So picking up Saturday morning where I called the hotel at seven am They told you this and we were to take a shot and go back, go back to the hotel hopefully how they had water. So we got a driver. We were taking ubers everywhere and really need like three ubers with twelve

of us. But because with all this stuff, we just got like one big van like ten bucks of person that a driver pick us out. We put all over the alcohol and the food went out in the back. So the driver is like this like transplant in New Yorker, who Nell lives in Florida? Makes sense? And he was just saying how he's like you've seen baschelor parties here

and you just come here to die basically making jokes whatever. Okay, So he's like, hey, like I know it's it'll be off the books, but like, if you guys need to make a stop anywhere, like I'm happy to do it for you guys, just like don't tell like my boss is you know, we don't care. Sure, it would be awesome that you could just stop at the supermarket. We want to pick up sandwiches to bring on the boat. That it's the only place we need to stoppa, grab

some sandwiches and go back to the hotel. Alright, some sammy's on a boat, makes sense, right, So he's all right, I know, great breakfast place, will stop for breakfast, that we'll go to Starbucks, go to Walgreens, gets some tandil ocean.

Yeah, got it, no problem, No, no more Walgreens. We will skip the Walgreen. Stop. We go get our sandwiches. He waited out side. It took a while to make these sandwiches. But sandwiches go back in the van. All right, yess well, breakfast right, I got a great breakfast spot. We're passing it right now. It's a great breakfast spot. If you

Guys look a little tired. You need coffee. Let's stop at Starbucks and a quick three minutes stop. We're gonna stop at Starbucks. Here. Everyone in the manage starts screaming, no, go back to the hotel, please don't. I just needed you needed a friend. Yeah, I think he needed a friend. So these are all the These

are the people that we hear the Florida Man stories about. Correct. So you go back to the hotel and I pushed my I was in the back of the band and I pushed my away three like you guys open and the guys open the door like yes, I go to the front desk like how you open like yeah, Like, we haven't done anything with the rooms because we evacuated. So we're able to get into the second room, put a bunch of stuff and we got a We got a sweet because five of us needed to stay in there,

so we got one sweet. Did it charges more for the upgrade because of our inconvenience, which was nice. So we were able to get the suite and we had my cousins. Very strange. We had two people even the king size bed which was John and myself, and then in the other part of the suite we had a love couch and we ordered two cots so three people

could sleep in there. Right, So my cousin we get back from the bar that night, I wish I'm gonna get to in a second, and the couch is pulled out, all ready to go, so it's putting it back in. What are you doing? Someone goes to sleep on there is that Yeah, I don't like the mattress, Like, I'll sleep on the couch cushions. It's what he said, because they're asked with the couch cushions. Yeah, I mean, I kind of get behind that bed couches. I was like,

do you want like, um blankets and pillows? Now I don't. I don't like pillows because just with a couch like bare bones here. Yeah, that's that's what I like. I'm like, you're a weird guy. Man. So we had went to dinner,

all right. So we went to dinner on Friday night earlier that evening, right, which is awesome Mexican Mexican spot had a delicious Kiwi mint margharita, fantastic Frank and did her like Judy at said all of the stuff over the table like rather tequila, um, so like casondas and stuff. It was great. Bills come thirty bucks. A person like, all right, that's pretty good, pretty reasonable. All good. We look at the check. We have not paid yet. Let's

go out. Let's go out in the entire place. Flicker back on, go out again, flicker back on, go out again, the entire street where we're supposed to go out. No power. Now, this is a bachelor weekend lifetime. No power. So we go to the bar where were at the first night, and admittedly we were just way tired. We were drinking all day on the boat. We drank at dinner, and now it's just like you're in a crowded bar with

the games and stuff. It's like we're crowded. It's like hotter, and he's like all right, So like we hung out. There's like as long as we needed to hang out there, and we left went back Saturday. We spent all day Spike playing spike ball, which is great. When the pool went in, went in the ocean. Wound up playing a best of seven volume six on six volleyball game, which it was awesome for out of in like ninety degree heat, for out of shape thirty year olds. We're we're exhausted.

It didn't work very well. We like sweats pouring off our face right like we're dying. How hot was it actually in Florida? Because it was like it was hotter here it was I believe it was ninety. It was like a hundred degrees here it was ninety and we were at least I don't know why you would do that's very dumb. It went to the pool afterwards. Afterward, I was playing basketball shirtless. Got a nice little tan though compared tan scared compared, I mean, you're clearly have

better skin than myself. Um, so we did that, and of course it's we're playing best of seven series. The score in game seven because you know you got a game seven because teams have split even so now we're playing a twenty two. Of course you'll coping. By two. One of my friends dives, falls, lands on his hand. His hand is blown up till like here we all think he broke his hand. He has to go to the emergency room because his hand is that swollen.

