Gregg, Frank, and Chris Ventra open the second hour of the show looking at some hard hit rates for Nationals call-up infielder, Carter Kieboom; Frank and Chris agree he is worth a flier in NL-only leagues. The guys finish the hour questioning why Chris missed the Friday night FNTSY party, and also question where to go vacation at the Jersey Shore this summer. Frank explains why the Reds may be the worst team in baseball.

(00:53):
Fantasy best Friends Forever. Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Frank Stamford,
Greg Suspen joined today The clothe what's up, guys? How
you doing? It's your boy the Closer Chris Ventry here,
how are you doing? Uh? Monday? Ready to get the
week started and ready to start really evaluating you know
these players and the teams and my my fantasy team, Joe,
(01:15):
Fantasy teams. You know what I mean? Now is the
time we got a nice sample size. But so we
actually talked about this either Thursday or Friday. Greg gonna
ask you, at what point do we have enough of
a sample to make like a pretty good judgment on
a player. And I said to him, I think Memorial Day.
We get to Memorial Day, we have two months of data,
but it seems like you're more so. Once we have
(01:37):
that month, that's solid month data, we're good. And Greg
is all right, look all I need is a day
and I'm I'm dropping him pretty much. Yeah, So there
you go, you gott you have a little bit too
soon ventures in the middle, and then maybe I hang
out a little bit too long. I like the two
months too. The thing is fantasy, like, okay, like a
head to head league. If you start off one and four,
let's say, which none of my teams are? I'm two
(01:59):
and two and three team, But you're maybe starting to
panic a lot of people I would think I want
in four. So this is when they're gonna really want
to start making moves, maybe even trades if their teams
and shambles and they got a lot of injuries. But
I mean, this is when you really want to start
looking at into guys and say, what what do I
want my team to be? Who do I want out there?
And you know, who do I want to let go here?
(02:20):
That's not getting it done for me, Like you gotta
really start making sure you have your core ready for
the rest of the season. Yeah, I think that makes
a lot of sense to And I think it's not
only for head to head though, because I do agree
with you there, Like you see your record. You might
be one and four, you might be owing five and
you're thinking damn and like his hearts come back from
You know what's even worse when you're a roto league
you're in fifteenth out of fifteen? Like, what do I do?
(02:42):
What I do? Man? How do I when you're not
when you're in fifteen places? Do you because I don't know,
I didn't don't tell me because I actually have a league.
I'm in a great Fantasy Baseball Invitational. My team as
I started the draft, Jose Ramirez and Bryce Harper. Those
are your mirrors, Bryce Harper, Walker Bueller or James Paxson.
Those were my first four picks. I've been fifteen fifteen places.
I mean, like my team is ravaged by injury. I
(03:05):
had had passed and go down. I had Archer go down,
had a Valdy go down. I mean I had to
pick up scrubs this week. I'm talking about like King
Felix it's a fift team league. I mean, starting pitchers
were really bad. Yeah. I think I had been on
like Matt Harvey and he sucks, Like I just had
to find guys that are pitching. In general, it was
(03:27):
it's bad, man. I've been hurt by injuries and this
scene like like this overall under performance. Man. So look, man,
you just you try and figure it out. There's no
trades in that league. We do have the fat bids,
but the free agency just wasn't good. So yeah, I mean,
I'm I'm I'm trying to battle back, trying to bounce
back out of that hole. But I hear you, man,
it's tough. I mean if you're in fifteenth in Roto,
(03:48):
which I don't. This year is the first year I
played in many years and probably ten years a Roto league,
and I wouldn't know exactly how you're gonna come back
from being in fifteenth out of fifteen. It's hard to
climb that ladder. It's really, it's really hard. A month
into the season, it's not impossible. Yeah, I mean, you're
gonna have to shake things up, like you're gonna have
(04:08):
to make some trades. You're gonna have to and a
lot of the times like there are you could end
up drafting the whole team where you're you're all your
guys are slumping to start the season. It happens. So yeah,
like if you have Jose Ramirez and you have like
rugenetto o door and you just have like a team
of all these guys that you draft and you felt
good about under performing again. I took Walker Bueler as
(04:29):
my ace in this league. He hasn't lived up to expectations.
