This should why Dane Martinez a k A Speeds a ka to spitting statistician and you are listening live to the Fantasy Freestyle on a Memorial Day on the Fantasy
Sports Radio Network. Of course, big shout out to all our sports byline affiliates and if it has never been more apropos, a huge shout out to the American Forces Radio Network, an extremely big shout out to all the service men and women that are listening on American Forces Radio Network today and every day. For the service men and women out there that are getting a little taste of home from Speeds the spitting statistician helping you win
your leagues and win that cash. On a holiday. I got my boy Chris Bovona with me on the ones in Judes. There it is there, It is blowing up like a Samsung seven. Apparently we're blowing up like Tiger Woods his car insurance bill. We'll talk about that a little bit later on as well. You know, I'm gonna give you my starting line up. We're gonna hold ourselves accountable to what happened over the weekend. I gave you some starting pitchers. I hope you listen to me because
I was helping you win that cash. You know, we've also been talking about Floyd, Floyd Mayweather and Connor McGregor. Listen, if Floyd doesn't want to step up, we have audio about someone who may And of course we're gonna continue to celebrate UM America. We're also gonna thank all the servicemen women out there, and we're gonna also honor those
who have in fact fallen in that fight. UM. If you notice Major Baseball Weekend is wearing camouflage uniforms and things like that, similar to like the pink on Mother's Day and the baby blue on Father's Day. I want to ask you what you guys think about this, So we do have a poll up there on the f N T S Y Radio Twitter handle and of course with your boys spitting speeds on Twitter as well, I
want to know what you think about this. Is this like over commercialization or is this something that you really love? These camouflage socks. You know, even the stitching on the ball in Major League Baseball today was green. Is that something um you enjoy to celebrate the holiday or this is something you think is just kind of, uh, a little bit too much that they do just to kind
of sell jerseys. We got that question up there. But when we come back, I'm gonna give you who you need, and you know, a little bonus Memorial Day diamonds from your boys feeds the Spitting Statist, and come on back. I'm gonna talk Major League Baseball Memorial Day back out of here on the Fantasy Freestyle and the award winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Welcome back to the Fantasy Freestyle on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, and of course we
are syndicated across the American Forces Radio Network. So Happy Memorial Day to everybody out there, especially the service men and women of the United States Military that are you know, sacrificing every day honestly so that we have the honor the right and the privilege to do something like celebrate
not only honor, you know, kind of our soldiers. But to celebrate things like the unofficial start of summer, to celebrate things like when you can wear white, let us be known that it is really for all of those service men and women and to honor those who had made the ultimate sacrifice so that we can have the kind of rights and privileges that we do as citizens of the greatest country in the world. And part of that includes the ability to win your leagues and win
that cash. So that's what we do here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. So let me help you out starting with some news and notes around Major League Baseball. Listen, Yo, when a cesspitis was shut down over the weekend after a rehab game with quad soreness, that sounds to me like the exact compensation injury somebody who's coming back from my hamstring injury is probably gonna get. We need to bring in our men licensed Deathletic trainer Thomas Lowe and
maybe ask him about that. But you know, once again, credit to that Mets medical staff, Yo, when a cesspitous shut down, who will help Michael CONFORDO and Jay Bruce in that lineup if the Mets ever want to get back into contention. We also, unfortunately have more injuries over this holiday weekend. Royal starting pitcher and ace Danny Duffy strained o bleak. He's gonna be missing six to eight weeks.