Frank's napple, Greg Sousman and Frankie. The biggest news that I've seen in the sporting world today We're getting tonight's baseball games. Um in the action now a little bit. But the biggest news I've seen the sporting world that could affect win total and whatnot is Udell Beckham's GQ interview today. You see this, I have seen the tweets about it and stuff. I didn't ultimately read it myself,

did you I did? I did, And it was a lot about Odell, obviously, and I'm not gonna be the bitter Giants fan that comes out and now hates Odell back on. I think that's disingenuous, you know, like, why couldn't you have hated him before? I could have hate him more. Now just be like, I am so happy he's not on our team. We washed our hands of this diva and we don't ever have to worry about it again. One thousand percent. You could do that? Is

that what you're doing? But I wasn't like that. I didn't hate him before when he was a member of my team, my favorite team, and I had those anti and in the antics, you'd sit here, you watch me, you listen to me. You'll be with me for a long time. Frank, I defended it. You can make when he's on your team. A lot of times you can make an excuse of why it's acceptable. It's a passion for the game, you know what I mean. I heard a lot of those excuses out of you over the

past couple of years. Greg, no doubt, and I stand by that. Like his teammates loved him, we know that sure is is off the field stuff. Everybody is off the field stuff like O'Dell. I truly believe loves football, so when he left. I'm not going to be the guy the fan that comes out now and says I hate Odell, all these antics. I hate it. So seeing this interview that he gave the g Q, seeing some of these quotes, it it makes sense to me. They

don't bother me. So he says he felt disrespected by the New York Giants when they traded in with the Cleveland Browns. Well, that makes sense. Team traded too. Why wouldn't you feel disrespected. My initial reaction was not disappointment. I felt disrespected like everything I've done for them. This is me being honest. The team has not been good

for the last six years period. Even then he went to the playoffs, everyone was talking about this and that, and we went there and didn't have a great playoff game. Don't get me wrong, I was terrible, but I left the game with just seven targets. I was supposed to be your number one wide receiver. I left the game of seven targets. We lost, They scored forty points. It's just all bad. What is wrong about that? There's not one wrong. What do they wrong with that statement? He read? Nothing.

I felt disrespected because I felt like I was the main reason at keeping that brand alive. They're getting prime time games and we were five and eleven. Why people wanted to see the show. You wanted to see me play. That's just real. Rap. I'm not sitting here like it's because of me, but let's be real, that's why we're still getting prime time games. I felt disrespected that we weren't even mad enough to sit me down on my face and tell me what's going on. What was wrong

about that statement? Well that is a bit contradictory what he just said, though, because he is basically saying that it was because of him. But it's true. He said, But well, then don't say that it's not about me. Then he said, oh, I don't want to make this about me. But everything they say, he's like, he's not a me guy, because I don't think he like he's not me his teammates. All I can tell you is that his teammates love him. Every teammate loves Odell Becka. Yeah.

I mean maybe they just like him because of his passion for the game or whatever, but they love him. But he loves himself to Greg, so they asked, I love football, he loves himself as well. They asked, Odell, you say keep saying you're disrespected? Why? Who's a great question that the reporter finally followed up was like, who don't just say them? You know, I'll forever have respect for Mr Mara. Everything he's ever done for me, he's showed nothing but love, even when we were having our talks,

is coming from a place of love. I can always feel it, So I'll forever have respect for him. Loves John Nara. All right, cool, the ownership isn't the clear, yes, but regards to the general manager Dave Gettman and the coach Pat Shermer. To be called like that and then to be texted by your coach and be like, oh, yeah, I heard the news. Yeah, you heard the news. It happened because of you. The reason I'm gone is because of you, which is again pretty true. Davie calls of

Odell Beckham. No one's not Yeah, he didn't fuel them wanting to trade him at all. Greg all his his off the fields, off his his his antics on the field and stuff he makes. He creates distractions where there shouldn't be any, Greg, I mean, he adds an extra distraction to the team that doesn't necessarily have to be there. Now. I understand you have to take the good with the bad because of the talent level that he provides on the field. But there are a lot of old school people.

