starts next week. He's going up against Texas. At least it's at home in Kaufman Stadium. It's not in all intense, so that helps a little bit. And he's at the Los Angeles Angels. What do you think about Danny Duffy. Yeah, I'm not doing it. The underlying numbers are gross. He's averaging just over six ks per nine, although his walk rate is

almost even to that at three point five. Like, I think he's been very favorable so far, and to me, he would be like a guy if I was really desperate in a points league and like Sam sitting there like after this week on two and four, one in five and things haven't been going my way and I'm just trying to load up on two starters. Sure, but in a road of league where he can get lit up against the Rangers and then that's gonna stick with my ratios all year. It's just too risky for me.

So there's a potential of that. I'm two and four this week in our home league after my matchup Mike, you would recommend me picking up Dann Duffy. No, unless you're desperated and just trying to load up on two starters, like if your rotation got depleted, like I know one owner in our league is his rotation is depleted. It's

just a ton of injuries that happened to him. And if he was like, you know what, my only chance is to load up on some of these low level two starters and and trying out, you know, just outstart my opponent. That's the only way I would really be interested in Duffy. Mike, you want to make a trade in her home league? Um? Probably not. But what are you offering? Well, I have I have two Rockies that I'm offering up, Daniel Murphy. I got David dal and

I got jan Carlos Stain. You have any interest? Stanton is dead? Um, that's nice. That's that's quite rude. Actually, I mean, Greg, you've said that in the past and we called you out for it, and you no idea what you're referring to. I I do not want Stanton right now. The only one I'd be interested in is maybe Murphy. But I got I got big Travy show over at second base. That doesn't seem very good. That's that's very bad my outfield. I mean, I'm gonna roll

with it. It's chu Conford o Quigan yellowish like I'm comfortable with that. Good though needs to turn it around, man, you can turn it around on my team. I'll trade to Daniel Murphy for him that I might consider whoa Mikey Mikey trades out here. Mikey likes it. We'll talk, Mike, We'll be in touch. I gotta make something happened, man. This team is so frustrating and threw. I threw a rant the other day about about Daniel Murphy and David

dal kissing me off. Mike's team name in this league, by the way, standfill Slayer, you're the king, know well. He beat me and my dad back to back week, so I had to. I had to. I'm gonna change it back now because I lost since I've changed it so and I've been meeting to change it all week and just forgot. I think I need to change my team name. That's why it's so bad. I have John Carlo, non c Post Parlow, Greg Tea four because Stanton is a clown. And I don't even know why I drafted him.

I didn't. I didn't even like him. I don't know why we drafted him in G S T two man, and we could have had like Bower, But I get it in value is too good. But we're still in second without staying and without all so I and we get Alles medals back tonight. I'm well, we'll get him back in our line up Monday. But I am. I am excited about that G S T T team. I think we have a very good team. We got shot, we got a shot all the up. How do you guys?

We have a lot of depths and you crushed us for a pitching staff, which is actually carry us amazingly. We have, we have barrios and we're gonna need that depth though, because like unfortunately like Paddock, he's awesome. He's gonna get a phantom DL center or in an limited or something at some point in time. I do wanna congratulate former met legend James Lone on a fantastic career. He's retired. Congratulations to Jimmy Lonnie h that's twenty that

second half of it'll it'll forever be remembered. I guess James lon at least a Yankee minor lead deal at one point never played the former Tampa Bay legend as well, have a legend obviously with the Dodgers. Wow, what a guy, James Loney, Why are you climbing on James Loni. James Loni is for some reason, he's like the worst player you can have on your team because he's he's a good defensive first baseman and that's what he brings to

the table. And like, that's the one position where I'm like, throw a butcher up there and let's get someone who could hit. But the Mets decided to go to the opposite direction, as did the Dodgers for a while. By the way, Austin Meadows is in the line up tonight leading off for the Tampa Bay Rays ice, so all is well right there. Uh, I would say Garcia is the d H batting six today for Tampa Bay Flora. This weekend, oh, this weekend tonight, as Core would say,

gonna get a little enhanced. I'm gonna I'm gonna tonight, I'm going to this fried chicken place. Actually, you guys would like it. They have good drinks and stuff. And then tomorrow, apparently my buddy is taking me to the best Mexican restaurant he's ever had, and so I'm really looking forward to that. And then we're gonna go see the long shot. What is the long shot? Seth Rogan

shirleyst their own. Oh yeah, this is all right. Yeah, I've seen I've seen previews for that, Like certainly it's his highest It's Seth Rogan's highest rated movie on Rotten Tomatoes, which speaks volumes because I think Seth Rogan makes a lot of good movies. I'm kind of out on Rotten Tomatoes. Why I don't but yeah, I mean they rated to get Out one and I was just like it was

a good movie, but not this weekend. I got some got some mother Sday stuff going on tomorrow, going out for brunch, um, going out tonight for another Birdy Perthday.