He's been terrible, so to put it, to be honest,
to be too gonna have a lot, But it's not
it's not impossible to come down come back at this
point in the season. Now, if it's the middle of July,
if it's August, you start doing football research, it's probably
But at this point you can still bounce back over us.
(04:53):
We're in like we're in eighth place, Greg, We're not
really right if we dropped that right, Frank, We're doing
very bad. We have by far the worst hitting in
the league. By far. No, I mean there's a team
with eighteen points. We have two teams with eighteen. We
have seventeen and a half. We do have the worst
hitting in the league. Well, we're about to get Matt Olson. Bag,
We're about to get d D Back up up, Greg.
(05:13):
We're about to make a run here. Our pitching is
actually pretty good. Our pitching is very good. But we
are lasting runs. We are middle of the road and hits.
We are second of last in RBIs, second last. But
you know who's gonna help that, Matt Olson. Baby, let's
go Greg. Runs in RBIs need we need a lot
of those. Yeah, get those bunches, we'll figure that. Can
(05:37):
you make moves? Yeah? I think yeah, Yeah, there is
trading in this league. We picked up a few guys yesterday.
We picked up Ronnie Rodriguez actually performing well. We picked
up who else we picked up? We get Clint Frazier back,
which obviously picked up Brian Reynolds who's performing well for
the Pittsburgh Pirates right now. We also picked up Chris
Bassett to put in our fantasy rotation. Yeah. So we're
(06:01):
making moves. We're making some moves. We're not giving we're
not throwing in the towel yet. And we have two
new catchers. We have two new catchers. We dropped Beat
Casto and Francisco Mahia. We picked up James McCann and
Tony Walters. I like it there, like the Reds already
scored thanks the Nick Senzels leadoff home run. Oh yeah,
(06:24):
we'll leadoff bang bang shot zil. I just saw I
have the game streaming in the background here. I saw
him doing an interview before the game even started. It
doesn't look how i'd expect him to look. His face
just looks kind of weird. But it's good to see.
I'm run. I'm run there for since I he stole
a base over the season, over the weekend as well,
so I think he hit. He now has two home runs,
(06:46):
he has stolen base craggy, He's been better then harder
keep Yeah, I mean this is very bad. I mean
I made a huge mistake. Same, I picked up the
wrong prospect. Same and he took a shot in the
Great Fantasy bas Invitational. You want to talk about a
fifteen out of fifteen team, And yeah, I picked up
Carter keep him. I thought he's gonna help me. He's
not helping me right now. Um, you know the person
(07:08):
I could have picked up and said Michael Javis, who
is helping a lot of people right now. So it
seems like I'm definitely overreacting after one week, I picked
up the wrong prospect here. Well right now, Yeah, Javis
has been great. It took a shot. Yeah, I picked
up Pavis in my home league, probably feeling good. Yeah,
I got my first win in three weeks, so I'm
(07:29):
two and three. I was one in three. Start to
make the move back. But that's the only place I
got him. Yeah, I mean, I don't have sins out,
which I'm pissed about. I did draft him in one league,
but I dropped him. I didn't. I don't have any
shares of Nixon's I wasn't off of I just thought
the draft price was a little bit too steep considering
that he wasn't gonna start the year. Um but you know, again,
(07:49):
you just hid his second home run. He stole a base,
So you see a little bit already Greg some of
that power speed combination that we were talking about. When
it comes to Cinzelin, he's in a good spot, you know,
leading off for Cincinnati. It's a home game today. What
do you know, we had the sun's out. Once the
weather starts to heat up a little bit in Cincinnati,
those balls are gonna start flying out. Those players are
gonna come around. They're gonna perform a little bit. But man,
Michael Javis, Um, a few people were asking us about it.
(08:12):
What he's doing right now, Like the moment is not
too big for him. He's walking seventeen percent at the time,
so he's got good plate discipline right now, he's hitting
three thirty three, he's got a four or six c
O b P. Yes, he strikes out twenty five percent
at the time, but if you can mitigate it with
that kind of walk, great, hitting flyballs fifty percent of
the time, Greg, maybe a little a touch too high,
(08:32):
but hard hit rates. So you put those things together.