I mean, you can pull every Giant's fan downstairs, and I will guarantee you that more of them will say that his distraction was not worth the talent level than people who will say that it was worth it. Not one of the people downstairs. We're in that room, not one of the people upstairs or in that room. That talent level is tops in the league. Oh now, because the best wide receiver that's ever played in New York. Ever, that's fair, he's one of the top wide receivers currently

in the NFL. Those distractions on the field, they're real, they're unacceptable. The fights of Josh Norman are unacceptable. Kicking the stupid field goal net fine, unacceptable. Peeing in the end zone pretty funny. But the boat trips, come on, Greg, he didn't just go on the boat trip. Every wide receiver on the team. The trip he sucked. He sucked, and he spoke about that too. Seven targets that game. He should have doubled that. That's fair, right, was a

different coaching staff at the time. Correct, Yes, it's been coaching staff. But Pat Shermer clearly he didn't have time for this nonsense with Odell. He ended up time for the attics. Ben McAdoo handled it one way where he basically did the total opposite. He basically just said Odell's gonna Odell and I'm I don't care. He's too talented, never talk about the field, and he's very very productive. Pat server said enough of his bs and when he went down with he's what calf injury at the end

of the year, that probably wasn't really an injury. It was Pat Shervor saying enough most likely. So you think it's Pat Shermer who didn't want Odell Beckham on the I think with Pat Shermer, who whether think Odell Beckham didn't have anything to do with it. He's just like the season's over, I don't want to play anymore. You don't. You don't think that that was part part of his mindset at all. I think Odell Beckham los football. I do.

I think he loves himself a lot as well. Greg I agreed, but you're page to play football and that's what he does. So if he didn't rush back to try and get back on the field. And who was that on? Because I remember hus sitting right here and I said, I don't want to draft this guy anymore because he gets hurt every year and it seems like he doesn't really try his hardest to get back on

the field. I don't know that's true. G I mean, it was like a phantom injury last year, Like why wasn't he on the field because the Giants did not want him? That shermer, excuse me, I did not want him, did not feel the trouble's worthy day, gentleman doesn't troubles worth it. They do because they changed him away the

chicken or the egg. Though it's like one thing It's like, was it was it those guys that just didn't want him on the field, the didn't want the distraction, or was it also Odell Beckham saying, you know, I'm not gonna I'm not gonna risk myself for this franchise. You know, I don't don't care about them, they don't care about me. Whatever. But it was like he knew usually get traded. Let me finished the quote. I think it's a little bit of both. Continue the reason I'm gone is because of you,

Pat Shermer. It was just it was just tough, was the way I initially felt. On the other side of it, I was excited about a new start because I had been honestly been praying to God this season before this season or a change, praying to God this season. I'm praying to God the season before this season for a change that come said, there were times last year where he was pacing up and down the sideline asking why did you sign me? And then signed, of course, a

record five year deal for ninety million dollars. He didn't feel like he was utilized enough. Probably true, and that's in line with every you know, diva wide receiver that's ever been around. You have to weigh if they're worth this mentality and distraction from Terrell Owens to Antonio Brown. Look at he's not the first EVA wide receiver to be traded. All these guys have been traded. You can make the argument against all of them, right Antonio Brown?

Was he worth the headache? Well? He helped the Steelers win a Super Bowl, sure once in his thirties ones in the prime of his career. Still just saying, I mean Antonio Brown still kind of seems like he's in his prime. Greg, I don't disagree with We'll see Owens was traded multiple times throughout his prime. He was a free agent and then was traded, and then was traded. But you know this isn't foreign. It's not like the Giants were the first team ever to do this. Now,

maybe it was handled differently from the other teams. Teams like ownership got a little bit more so along with like Antonio Brown or whatever, like hey left on good terms. He likes ownership. It doesn't like the coaching staff, the general manager. Yeah, take a break, don't like anybody like Steve Gentlemen. Let's take a break. More on the way BFFs from the NFL to the NBA.

f F Frank Stanfel crag susman hanging out. Frank, I was rude. What were you doing this weekend than being idiot playing basketball outside in a hundred degree weather. I also took a dip in the family pool. I went out to do karaoke in the karaoke room here in the any had nice little ruined myself, a couple other buddies there B y O B. So that's always great. And then went out dancing spot called Pyramid Club all

eighties music, Greig. And then yesterday just there's a really a lot of fantasy baseball, catching up on fantasy baseball, writing on the Patreon and um, putting all my bids in and stuff. That was it not nothing too crazy with a pretty good night. I was god, it was just like so hot this weekend though. I remember coming out of where we were dancing on Saturday and it was still like and of course the idiots that we were, we went to get artichoke pizza. Greg. It was a

