Check out my gravelpit. Welcome back to the Fantasy Freestyle. Here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Is your boy. Dane Martinez feeds the spitting statistician that got Chris Bovona on the ones and twos. Over there, we're blowing up like a Samsung seven yo. Let's get into a real quick. We got a big thing going on a Tuesday. Let me give you some news and notes from around Major

League Baseball. And you would think, just because it's the All Star break and we got the All Star Game tonight later on in about an hour, that's gonna be kicking off that All Star Game, I still have some things to let you fantasy players know about. Like, for example, Eduardo Nunez is in fact expected back off the disabled list for the San Francisco Giants this Friday, in their first game back after the break. He's been battling that hamstring injury, so owners want to get him back in

your lineup. And if you want to get into Ward o'noon is back in your lineup, how about this one? Mike Trout, universally recognized as the best player in baseball, He is also expected back this Friday after the break. Remember he had that thumb injury. He's finished his rehab. He is ready to go. Um. One thing though, that I've been talking about here all season long on the Fantasy Freestyle is the idea that with this ten day

disabled list, how teams are manipulating the roster. Remember for a week I talked to you guys about how the Los Angeles Dodgers had a seven man rotation in essence because they were just putting guys on the d L, sending people down. Well, the commissioner apparently agrees with me. Okay. Rob Manford today said that he is in fact concerned with the ten day d L uh, you know, and

how teams maybe manipulating the rosters. Like I said, all you need to do here is listen to the Fantasy Freestyle and you stay, like you know, ahead of the curve. That's what we do. But let's get into the home run derby that happened last night and all man all rise for the judge. Wow, is really all I have to say. Aaron Judge is a complete beast. He's such a beast that Giancarlo Stanton, who's also like six seven two pounds, was acting like a little child watching Aaron

Judge put on the display that he did. Count me among those that were absolutely stupefied at how ridiculous Aaron Judge was last night. The legend grows objection over ruled. Okay, I mean, my man hit four balls that went over five hundred feet. No one else sniffed that kind of distance. And then dude hit one that literally hit the roof in Miami. They didn't even call at a home run. That thing was on pace to go about six hundred feet.

Who knows. I mean, this guy was just hitting like easy opposite field line drives and they were going out. This guy was missing balls, okay, not squaring up balls, and they were going four hundred and thirty feet. I'm telling you right now, Aaron Judge has got to be in the mix for years to come. I just hope that as a Yankee fan, that you know, he doesn't go through that kind of second half swoon that happens to a lot of home run derby participants that start

to kind of maybe try to hit home runs. The whole key with Aaron Judge is that he does not need to try to hit home runs or just his launch angle or anything like that. His natural power does the trick, and boy was that on display.