I'm gonna tell you something. Not only is this important for Duffy owners, but fans of the Kansas City Royals. I'm gonna tell you right now, Kansas City Royals are going nowhere and now with this injury. Don't be surprised. The Royals are a team that have that entire young nucleus going to free agency. Don't be surprised if the Royals in the next month or to have, in essence a fire sale for some of those young studs, guys
like Kane and Mustakas whose contracts will be up. Also best player in baseball Mike Trout spraying this thumb yesterday. Listen as day to day one for an m r I. It is very likely that he is going to head to the disabled list once again. Mike Trout looking to miss some time with a thumb injury. He is the number one overall hitter, but he will not stay there if he misses any time. When you got guys like
gold Schmidt at number two. This guy gold Schmidt in the middle of his line in that lineup in Arizona, forty four runs, twelve stolen bases while being a power hitter. This guy is twelve stolen basis. When a guy like Jose Parazza everyone thought going into this season's gonna steal forty of fifty, he only has ten. Then you got Bryce Harper, also forty four runs scored. He's hitting three thirty seven as the number three. The only thing is, as we're gonna get into a little bit later on,
he's gonna miss some time. It looks like as well based on the events that just took place in San Francisco. Aaron Judge at four with seventeen home runs after a bomb today against the Orioles, and then Charlie Blackman is number five in the offensive play radio right now, this guy is leading Major League Baseball entering today with forty
five ribbies. Yeah, he's a leadoff hitter. Remember speeds. The spitting statistician has been telling you all season long about that leadoff hit or revolution, about you know, putting power at the top of the lineup, about the launch angle, about trying to get these fly balls. If that doesn't reflect it. I don't know what does. We also um a couple of guys who are, in fact are working their way back. That's interesting to note here in Fantasy
Baseball as we head into June. Stephen Matt's through a perfect five innings and a rehab started. Looks like he could rejoin the met rotation this weekend, coming up against the Pittsburgh Pirates. You it's worth it to go out and check right now. If you're at a Memorial Day
barbecue something like that, he is seventy three owned. That means if you're chilling around the girl with three of your friends right now, you know, flipping these burgers or something, one of you guys is in the league where you could stash Steven Matt's and that might be an interesting look. The same could be said for Jamison Tyone. Jamison Tyone struck out six in three innings for Double A Altuna
on a rehab star Clint Hurdle. The manager says he's in fact progressing, but they're not gonna again put any kind of unneeded pressure on him. Remember tyyone coming back after that surgery when he was diagnosed with testicular cancer he's only in his mid twenties, but he's only owned in seventy leagues. Now, you may want to stash him as well. Over the weekend, I gave you my call shot to gave you my starters, and listen, I had
a great weekend giving you who you needed. On Friday, I told you it was the chalk that it was deserved what he do. He struck out thirteen San Diego Padres and getting a win, only gave up one run. I told you the following day, I like Elsberg against those same Padres, who, after a little bit of a hot start early in the season that we're remaining respectable, they have tail spinned and uh, you know, the same thing happened with Straussburg. On Saturday, he struck out a
team high fifteen for the season. We're going seven scoreless innings on Friday. I also told you I liked Alex Wood. I told you about his starts in May that um he had thirty two strikeouts and only twenty three innings in his May starts. And I told you we watch out for the Cubs actually having to travel from the friendly confines of Wrigley Field. He didn't go the route but he did get you a win, going five scoreless innings,
and he struck out eight in those five innings. I also told you on Saturday going into Sunday that the other matchup I liked with these Houston Astro starters against a fading Baltimore Orioles team over the weekend, Kaiko ran his record to eight and oh, going six innings, striking out eight, only giving up one run. And then I told you about mc colors on Sunday against those same Orioles, he struck out eight in six innings while also getting
to win. The Orioles were three and nine in their last twelve games, but they did turn it around today in an a at least matchup against the New York Yankees, winning Memorial Day at home three to two. Let's talk about tonight though, real quick. Tonight. I think you gotta look at the top two on the board. You got Stroman at nine hundred, you got Tehran at a three hundred on fan Duel. I have been talking to you guys about Julio Tehran for about the last two or
three weeks. I've been talking about his home road split and how he has defecated the Mattress while he is at home in that new hitter friendly ballpark in Atlanta at sun Trust. However, tonight, Julio Tehran is finally getting a start on the road. He is at Los Angeles to take on the Angels tonight in Anaheim. And remember I also mentioned Mike Trout, the best player in the game, missing this game, likely headed to the disabled list with
that thumb injury. That means the Angels lineup is no so scary, and so I kind of like Julio Tehran. You're gonna get a shot at him at home now in that Atlanta ballpark against the lineup that without Mike Trout is not scary. I like Julio Tehran as my starter tonight on Memorial Day for eight three hundred on the fan duel. If you want to have something a little bit more stable, it's what these guys gave to you in the DFS lineup lock show with mom Man,
Tony Sencata, and Benny Riccardi. They gave you Marcus Stroman. I like Stroman as well, but he is the most expensive pitcher on the board tonight at nine three hundred against the Cincinnati Reds. Listen Stroman has been good all year. The Blue Jay's biggest favorite on the board tonight at minus one nine on the money line. That looks good for Marcus Stroman getting the win what I wanted to do, though, I wanted to give you a little bit of extra
today it's a holiday. I want to give a little bonus, especially to all the service men and women listening on American Forces Radio Network. Let me give you a little holiday diamond for you. Someone that's a diamond in the rough if you don't know yet. As we go to Memorial Day with about a third of the season done, Logan Morrison on the Tampa Bay Rays is rated thirty third overall on the Player Raider. He is only thirty two percent owned in Yahoo leagues. I don't know why
that's I don't know why that's possible. You know how he's still only owned in the third of leagues. This guy's increased his walk rate from nine to his bab if is now only one. It may even regrets and get better already though. His fourteen homers so far this year has tied his entire total from two thousand and fifteen, his last year that he did in a hundred seven games. This guy the power is real. His isolated power is up from one seventies six to three oh five this year.