terrible idea. I try, I try to tell you this, don't eat that when it's ninety degrees outside. No, it's awful. I hated myself. Did you catch any of the Hall of Fame star when you over the weekend? Yeah, I caught a lot of the quotes from yesterday. Um, I thought Roy Halladay's wife she did a great job as well. I really enjoyed that. You heard Marianna Rivera opening up the quote, why don't I always have to go last? I don't know what's going on here. I don't think

what over as was he thought it would. That's pretty funny, right, Noine, I mean, come on, have some fun with it, all right, I do. I do have fo that though. It was fine. Yeah, but I saw some of it yesterday. Nothing too crazy, and I didn't watch it live. It caught the highlights like later on at night. I wanted to mention a couple of baseball and notes before we get into our baseball bats and just talk about, um, why some of

things are changing. And that goes to guy we picked up in Fantasy baseball and a guy that I think we're talking about because before were top prospect and we all talking about prospects at any time, and we'll get in this week you talking about the Giants, but it's Tyler Beaty and he's a forward, top prospect, longtime top prospect for the Giants, and all of a sudden he's

kind of turned things around. Frank, Yes, So Tyler Beati with the San Francisco Giants, I mean together with the Giants, The Giants are turning things around right now as well. They find themselves, what two three games out of the wild Card, they have to decide whether or not they want to be buyers or sellers. A lot of that success has come with Tyler Beatty pitching. Well, He's a three earned runs or less in five of his last

six starts. During that six starts stretch, gregg a two point six eight e r a at one point zero five whip, He's throwing more strikes, he's getting ahead in the count. He's always had issues with control, and now he's using he's using a new slider. I noticed, huh, So his last three starts he's throwing the slider seventeen percent of the time. Whenever you see a starting pitcher use a new pitch, light bulb kind of goes off in your head, where if you're having success with that

and there's some kind of correlation. Well, his last start out, he threw eight shutout innings against the New York Mets. Throwing this new slider kind of reminds me a little bit of Jamison Tyone from last year as well. So yeah, I was pretty aggressive on Tyler Beatty this weekend in terms of picking him up for Fantasy baseball, both him and the San Francisco Giants. Man, things are pointing up. Do you think that the Giants should still be sellers? Greg?

I do? I do? So That's that's the big conversation this week. Should the Giants these sellers because I have pieces in that bullpen and in Madison bum Gardner? Landswers yes, because they're hot right now. Absolutely. Their pitching has been better, their hitting has been better. But long term they're not positioned for success. They need to replenish that pharmacistem They need to get better, and the only way to do that is to make trades in a year that you're

just not gonna win anything. You're not good enough to beat the Dodgers. You're not good enough, um my opinion, to beat the Cubs or they won the World Series as a wild card before they can make magic happen again. They're not good enough. Frank, I don't know that they're going to be able to beat the Washington Nationals against Max Sherzer in a one game playoff. As fun as it would be to see Sherzer vers bum Garner, it

should be awesome, awesome. I still believe that they should be sellers on with you, Greg, I think they end up trading a lot of pieces of this bullpen. But I was talking to a Giants fan this weekend, Greg, and they pointed something out to me that I thought was interesting. I'm not so sure that they're going to trade Madison Bumgardner anymore because if they hold on to him, they can extend the qualifying which means if a team wants to sign him, they have to give up their

first round pick. So that makes it easier for them to resign Madison bum Gardner if that's something that they wanted to do in the off season, because we just saw Dallas Kikel not get signed until June, same thing with Craig Kimberell. So I think if ultimately the Giants decide not to trade him, then it makes it easier for them to resign him. And you know, he's been a cornerstone of their franchise. He has been there his entire career. Like, actually, wouldn't surprise me at this point

if they don't trade Madison mum Guard. I don't think he's moved. I think he's definitely moved. I think he has to be moved I mean they could still they can trade him and try and resign him in the all season like the Yankees did with Chapman. It's not unheard of and actually easier to resign them when you extend the qualifying very much, because actually, if he gets traded, um, he can not be offered the qualifying offer I believe this year by another team. Correct, Yeah, they can't. Only

the Giants, if they keep him, can extend the qualifying offer. Correct. So that's why I'm starting to lean more so that they're going to keep him. I think they trade him because the first round think is great, but like you can get more help on the way sooner if you trade him. Who do you think is the leader to acquire Madison Bumgarner at this point? I think the Braves are the leader to acquire Masim bum Garden. I think

he would love to play there. Give up some of those young arms that they have, maybe like a two key Tussan or Bryce Wilson or yeah, someone like that. Exactly, give up some of those younger pieces. Get massive bum Garder. You then get in a position to resign him. He wants to play there, He's lives close to there, and now your rotation gets more formidable for the postseason. Right it's Bumgarner, it's Kaiko, It's Soroka. That's a nice little three.