That's how you end up with the ticks home runs
already and only fifteen games. It's two stolen bases and three. Dude,
you picked up Javis. You feel great, Greg, better than
Carter keeping. Javis has been fantastic that at fifth yesterday,
still playing second base and where Newonz is off the
Dade had a nice little diving grab in the in
(08:54):
the shallow right field too, So he's holding his own
playing second base. He's gonna stay in the lineup, man, Um,
you know I'll throw this though it is your way, Gregy.
What do you think is there a great chance of
Carter key Boom? Like, how long is the leash for
Carter Key Boom? Because they have a lot of injuries.
Rendon is down now, Matt Adams is down, so it
seems like they pretty much just need the bodies. But
(09:14):
as they start to get healthier, if Key Boom isn't performing,
because a chance he gets sent backed down, absolutely, and
that's what scares the hell out of it. How long
do you think the leashes? I think the leashes still
trades Harter gets back. I think that's I think that's
what I would think. Great Turner is probably a month away,
maybe early June something like that. You feel about keeping
(09:34):
right now? You have any shares venture? No, I don't. Um.
I was thinking about it, but I think it's a
little bit over reacting. No, he's cold, but you know,
I think he could still turn it around pretty quickly.
And he deserves the chance because they need the bodies,
like you said, and they know that they're gonna have
trade Turner back. So this is just a temporary thing,
but he deserves a good month uh getting you know,
getting to acclimate to the MLB. Some guys could do
(09:55):
it right away, like Javis definitely, and then some guys
you know, they need time. Yeah, they strike up that
are killing him right now strikeout rate, but if you
look at the rest of the day, I mean forty
two percent hard to hit rate. So when he's making contact,
which has not been often striking out a lot, but
he's hitting the ball pretty hard when when he actually
does get the bat on the ball. And we talked
about some of those, uh, those those those bat skills,
(10:17):
those the hit tool that he possesses in the minor leagues.
This was a guy that was, you know, hitting almost
like four hundred, was absolutely crushing it. So he cut
down the strike outs. I think the fact that he's
making um optimal contact when he does make contact, it's
something that you can hang your hat on. I think, so,
I hope, so I don't think so, ye, I think.
I think I'm just trying taking the glass half full approach.
(10:38):
I need him to come around ninety two mile pur
average EXELOSSI that's that's very good. That is very good.
Cut down those strike auts. Maybe you get this guy
a pair of glasses or something, Greg, Maybe he's like
wild things. Maybe that's it he needs. He needs Eric
Stilgard glasses. I'm this guy. Let me ask you, Chris.
I did take him out of the line up in
(10:59):
a few leagues this week. I know he play seven
games and some deeper like in the main event, I
left him in because it's hard to come across guys
and he plays seven games. But in the one twelve
team league where I owned him, Greg, I actually did
bench him because I gotta see him. I had to
see him do it again in a league that shallow
because I had had another hitter on the bench. Dead
has just been better over let him adjust. Speaking of
players to bench, Chris, there's school starting pitchers have very
(11:22):
tough matchups this week, and we wanted to throw him
out at you and ask you what you would do.
We started with your boy, Joey lu Casey. He's in Colorado.
One start. Will he be in your lineup? No? No,
he hasn't been doing good enough, like really not very
well at all. Uh. And then the kys in the
(11:43):
last start only two k's. You know, at least if
he was keeping it consistent with six around six k's,
you might get some points out of him in the
points league. And I only I don't have him too
many places. But in the points League, I have other
guys got getting two starts, like Chris pack is starting today.
He may get two starts by the end of the week.
So I rather plug him in because he's already he's
pitching better anyway. I picked up de Sclfani in one
(12:05):
place for the two starts in San Francisco, so like,
I'd rather stream somebody like a Sclafani then go at one,
starting Lucazy against Colorado, Like that's just he might get
you four points in a point league. I mean I
was gonna do anything for you. Yeah, outside of and
only Greg, I think that's probably the only place where
I would start him because and only, like anyone who
just has a rotation spot you're getting in your lineup. Look,
(12:26):
if you had the luxury to get him out, sure
try it. But you know, and if even in a
fifteen team mixed, I would I would imagine you have
better options and putting Lucazy in at Colorado, So I
would pretty much try my best Griffin Canning for two
someone else? Yeah, ye, talk about him in the first half.