This guy is hitting clean up for the Tampa Bay Rays. He's only owned in thirty two percent of leagues. I'm telling you right now, if you can, I think it's sustainable because of this ISO and because of this launch angle. He's another candidate for this the power is real, only owned in a third of leagues. Think about Logan Morrison the other way. I'm gonna tell you. Let me give you some arms. Also, don't look now, but the hours
one the Diamondbacks have been stingy. Okay. They are ten to game over in a surprise at thirty one and twenty one in the NLS. And there are some pictures out there. Okay. You know I've been talking about Robbie Ray as my man all season long. But look at Zack Godley. Zach Godly is starting pitcher number twenty nine right now as we're in a Memorial Day. He's only thirty eight percent owned. Okay, this guy in his last five starts, twenty six strikeouts, only eleven walks, one r
a oh one oh four whip. When I really like a sixty six percent ground ball rate. You need that when the balls fly out in Arizona, you need that. In this era of the three true outcomes. This guy getting sixty six percent ground balls, That is my man. And if you're looking at someone where you could go into relief pictures that are in closer, watch out for Archie Bradley. This guy wasn't number one overall. Pick is only owned, but look at his ratios. One point to
three r a oh point eight to whip. Those are some arms on the Arizona Diamondbacks that are diamonds in the rough. When we come back, we're gonna join into the cipher. Me and Chris Pavona talking on a Memorial Day weekend. It's the Fantasy Freestyle here on the award winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Happy Memorial Day and welcome back to the Fantasy Freestyle here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Gets your boy. Dane Martinez speeds the spitting
statistician working on a holiday. But you know it is my honor, especially as we were broadcast on the American Forces Radio Network, to give a little taste a home to the service men and women who are looking to win their leagues and win that cash that a game in San Francisco has gone final, and the Washington Nationals did, in fact beat the San Francisco Giants three nothing to get the Nationals to twelve games over on the season.
But in case you haven't heard already, there was a benches clearing brawl as Bryce Harper was drilled by Hunter Strickland, which has a lot of people asking questions. Twitter blowing
up right now. People are wondering, you know, bad blood maybe going back all the way to the two thousand and fourteen playoffs where Bryce Harper wing yeah, yeah, off a Hunter Strickland in a big game and what I think was the NLCS or maybe the n l d S, you know, so maybe we've been talking about how pitchers harbor, harbor that resentment, never forget and I come on back and get him. But here's the kind of question that
I want to ask you people out there. Remember if this is bad Blood from the two thousand and fourteen World Series playoffs did because San Francisco Giants win the World Series in two thousand and fourteen, So what are you really getting retribution back for if in fact you ultimately won that series and won the World Series Championship.