It's a nice They probably need another one because right now Soroka, Kaiko and who would be their third Anibal Sanchez? How great do you feel about that? Am I missing somebody such? I keep you know, because he played on the Braves last It's like, I keep going back. He started against the Braves over the weekend, so that was a little confusing. I keep going back and forth because he played there just last year, and I keep confusing myself. He's it. It seems like he's played for every single

team in the league. He's played in every basically every team in the uh nationally East except for the Mets. It's like, so it's probably who are to remember? Probably Julio Tehran and he, I mean, how great do you feel about him? You don't feel good about Tehran? You don't feel good about done? Last night, actually watched some

of that game last night. His first to ball, the first in the first, the first two hitters he like falls the warning track and O god, this's not gonna be good night for Kevin Gosman, We're not a right Kevin Gosman. Yeah, he pissed. Well, so so you're saying you're saying the braves All yeah, I mean, look, I don't think I don't think he's gonna end up with the Yankees, maybe the Minnesota Twins. What do you think

about that, Greg, they could use another picture. I think we missed not not betting on the Indians and we had the chance. I actually talked about this last week. I had I had Alex up here on Thursday. We were talking about some MLB futures that we like and I mentioned the Indians and the Nationals. I know, the Nationals, you know, dropped one last night. They're now six and a half games out. But Greg, it seems like a month ago the Nationals were like thirteen out. Cut it

in half. Why can't they cut it in a half again by the end of the season. The still have two and a half months. Yeah, absolutely, absolutely, the Indians were to win the It was to when the a L they were like plus something like ridiculous, like fifty one, and I was like, when when the Nationals were thirteen games out, you could have got them at like plus fourteen. We talked proms. Now they're like plus five fifty or something, plus six hundreds, So those odds have been cut in

half because the lead has been cut in half. The Twins are the same thing with the Indians. Last week, the Indians were I think they were plus uh plus four hundred or something to come back and win this division. There only three games out. Yeah, we definitely may not beending on the Indians. Then the Twins have been struggling lately and now they're going to a big set with the Yankees, and then they don't really beat the Yankees very much. No, they don't. Tonight Martine Perez going up

against C. C. Sabathew. You see what happens there. The Egges certainly could use another picture themselves. You know, you look at this rotation and the Eggies, well they have the best record in the a L. Is it sustainable? Right? I don't. I don't know that it is as awesome as the Yankees have been this season, Greg, I still have question marks about their pitching. I mean, you look at over the past month. To knock over the past month has like a five E r A. He hasn't

pitched well. James Paxson got destroyed yesterday. I don't think he's a percent. So the Yankees have all these question marks in their pitching staff. Domingo Harmon is fine. We don't know if we're gonna get if they're gonna get anything from Severino this year. So yeah, I think they're gonna trade for someone. What do you think it's gonna be, I said before the show. I think it's probably Marcus Stroman. I think he just makes the most sense for extra year.

Next year. He wants to be in New York. He's from New York, Long Island specifically correct. He'd love to play with the Yankees. He's pitching the proseason before. I think they liked these these heavy slider guys, these Robbie ray and Matt boy types. But the thing is doesn't really move the needle. That's what you have to ask yourself. I can definitely see Robbie Rye. I definitely can see that he struggles with walks and home runs. I know

could be stadium that Boyd. You know, while the uh, the cat walk ratio is phenomenal this season and his ex fit is great, he's the array is rising rapidly. That Boyd has not pitched well. I put him in Yankee Stadium, How's that gonna work? Totally agree with that, I think. I think if they end up making if the only move that they make is like a Robbie Ray or Matt Boyd, that is a that is a loss, that is a losing situation for the Yankees at the trade deadline. I think it's a lot of smoking mirrors

there as well. I know he's pitched well in Texas, so it's not really the best place to pitch as well. It's tough, it's a hitting environment, it's a hitting ballpark. But the underlying numbers to the X fit with Mike Minor, the skill interactive array, the Sierra, they're both up over four, while you know the e r A is in the high two is low three range. I think it's I think there's some smoking mirrors there with Mike Miner, I

don't trust them overall. I also don't want to give up a significant package for a guy that is a brutal injury history. So look, you could say the same thing out Marcus Stroman. Right, so he's got the low three z r A, but I believe his ex fit is just over four as well. But he has that, you know, that bulldog mentality, right he has. He has some swags, as Chris Bencher would say, the closer, he's got some swag. Marcus Stroman, he's pitched in big games

in the WBC, pitched well there. He's pitched in the postseason ready with the Toronto Blue Jays as well, so he has some experience with that. I get behind it. I think they would want Stroman and Ken Giles. They probably want both of those guys. They've talked about that before, right, Remember there was a report like two weeks ago I were scouting Ken Giles. I'm not a fan, you know, I'm not a fan of Ken Giles. I'm going that. I'm going that been like kind of hurt this year.