How about Galito for two in a deeper league? When
I mentioned him in the in the in the first
(12:47):
hour at the end there. He hasn't been good strike
outs out of there though Swinge strike rade is there
and the matchups are not bad, so that's something that
I it's interesting. I don't know if I s percent
It's like lu CAZy nowadays owned pretty high. He's lost
five percentage points of ownership in the last day. We're
(13:08):
in the YAHOO, so some people are starting to drop him.
He does have thirty six strikeouts and thirty six and
he's pitched, so a strikeout for any that's pretty good.
Five e r A one point four or four whip
that's not going to get it done, but at least
the strikeouts are there. Um. It seems like he has
had some tough match up to start the year and
he's already faced Colorado. He faced the Dodgers on Saturday,
He's faced Washington. Um. He has had two starts against
(13:31):
San Francisco. Though a bit of a mixed bag here
for Luke Casey. I think in deeper leagues I would
hold onto him. Oh you mean no, no, no, for
Luke Casey. Um, in deeper leaves, I would hold on
from twelve teamers dropping him. We're getting a little bit
close here, a venture, we're getting a little bit close.
I'm still holding just because listen, I'm gonna keep him
on my bench and then when he does have two starts,
IM throwing him in there. Unless there's two really brutal starts.
(13:55):
And you know, I paid a good price for him,
especially in this league, I'm to hold. I'm not gonna
drop him. He's still young, he could still turn it around,
he could still have a good season by the you know,
the second half. Uh So why would I drop him
for what? What's really out there right now that I'm
really picking up. I already have Griffin Canning, I have Sarocca,
I have the guys you want to pick up right now,
so there's nobody left to pick up for me, and
(14:17):
I have my rotation now pretty established. If you have
a pretty established rotation, you just throw Lucazy in the
back end. He's a back end starter now, and as
he the season goes along, maybe he'll climb him his
way back up to the top of the rotation. But
but now I'm holding, and you know, I'm gonna drop
him unless there's something really special out there that you know,
could help my team, Because I already got those guys,
So Roka and Canning all those guys right now for me, Greg,
(14:38):
I hope you didn't start through Palmer ends anywhere. Is
he's now losing four zip Suarez to run homer in
a Jose Glecias RBI triple, who in the past week
or so is actually not mashing since he reads Greggy
all it's the weather's heat a little bit in Cincinnati,
ball starting to fly out a little bit. You get
the homer from Senzel, you get a homer from a
(14:59):
Hennos Larez. I'm alright, this red lineup is gonna come
around a little bit. And RBI single for Kirk Catali
and thing's not going great for Yeah, you probably dropped.
Oh no, I'm playing Aby Skolfani. My ponent picked him
up for this week, assuming he goes five innings, Greg,
are you gonna get a win? I hate to see
that here he has a five minute, five nothing lead. Yeah,
(15:20):
I hate to see that. Okay, Um, let me go
back now to another picture. I want to ask you
about that. We have the dilemma on here this week, Chris,
and that's Jose Quintana. Okay, Jose Quintana. This week is
in Milwaukee. It was like his teammate is Cole Hamils.
What do you do about Kintana and or coal Hamil's Antana?
(15:42):
You said in Milwaukee, homads Milwaukee, Right, very good lineup.
Christian Elise is back. He's been pitching pretty pretty well
except for the start at Arizona. The Caves have been
down the list two starts for Quintana. So you're saying,
between Quintana against Milwaukee or what was the other one?
(16:03):
What was the Quintana against Milwaukee or his teammate and
his teammate col Hamials against Milwaukee is not of those guys.
That's tough. I don't know if i'd bench Quintana, I
might betch Hamils. Might be Hamils over Quintana. You know
you benched both of them. They're not on the same team.