I don't know if Hunter Strickland's teammates are really gonna ride behind that personal decision to try to go back at the guy who individually stood you up, especially in a time where you wind up winning the chip you won the World Series in that year. So that's why I kind of think it's a little bit weird. But hey, boys will be boys. I learned this weekend that hashtag Saturday Days are for the boys apparently, so I wonder
who Memorial Day is for. It's obviously for the servicemen and women and our opportunity to honor those who have fallen and also, you know, bring in a little bit of taste the summer. Apparently people can be wearing white and they are doing so out and about right now in New York City and beyond well Speeds is here

you need to win that cash. It's never too early to talk NFL news and notes either. So let me give you a couple more of those greatest shape of his life stories that I've been telling you. We are going to hear a lot of in the next month or two. Out in Seattle, they are saying c J Pro sites they think he's in the greatest shape of his life. Remember, health has been an issue for him, but today they say it is not a stretch for him to get sixty or more catches out of that
offense this year. Remember, Eddie Lacey will probably be the workhorse on early downs, which means that Thomas lou Rawls might be left without a chair when the music stops. Also, I told you about that Tampa Bay kicking situation. Robertoguayo continuing to struggle with Nicky Folk in there, nick Folkland
nine for nine over the weekend and kicking activities. I'm telling you Aguayo is gonna, you know, wind up getting cut and we're gonna see it on Hard Knocks on HBO, um Kirk Cousins and Terrelle Pryor seemed to be building chemistry for the Washington football team. They saying they're gonna try and get Prior as many touches as possible. He might be a solid white out two this year. But don't get it twisted. You've got Josh Dotson, You've got
Jamison Crowder out there. I think this really opens up pretty well for some j p Ryan at running back. Remember they've been saying that he could be the lead back already in Washington. I'm telling you p Ryan, Joe Mixon and Cincinnati uh Kareem Hunt in Kansas City these are the running backs that I think are really gonna blow up this year. Okay, I'm early with it. It's not gonna be the Leonard four Netts, it's not going
to be the Christian mccafees a Dalvin Cooks. Those are, um, you know, highly touted and we'll probably do some work. But watch out for these guys like p Ryan. Watch off for these guys like Joe Mixon and some others. Also, the Browns say they might be set to quote unquote fast track Deshaun Kaiser. Hugh Jackson, the coach there, says he's been a quick study. I like Cody Kessler to hold onto that job for now and into the season. And also, you know, encouraging news to hear. Great news.
The Jets have hired Collecte Smith to be an intern in their secondary this training camp. Collect Smith will be the first female higher in the New York Jets history. Remember Jen Walter had a similar role with the Arizona Cardinals two years ago. The Bills also hired Katherine Smith to be their special teams coach for in a full time basis last year. So, um, I think it's great
to see uh women getting some of these coaching positions. Also, you know, Todd Bowls a consistent thread there in the defense and the secondary of Arizona two years ago and the Jets. Right now, we're gonna start talking a little bit more about the NFL as we move on now that you know O t A s are going on. You know, just like we did for baseball, I'm going to preview every team. We're gonna do divisions, We're gonna
do over unders, we're gonna do positional breakdowns. All that fun stuff is gonna get started in a couple of weeks. But we gotta keep the cipher going right now on a more old day. I don't know if you've heard word. Next story out of decipher. Tiger Woods arrested today for d u I in Florida, and my, how the mighty have fallen? You know, this downward spiral. You know from his last I guess traffic incident on a Thanksgiving night years ago, he has really never been the same then
he had those back injuries. You know, credit to Jack Nicholas, who's you know, gonna probably maintain that major's record. Just to see that longevity. You know, you never know, something could always happen a lot of trolls out there on Twitter getting on Tiger Woods, getting on his mug shot, you know, and also getting on the idea that this guy has been a child star and been in the public eye and the consciousness for you know, the last twenty twenty five years, and um, maybe he needs to
kind of like step away. Remember he was in reab for a little while. So, I mean, you know, it's kind of sad to see what has happened to Tiger Woods and this is just yet another chapter of that. However, you know, I don't want to make light of this. He was processed, d u I. I've been wanting to talk to you guys about drunk driving and you know, on the holidays everyone, you know, please when you're going home from your barbecues tonight, be safe. Do not get
behind the wheel if you are not supposed to. But it reminds me of also these accidents that we saw in the off season in the Dominican republics. Remember Ivanni Ventura was killed in a car accident in the Dominican Republic. Remember Oscar Taveres was killed in a car accident in the Dominican Republic and others. Okay, there's something like fifteen pro baseball players that have died in car crashes in the Dominican Republic over the last few years. In South America,
and this is a cultural problem down there. HBO Real Sports did a big story on it a couple of weeks ago and how this is like a part of the culture um and part of the quote unquote machismo down there. Okay, people are routinely driving under the influence without seatbelts, way too fast. You can actually order a rum and coke in a drive through in the Dominican Republic. It's almost pride to be able to drink and drive. They actually have a street they're called cut the Major.