He's been like in and out of the bullpen when he's pitched this year. He has pitched really well. Yeah, all right, we'll take a break here. When do we come back? Post?

Enjoyed the show and thanks for listening. So we're back here. BFFs for me in the best bets forever. You're Savage Bros. Savage well rallying cry of the New yor Yankees. H you have not had the opportunity to opine on Aaron Boone's epic rant, Greggy, would you think that was great?

I thought it was great. There are t savages, right, Everything needs a rallying cry, and this this one's is the savage thing. We had the thumbs down a couple of years ago. They rallied behind that. Yeah, this could be something that we look back on at the end of the season and see like this is you know, this is really what they y'all. They all rallied around as as you mentioned it, right, is uh being savages in the box? Greg? Do you have any remorse for

said umpire who got destroyed? No, because there's people on Twitter like, come on, give the guy a break, he's a rookie ump But at the same time, you know,

Florida and I spoke about this on Friday. Most of the time, umpires are not even held to a standard and they can do whatever they want and a lot of times so that's not true, but like they make it about themselves at times, Like umpires have egos too, and there's times where like players won't even do anything and they just get tossed from games and and that that's that's really the main reason why I can't really have remorse for this guy, even though he's a rookie

ump Like, come on, I mean, if you're watching that game too, he was not having a good game. He was not having a good game. It wasn't I wasn't. It was awesome from Aaron Boone. That's a good picture over there, My guys, savages in the box. Tighten that, tighten it up. It seemed fair. I don't wait, why are you suspended for that? I think he like they said he made contact. I didn't see it make contact. It might have been like inadvertent when he first ran up there. I don't know. I guess they had to

do something to discipline him. Right, Yes, it was awesome. It was awesome. It was really cool. All right, um let's advantage guys, best forever you're ready to do it, Let's go all right, and I'll be tonight a lot of games on the slate tonight. We'll again in Washington as a man, Eric Fete Patrick Lambert from Nationals Park in d C. This is the only game that I see tonight that has a flash flood watch issued here, Greg, so you have to pay attention to some weather here

between Eric Fetty and Peter Lambert. Don't really like either picture in this one at all, really, Greg, And uh, the Nationals are favorites here minus one fifty six with a total at ten and a half. I don't love this game. I don't want this game out there. I'm not touching us. Yeah, like Fetty, is you know that big of a favorite? Minus one of these six? I get it the Nashville has been hot, but is it

really because of him? And I don't know? And then the ten and a half, like the total go either way, especially if the weather is bad here too. So it's just that's a stay away game for me. I gotta pick him game for you. It's the Cardinals and the Pirates, Danny pod Leon Trevor Williams, who I learned was a famous explorer. He did learned that here on the show? Did Yeah, we we we talk We talked about the world history at times. Here it's a little little history

listen for you. We're teaching everybody, mostly me. So Daniel Ponty Leone going up against Trevor Williams. I'm surprised that this game is actually a pick him here, Greg. I understand that the Cardinals are the road team here, but Trevor Williams is sporting a a nifty that's the word.

I'll use, a nifty five point one seven e r A, while Daniel pons Da leone as he has a two point eight zero ear A overall, but in starts this season he as a two point six e r A. Last time out against the Pirates, he did not perform well. But actually like the Cardinals a decent bit here in this spot, Trevor Williams is not a good picture. I'm gonna take the Cardinals today. Mnus want to wait? It's one of my best best of the night. Yeah, I like the Cardinals two is one one of my best

bets as well. We're both in on the Cardinals. Trevor Williams has been good post Da leone up and down. I like the Cardinals tonight, might as want to wait? Might as want to wait? Yeah? Yeah, it's It's exactly the odds of the same on both sides. On the fanal sports with minus want to ead for both teams, pick them, give me and the Cardinals and the Cleveland Indians are in Toronto take on the Blue Jays. Mike Clevinger vers Ryan Baroki. Indians are a heavy favorite. Indians

minus one seventy six. Last time out, Mike Clevinger put on a clinic pitch extremely well, and obviously these Cleveland Indians are red hot right now? How about this, Greg, bring up a fantasy baseball trade I made over the weekend, a keeper trade, because I know that you've been making keeper trades as well. Recently. I gave up Zach Wheeler a twenty second round keeper for Zach Granky and Jose Ramirez, the surging Jose are Mirrors. What do you think about that?