(16:23):
I'm just asking I might play Quintana. It depends on
what else you got, you know, I would probably do
the Disclafani to start. That's already over now because he's
already starting, right, So, but I would I would have
did that over at Quintana. For one, Quatana is not,
you know, elite or or close to elite. He's he's
having he's been better. Bah, he's been good. He's a
(16:44):
good picture. The thing is it's done so far this year. Man,
he's got three four zero e r A not not bad,
forty forty k's and thirty nine innings pitched the past
two starts. He hasn't been striking guys at But it
will tell you this. I have a twelve team home
league where actually you have benched him, right, I like
in time for the year. But against the Brewers, I
just it's tough. You don't really trust them. The Brewers,
(17:05):
the Astros, the Phillies, the Dodgers. I just try and
avoid those. Obviously in Colorado, I try and avoid those
as much as am. I gonna bench them every single time,
Like no, but I I used Frankie Matas against Cleveland instead,
and I used Aaron Sanchez and Martin Perez two start weeks. Yes,
I would do that too. A break and we'll be

(19:43):
By the way, tickets tonight when every Yankees five books
books tonight? Who are going against the Mariners c versus
King Felix. I feel like I've seen that live many times,
probably have. That's a blasting pass right there. Interesting though,
five dollars five dollar tickets. Take advantage while you can,
man because once Stating is back Judge, I mean, if
(20:03):
they ever all get back once dating Judges back and
all these guys Aaron Higgs and Ded I mean those
tickets are shooting up, gregster back. You're not getting inside
the stadium for less than twenty bucks. I know, take advantage. Now,
what you can. I just don't. I just don't. I
don't like going on weeknights for I like going week
I like going on Fridays because then you don't have
to wake up earlier next day, like you're chilling, like
you don't have to worry about anything. The next day
(20:25):
is a Saturday. It doesn't matter what time you get home.
I like, you know, if you start six starts back,
like the six story start, but like the Saturday matinee
games to like one pm start, like, but it's just
for me living and Queen's getting from the Bronx to
Queens after the game ends, even if it's ten o'clock,
I'm not getting home till like and that's an hour
(20:45):
and a half to get home from from the stadium.
And that's taking public transportation, right yeah, so and if
you drive again about it and then you have to
pay for parking there too, you can pay, Like you know,
you're driving Chris to drive in on Friday night. I happened.
So Christina took the car to go to a friend's
house earlier at like six and she's like, oh, I'll
be back by like eight thirty. I was like all right.
(21:06):
I was like, I'll take the card the so you
actually texted me. So not soon after that, I fell asleep, right,
I passed out on the couch waiting for us. Next
thing I know, I wake up and it's like ten,
ten thirty and she just got home, and I'm like, really,
this is when you get home at that I was like,
I think we were all gone by, right, And I
(21:27):
don't drink, so I'm not gonna take public Like I
don't drink like that, So I'm not gonna take public
transportation to go there and then come home on like
like midnight, you know, on the train. I'd rather drive
and be comfortable. So I was gonna do that if
I left it like eight thirty nine, But when it
was ten thirty, I was like, it's already too late
at this point. By the time I get there, it's
gonna be eleven. They're probably gonna be done Friday night.
(21:50):
That was funny. That was all the Celtics. Bucks was
great because Dane and Frank bet on the first half
Boston minus one, and Boston was up most of the half,
and of course, right when you get to the last
twenty five seconds, Milwaukee hits a shot to get it
within one so now it's a push. Who hit the shot,
(22:11):
it doesn't matter, it's irrelevant story, irrelevant this story. So
somebody is a shot. So now Boston's up once and
right now they're out of push. But it's Boston's ball.
They got fifteen seconds left. They call time out, like,
all right, here we go. You hit a shot, you win.
They don't you push all good shot gets blocked. Milwaukee
brings it down the court five seconds ago. They dish
(22:33):
it out to pat Cottaton who takes the three at
the buzzer. The inted they lose, we missed it and
they want to push it. It was so exciting. I
was like, this is a lot. This is you know,
we should have known. It's just these odds makers are crazy.
It's just they always know. Celtics minus one first half.
I figured, look, they're gonna come out hot. Um their
(22:56):
home they've they've been a great home team all year long.
And you know, I just that's what I get. I
just don't what I've learned. Don't if you live in
New York, just don't bet on Boston teams. Just don't.
I've never won a bet where I've messed with the Patriots,
even betting on them. I've had time to where I
bet on. I bet on the Patriots last year against
the Jaguars. That was the game where we thought the
(23:18):
Jaguars were going back to the Super Bowl because they
the Patriots. That was the game I bet on the Patriots.
The game I bet against the Patriots was Aaron Rodgers
and Green Bay in Foxborough on Sunday night. What happened there?
They sucked, They laid an egg the Packers I had,
Oh my god, it was it was. But if you
did bet the Patriots against the Red Sox last year
(23:40):
in the World Series, I bet on the Dodgers, what happened.