It is known as the Valley of Death. There are tons of accidents. There's even now down in Dominican Republic actual public service campaigns to honor kind of normal traffic rules because there's no cops out there enforcing it after seven pm, you know, So people are trying to literally raise awareness because of this UM. Hospitals professionals in this HBO special said they are seeing fifty to sixty car accident victims a day in the Dominican Republic. This is
an actual um. You know, like national emergency. And it's not only Dominican Republic. You know. John Oliver did a thing months ago about in Bolivia, they're literally having UM national campaigns as well. They have UM volunteers dress up as Zebras and literally do like, uh, you know, act as crossing guards to try to prevent this. They're trying
everything in South America. So on this day, on Memorial Day, when I'm telling people to be safe behind in the wheel, and also when we saw one of our stars fall because of uh, you know, driving while under the influence, I thought it was an interesting time to talk about please be safe out there. Um. And if you if you think I'm crazy out here this idea of the Zebras, it's literally a national campaign in Bolivia, check out check
it out on you know those interwebs. Put in like John Oliver Bolivia, Zebras traffic, things like that, and you will see I am not kidding. This is a national issue in many countries in South America where people are running, you know, drinking and driving with no regard to safety and to others. It has befallen multiple Major League Baseball players over the last few years. Uh So I just wanted to get that out almost as a public service announcement because I know people are out there right now
in the barbecues. If you listen to us on the Fantasy Freestyle live on one of our sports Byline affiliates out there on the West Coast, its prime barbecue time. Big shout out to all my homeboys out there, Team Yo Yo and the drinkings the West Coast out there. Um. But if you're out there enjoying yourselves, enjoying on this day, please do, in fact be safe when you are driving home. We also we got a full question up that I want to get into real quick and update us on.
I asked you guys, if you like these Memorial Day uniforms that are being worn around Major League Baseball at the the camouflage brims and the camouflage socks, kind of like how we have pink on Mother's Day, we have baby blue on Father's Day. Well, right now, right now, thanks to everybody, to the people who are voting again at fn T s Y radio and at spitting speeds. If you want to ask me you any questions, so
follow me on Twitter right now. Two thirds of you guys say you love it that you absolutely love the cameo uniforms a little USA USA out here on Memorial Day, while a third of you you say you actually don't like it. And see that's kind of this commercialization of yet another holiday, that it's just more more, just more things to buy, more jersey types, more hats out there to buy, in this kind of mercialized society where we take advantage almost of every holiday out there. But I digress.
Keep we'll keep on checking out on that poll. And if you want to holler at me on this Memorial Day or which happy Memorial data any service men and women, you can holler at me at eight four four eight four three six eight seven nine. When we come back though, on the Fantasy Freestyle, I'm gonna talk to my man Chris Bavona, where we put the fun and Functional Sports Radio. I told you Floyd Mayweather still has not signed this contract.
I got someone out there who might and we got some good sound also from my man Russell Westbrook, because you know, a Memorial Day, what is he doing with his fashion sense? Okay, all that and more here on the Fantasy Freestyle on the award winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network, and once again on this Memorial Day. Big shout out to the service men and women who are listening to
the Fantasy Freestyle on the American Forces Radio Network. It should Boy Speeds, a spitting statistician, honored to be here. Come on right back, Fantasy Freestyle. Welcome back on this Memorial Day. Happy Memorial Day out there to everybody. It's should Boy, Dane Martinez Speeds and spitting statistician, and you are listening to the Fantasy Freestyle here on the award
winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Big shout out of courts to our sports byline affiliates around the country and today even more than other days, on this Memorial Day, huge shout out to the servicemen and women listening on the American Forces Radio Network. I got my boy Chris Bovona with me on the ones. Zydudes. There it is there. It is so hot that we sweat steamed. Hey, Chris, let me bring you in here for a little bit
on two of these things real quick. First of all, Tiger woods Man, the spy, the downward spiral is almost complete. My take is this, especially when you've been in the limelight for so long, people struggle when they are kind of not as relevant anymore, and and and and you know he hasn't been able to get back from the injury. He's you know, not on that lofty pettist to that he has been in this society for about twenty years.