Buying Jose are Mirez over the past month, he's batting like grand kids. Buying Jose Air Mirrors. Now, this is where we've gotten. So I had the option of Jose Are Mirrors or Matt Chapman. Actually, when it took Jozier Mirrors because Chatman was dealing like a foot ankle injury thing. It's like, let me not risk this. Josire Mirrors is playing well. He's really good for points Leagues two because he makes a lot of contexts. That's what I ended

up doing. But for tonight, Mike Clevinger against Barucki. Barucky we saw a little bit last season. This is his season debut tonight. He's gonna throw around eighty pitches. That's according to the Toronto Blue Jays. The only way it would take the Cleveland Indians is if I'm you know, parlaying them with another really big favorite tonight, maybe a Garret Cold going up against Oakland or Robbie Ray and

the Diamondbacks going up against the Orioles. Like I wouldn't want to just take the Indians at minus one seventies six and this total could go either way because I could see the Indians having a big game against Ryan Barucki, who's making his season debut. Is just stay away from me, Greg, Yeah, I agree, I'm not really I'm not really messing with this one either. You know, too heavy with as good as club has been, too too heavy on the Cleveland

Indians tonight. I can't mess I can't ultimately mess with this one. But as you're talking about that, I was looking into the next games the Red Sox and Eddie Rodriguez against your boy Jen Beak Tam may Raise. This is a big time matchup in the AL East. Is both teams trying to stay in it. They're both competition for the wild card. To believe that nine or ten games back of the Yankees here at this point, this

is an interesting one. I'm kind of like in the Rays. Yes, So, I was watching ESPN last night after the baseball game and they mentioned that the Red Sox next I believe it's sixteen games are against the Yankees and Rays just alternating series. So this is basically do or die time for the Red Sox and water. Rodriguez a four point three four e r A on the season. Jalen Beaks two point seven eight e r A has been used

more so in the follower role this season. This is his first start of the season, so while he has pitched well this year, he's not necessarily used to starting at the major league level, So we'll see how this one breaks out. Very low total at eight and a half. I have a little bit of interest in the over in this game, Greg, just for the reasons I mentioned. With Jalen Beaks getting thrust back into starting this game,

how deep is he gonna go? We're probably gonna have to see a lot of relievers on the Tampa Bay side of things. And then it feels like for years EDWARDO. Rodriguez has always struggled against the Tampa So they over eight and a half wouldn't surprise me. But it's not one of my best bets tonight. Yeah, it has a small number for both of these pictures. I mean I could see one of them, one of the teams going over eight and have runs tonight. Yeah, So I like the over here. Also not one of my best bets.

But one of my best bets is coming up next, and it's the Reds and the Brewers All Stars. Sonny Gray an underdog tonight in Yankee against Chase anders and the over understits at nine. I like the Reds. I like Sonny Gray here, Frankie. Yeah, Sonny a three point four zero era, a hundred and twenty strikeouts on the season going up against Chase Anderson three point nine six ear a don't look now. Chase Anderson has actually pitched well over the past you know, five six starts. He's

not going very deep into games. I think they're basically, uh, treating him with kids gloves here. They're not, you know, third time through the order. They're not even letting Chase Anderson go anywhere near that. So we could see a decent amount of bullpens on both sides here. I thought about going with Sonny Gray is my best bets, so so I don't hate that You're getna come at and plus one oh two. I like that value, but um, I like it. I ultimately ended up not loving it,

So it's not one of my best bets. It is one of your best bets in there, all right. So the Cincinnati Reads money line at plus one oh two against the Brewers in Miller Park, Marlins and White Sox Trevor Richards and Evan Novah. This is gross, but it's kind of taking the game as well. Marlins and minus one oh four Nova and the White Sox minus one tan the over under the total here since a ten. Yeah, so this game is is in Chicago again, you mentioned it.

It's a it's a gross one is Trevor Richards going up against Ivan Nova basically a pick him the Miami Marlins money line at minus one oh four, the Chicago White Sox at minus one ten, and you like the Marlins here. I do kind of like the Marlins here, Greg. I mean, Richards has been inconsistent, but uh, his ear ray is like a run and a half lower than Ivan Nova's on this season. So if I had to choose something from this game, I would go with the

Marlins money line. Yeah, That's That's where I'm leaning. But the total is ten. It's like, do you really want to have to depend on the Marlins to score runs here? And the White Sox are playing without Eloy Jimenez as well, so yeah, the total is uh, that might be a little bit of a tough one to reach here, But the Marlins at minus one of four, I do like it. Yeah, I like it as well. I think the Marlins and

Trevor Richards certainly somebody you can consider tonight. Evan No stinks as although I do try to bet on him every week, um hasn't really worked out. Also, former Yankee Great speak of the Yankees. They're up next, They're in Minnesota, They're only man. It's one twelve tonight Morteine Perez against cs Bathiat over understands at Levin. You gotta like the Yankees, right. Uh, this is a tough one too because we always the Twins.