What do you think is going on here with the unraveling of Tiger Woods, um, you know, embodied by this d UI that apparently got last night. Yeah, Dane. The sad thing is that I think Tiger Woods is downward spirals started in two thousand nine, probably even further than that. Just like the just the way that he was treating his personal life day one, when it when it started with finding out of it all the women that he was with. This is just you know, kind of like
the cherry on topics. But I think for many people, when there's a lot of problems in your personal life, something like a d Y always ends up happening. So you know, maybe maybe now now this for tagger Woods, he's got a second he got a second shot. Now, well, we don't want to speculate and go into the mind too much of Tiger Woods, but I agree with Mr Bovon over here. Let's just hope that in some level that's conservitives something of a wake up call and uh, you know he could be on the up swing. I
do want to talk about this. Uh you know, Floyd Mayweather Connor McGregor fight. If you listen to Fantasy Freestyle, we have been following this ever since Floyd saying come out of retirement, and we talked about this negotiations, Would it happened, would it not happen. We talked about how the Canelo Alvarete Triple G fight kind of stole the date that was supposed to be on September sixteenth, when this was supposed to get it on. Well, I told
you guys last week. Connor McGregor has signed his end of the deal. Dana White has talked about the negotiations, and now Dana White has to negotiate with the Floyd Mayweather side of things. We thought that Mayweather was all about coming out, you know, being the A side and making this deal happen. But it's been a week and we have not heard from Floyd, and so I wonder if there's a little bit of a snag in negotiations.
But let me tell you something. We have word of someone who will step up if need be, and it is Manny Pacquial. I mean, I don't think this would be the same fight. And remember Patio does have a fight on July four first in Australia against Jeff Horn,
which is a legit fight. But TMZ caught up up with Bob Aram who was the Pacquiel promoter, and you know, he had a little bit of advice for Dana White on trying to negotiate with that money team in Floyd Mayweather and volunteer hearing his big time prize fighter pakiou if Floyd doesn't want to sign the deal, Hey, Chris, can we roll that? Sound Connor mc gregor so on his half of the deal. You've negotiated with the Mayweather camp before. Any advice for Dana White on getting on
Mayweather to sign a contract for the patient. Don't give in. Dan is a good negotiation and and he'll get the thing done. But he can't be pushed around by Mayweather. And right, okay, I hear that for some reason, he doesn't h SAG and you think Pako would step up and fight. Got a tough fight, really tough fight against this guy in Australia, Jeff One. After that fight on
July first, here in the United States. If Gregor is still looking for an opponent, Manny Paco was there, so they're here at Manny Pacio will be ready to go and he'll actually maybe sign the contract. I don't know. I think this is Bob Barron just angling for a few things. One, he likes any chance he can get to dig the money to remember, they had a long negotiation before ever trying to make that first fight with
Pakio happened. And also I think Patio could be angling for something different, because ultimately I do think this Floyd and McGregor fight will happen. But I think he's angling for his man, assuming he beats Jeff Horn, which he is going to be heavily favored to do in Australia on July one. I think he could be angling for his man to be the next man up for whoever wins that Canelo Triple G fight and have that be a super fight early on or maybe next May in
two thousand and eighteen. So Bob aram always negotiating, you know a little bit through the press. I got more sound for you here though, as we put the fun in Functional Sports Radio. As you know with Memorial Day, we got a little bit of fashion, right, you're supposed to you know, it's officially summer, you're allowed to wear white. Well, who does fashion these days more than the stupid stars of the NBA, you know them coming to the arenas,
what they wear in their press conferences. They're really kind of start their own style. Remember I think two or three years ago, the NBA All Star Game even had on All Star weekend like a literal fashion show. That's how fashion conscious the NBA has become. And one of the leaders of this is Russell Westbrook, the Triple double machine. And so now that it is uh, you know, officially summertime in the fashion world where you could wear white,
I wonder what that means for Russell Westbrook. People caught up with Russell wondering what he thought about the biggest fashion craze going on so far for men in two thousand and seventeen. Let's hear what he has to say about that, and what he has to say about being a brand new daddy with a newborn son. We got some sounds from Wessell Restbrook as well, lay it on as Bovona looking good. Bro. Hey, um, you know so summers here, you're one of the most fashionable guys in
the NBA. Can we get some summer style tips for the men out there? We need some style tips from the man. We're like, what what can we do to look fly this summer? Are you a fan of the Robber? You know? Because that that's gonna be hot this summer. I don't wear a rompers man, I just get chilling up. You know what you got coming out your own personal line. I can't tell you that, brother. I can't tell you that you have something enough to sleep though I know, I know you have some of the you have some
of the flies underwear out there. Bro. Congratulations on your new kid. Last question, man, what's harder you know, getting a triple double or a good night's sleep nowadays? What's the baby? I saw? It's a lot, a lot of work. We'll just do it. It's a lot of work. Right. That'll be your first Father's Day? Right or true? Very true? Well, happy father father, there you go. Happy Memorial Day and
happy early Father's Day to Russell Westbrook A bufone. I gotta ask you, man, because like you know, it's time to hit the beach, right. But Russell Westbrook says he won't be caught dead in those raw umpers that he's just chilling Bavona. Could could we ever get you even one of those rompers for the summertime? Absolutely not, Na, that's not your official beach gear of two thousand seventeen.
Not trying to be flying sexy and your romper. You know, I've never even heard about a romper until Joe Pizza Pia was talking about it all the time and on target. Really well, Joe Papia member, he is the official Fantasy Ninja Warrior as well. You should have seen it after our show on Friday. Uh we saw a little Frankie Standfill and Joy on Twitter going back and forth about who would be the Fantasy number one dancer and Fantasy number one Ninja Warriors. Scott Angle got in the act
as well, So no robbers for you though. Hump absolutely not a writer um so a romper. And you know, people, if I get this wrong, feel free to holler at me at a four four four, three, six eight seven nine, or holler at me at spitting speed, because I am not right now, absolutely not no, no, no, no, I am not. I am not the fashion guru. But here's what I think the romper is. Chris I think the romper is like a a one suit, a one piece,
a little jumper, but it's shorts. Okay, it's a short jumper, and it's a one piece, and it's also like button down. It's like a button down shirt connected to short shorts as a one piece that you can kind of unbuttoned. And every romper I've ever seen has been very um, very colorful, very pattern filled, very flamboyant. If you will, can we get you in one of those? I can't wear the same thing that my girlfriend wears. So no, fair enough, fair enough, fair enough, I understand, and I
accept your rationale. Maybe we'll try and see if we can get some of these guys posing in rompers here at the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. But I not, not not. I want to gain listeners baby here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, on Sports Byline, and of course on Memorial Day on the American Forces Radio Network to the
service men and women. Also, you know, Memorial Day is also kind of um, we've been talking about this the unofficial kind of start of summer, and so uh, you know, and and when I think summer, I think the boys of Summer, and I think Major League Baseball well, um, I don't know if you know this, Chris, and uh, you know you're a Simpsons guy. Do you know that Homer Simpson got elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame. Yeah, and so you got elected to the Baseball Hall of
Fame for the Simpsons episode Homer at the Bat. It is the twenty fifth year anniversary of this episode. So I wanted to say, you know, kind of happy boys of summer, happy official kind of summertime. And uh, you know, part of that episode was a great take on a pretty famous song that will get people thinking about baseball and the summertime. So, uh, do we have that for the people right now? Chris Well, Mr Burns had done it.
The power Plant had won it with Roger Clemens clucking all the one Mike Socialist tragic Illness made a s while Wade Box lay unconscious on the bar room tile. We're Talkingsolveball from Maine to San Diego. Talk consol Ball, Manningly and conseco Ken, Griffy's grotesquely swollen jaw, Steve Sacks and his running with the long. We're talking homeber Azien
the Strong. We're talking sofball Fromain to San Diego. Talking solve Ball, Mattingly and conseco Ken, Griffy's grotesquely swollen jaw, Steve Sacks and is running with the long We're talking home Longer, Hazien the strong today you have it. If that doesn't get you into this summer mood, I do not know what will. Big shout out to one of our listeners that actually just texted me also a picture of men in rompers, and let me tell you something.