They do, but they they've struggled against leftist Greg. We've talked about that a lot in I remember, you know, we were talking about a game where they were going up against Clayton Richard and the Toronto Blue Jays ended up losing that game. Um, you wanted to take like Jason Vargas and the Mets earlier this season against the Yankees. Big value there, But overall of the season, the Yankees are twentieth and waited on base average against left handed pitching.

So while it's it's close value and it's good for the Yankees because they are one of the best teams in baseball. I don't love this matchup against Martine Perez and lefty. It's probably a stay away from me tonight Cecis Bathy against Martine Perez, it's to stay away, fine, but I really like he's bath in the Yankees. That is it? One of your best bets? Locking it in here, Greg, No, I I think I made my best bet already. I'm not gonna be another. You have to you have two

best bets. You can make as many as you want. It depends on the slake, Greig, you really like to slave make as many bets as you want. It's not my best bat, but I do like CC's bath tonight. All Garrett Cole, have you favorite over Homer Bailey and the Athletics? That seems to make sense. Yeah, it's uh yeah, Homer Bailey making his I believe it's the second start now with Garrett Cole tend and five on the season, he's just been awesome three point one to e r A.

It's the light twenty two. He has a hundred and ninety four strike outs. That is not a typo. But they're huge favorite tonight. So again, the only way that I'm betting on, you know, teams like the Astros and or or the Indians when they're this big of a favorite, is let me put a few of those teams together and see what that turns out to be. So great? Can I interest you in haarleying Mike Clevinger and Garret Cole together tonight two team parlay plus one twelve? Yes,

very good? Yes, you can get the Astros and the Indians to win tonight. You can. It's not bad pretty good value there, huh. Absolutely, and sports, but put those two together you get them at plus one twelve. Man, I mean I like it. Let's do it. I like it. Uh. The d Backs Robbie heavy favorite over Aaron Brooks and New Orioles ye heavy favorite, almost as heavy as Garrett Cole going up against the Oakland A's Robbie Ray and the Diamonbacks minus two seventy. The total in this game

is at nine. So obviously you know you like the Diamondbacks. I don't love them. I mean, the Orioles just beat up on a lefty yesterday and David Price Tree Mancini came back to life two home runs for Boom Boom. Is it wrong that, like, I kind of want to like the Orioles tonight just based on that value it's plus two thirty. It's just I feel like Robbie Ran the Diamondbacks should not be this big of a favorite. By the way, Fantasy Baseball, we're really happy and you

dropped Boom Boom. Yeah, really has two multi home run games in his last four rop Alex Smith in said, Ah, that was fun while it lasted. Greg, and I talked you into the Baltimore Orios snake right. No, alright, even at that value, Alex Man, even the worst teams win fifty games a year. Greg, No, Alec Mills, al Mills, Mills takes on Sean Anderson, Mills and the Giants. This would also pick him here. That would be Alec Mills, Sean Anderson, Mr Anderson, what do you think total at

eight and a half? God, this is a gross game. We had to something. It would be Cub's money line. But I don't love it. Okay. Last game of the night Texas Rangers Adrian Samson Seattle Mariners was ten. I'bably see a lot of runs scored in this game. I have the best bet. I'm gonna go with the Miami Marlins. Greg, you talked me into it. We didn't talk about it, all right, minus one of four Marlin's money line. All right, I'll go with the the Cardinals, and I'll go with

most of the take game we both took. You took Sonny Gray and the rink like that. I like that. That's cool. All right, take it a break. We're out the show. Weaket back from the NFL to the NBA.

I went to the supermar market yesterday as well, Greg, just to buy ice cream. It was by one, get one free. I

got little cookies and cream, little chocolate. Your cookie, though, is that too much cookies? You like those ice cream flavors? I like vanilla right now. You know, we actually spoke about this, I think earlier in the year, and Uh, I was like, it's not surprising, Greg. No ice cream, that's it, simple man, that's Greg. No sprinkles, no cones, no, no Seeyrup. Give this man vanilla ice cream. That's it, simple man. I mean, there's a simple man. But come on, Greig,