Another thing, Bovona is it looks like they need to be in pastel colors to be a romper as well. Does that sell you at all? No? No, no, alright, fair enough, But yeah, I got a little nostalgic happened that here in that Simpsons track, you're talking soolful. I like how to say Main to San Diego, from sea to Shining Sea here for all of our veterans and all of our service men and women out there on Memorial Day. Big shout out again on the American Forces
Radio Network. I think it's cool that Homer Simpson gets to the Hall of Fame. They're gonna put a plaque up there as well. You know, it's interesting and maybe you know this as a big as a Simpsons guy Chris on the plaque. They did not include an interesting episode though, from season eleven of The Simpsons called Brothers Little Helper, where the whole theme of that episode was that Major League Baseball was spying on Springfield and then um Mark McGuire, I was just like hitting Homer's to
try and distract people that. Uh, you know that credit of the Simpsons was somehow left off the plaque on the Hall of Fame for some reason. What do you think about this Homer Simpson in the Hall of Fame before Barry Bonds Chris, Um, I think Homer is a little bit more deserving. I really well, I'm going by again that this uh, this episode came out what years ago, twenty five year anniverse? Yeah, I think yep, I have
a feeling that Homer was their first. Fair enough. Fair enough, And let me get your take on this poll question we got up right now on that F and T s Y radio Twitter handle and at your boys spitting speeds. Do you do you like these uniforms they do for
the holiday like this. Do you think it's a good way to kind of honor the holiday and celebrate the holiday, or do you think it's just another jersey for them to put out there on Moldell's and cell I. I look at it from both sides, but I go towards more. I think, UH, I like them. I like them more than anything, especially as long as UH profits do go to the right charities fair enough. I think that's very interesting. Well,
keep an eye on that as well. And right now, sixty eight percent of you guys say that you do, in fact love the uniforms that have been worn around Major League Baseball, with the camos on, the hats, on the socks, and even the ball itself is being stitched in green as opposed to the um the regular colors with the red stitching and the blue trademarks. So I
think that's very very interesting. When we come back though here in the Fantasy Freestyle on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, I'll check in on all the scores here around Major League Baseball, and uh, you know, we'll get you set for what's coming up next here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. It should boy Dane Martinez speeds the spitting statistician, holding you down on a Memorial Day with my man Chris Bavona here on the award winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network.
It is the Fantasy Freestyle when we drop stats overbeats, Come on back. We'll tie a nice neat little bow on this episode. Having Memorial Day, guys, welcome back to the Fantasy Freestyle here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, of course, simulcast on the American Forces Radio Network. Big shout out to all the service men and women listening to the Fantasy Freestyle for a little taste of home
here on Memorial Day. We thank you so much for doing what you do so that we are that we have the chance and the privilege to celebrate and honor you guys as well. Around Major League Baseball right now and games that are going on. We're scoreless in Kansas City, Tigers and Royals, were scoreless in Miami Phillies and Marlins. The Blue Jays though, and my man that I told you about, Marcus Stroman are up on the Cincinnati Reds to one. In the third inning. Russell Martin hit his
fourth home run of the season in that one. We had a poll question up do you like the changes in the uniforms on Memorial Day? And uh percent of you guys say yes. I mentioned though that they actually changed the stitching of the baseball to be green. And if you're a hitter, I think that really might me's with you on the curveball picking it up. I'd be really interested to see if any players had any feedback
from Major League Baseball on that. I'll tell you that's something we're gonna keep on talking about this week here on the Fantasy Freestyle, which boy the spitting Statistician as we help you win your leagues and win that cash. And last today on Memorial Day where we honor the fallen also Sad News for Report where um legendary sports writer Frank the Ford passed away today at the age
of seventy eight. And among many books and among many pieces that Frank did, I just want to tell you, I mean, he was kind of notorious to me in my opinion, for being very intelligent about not only the sports, but around sports culture, you know, and and and I think that's really important. That's something that I looked up to when it came to Frank that it was not only the games, but it was really around the society
and the cultural elements that go around it. And I hope you guys that listen to the Fantasy Freestyle think that uh speeds and spitting statistician can do a little bit about that, not only the sports, but on all the ins and outs and the intersticacies of sports culture as well. Once again, rest in peace to Frank to Ford, a giant in sports journalism. UM, I can only aspire to kind of bring it to you guys, not only a sports itself with sports culture in a way that
would honor him. But we're gonna try and do that every Monday through Friday here from seven eight p m. On the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, and we're gonna keep it going tomorrow. I'll give you my starting lineup we're gonna start this week. I'm also gonna give you my changes to baseball if I was commissioner, and we're gonna start talking about the NBA Finals as well. They kick off this Thursday, that trilogy with the Golden State Warriors
and the Cleveland Cavaliers. All that and more this week as we roll into summer. It is an honor on Memorial Day on the American Forces Radio Network to bring you this the Fantasy Freestyle, which boy Dane Martinez. Happy Memorial Day, everybody,