If you live in New York, just don't bet on
Boston sports. Like let's say, if you bet the Patriots
every single game for the last like five ten years,
you'd probably make a ton of money. You're making a
ton of money potently, I mean, but nobody's doing that,
ye especially from New York. Cincinnati Red is gonna Cincinnati
reds Man just just a disaster. Had four outfielders right
(24:03):
going up against Brandon Belt. He manages to hit a
double down the line, and then what happens next He's
on second base, Babbo Standal hits a hot shot grounder
to a handing Suarez. What does Swarrez do has all
the time in the world because the panda's running the seeds.
The first baseman didn't even jump matterious. You know, it's
(24:26):
like they have four out fielders and Brandon Belts still
finds a spot to hit, to hit a double and
then you hit ut Suarrez just airmails one into the seat. Well,
that's so what a disaster. The run is not earned though,
it's not. It's just what's gonna happen next in this game?
Man is bad down. No, let's go here, Greggy. We've
(24:48):
got a few more injured names to talk about. Greg's
out of returning. We kind of talked about mad Olson
being on our team, but we didn't actually like to
give anyone any useful information regarding metals. No, we did not.
We didn't. So let's do that now. If people were
asking us about they should have him on the i L.
Most people the question is do you activate him? He
(25:09):
could potentially be back on Tuesday. We we haven't officially
got that yet, but Bob Melvin indicated over the weekend
that Matt Olson, who's been dealing with the hands your
injury could return from the injured list on Tuesday. I
believe the gentleman that was asking us plays in an
a L only league, So it will obviously depend on
who do you have in there right now. If you
have some slub first basement or utility hitter in there,
(25:32):
and it's just like they're more of a negative contribution
than they are a positive than yeah, I would take
a shot on Matt Olson, put him in my lineup, um,
But overall, I would imagine most people who own mad Olsen,
you've gotten by for now. You probably picked up a
first basement Christian Walker. Yeah, maybe you picked up a
Walker or a Boom Boo man Seni or something like that.
Me personally, I would probably take a patient approach. Let
(25:54):
me see this first week, we still don't know if
he's gonna be activated on Tuesday. I would take a
patient approach when it comes to Matt Olson. And I
know you've waited so long you you're excited about getting
him in there. I would wait and let me see
what he does this first week back returns, and he'll
probably sit out a few games too, because he's just
returning from injury um, so be a similar situation to Otani.
(26:14):
To Greg, what do you do if you want to Otani?
Because he could be back tomorrow as well. I thought
I read Otani was not back tomorrow. I think he
was backpack on this week. Last week there was an
update that he will be back by May seventeenth, and
there was an update to that that said he could
be activated tomorrow. Was I guess? Yeah? So he locked
(26:36):
six more plate appearances and he simulated game on Saturday,
bringing his total up to fifty, and the Rural World
blurb says all signs to point point to Otani being
activated for Tuesday's game against the Tigers. Okay, so similar
to Olson, what do you do you get him in there?
For whatever reason? I'm more likely Olson, I think because
like this has always been the timeline and everything seems
to line up. I do agree. I do agree with you.
(26:58):
If I was gonna start one of these guys, I
think it would go go with Matt Olsen, and I was.
I just said I was taking a patient approach with him,
So that just tells you we're at Matt with Otani. Ext.
I'm not stowing any this week. I think Olsen, you're
gonna be super cautious with him. He's probably not gonna
play every single like for us, like you and I
have a real Olson conversation. Sorry, sucks in that league. Yeah,
(27:18):
we have Yonder Alonzo as our corner infielder right now.
Actually we haven't been at first base. I know we
have Michael Franco as our corner. We have Ronnie Rodriguez
as our utility. He plays seven games this week, so
I'd rather just take a shot on him. At least
you know he's playing every day. Yonder also plays seven
games this week, right, so we're gonna leave the Yeah.
So in this situation, that just tells you how we
(27:38):
feel about Madelson right now, we're really taking a patient approach.
O man, he also seven games. Huh. But Ben Colton wall,
he's terrible, He's not. Why do you seem saying not
bad year he got cool, he got cool man last
Why do you guys keep saying that because he sucks.
But it's bad at ball day was good. You know
(28:00):
you're playing, uh playing a hard hit rate league. But
how about that, I mean, walk great this year you're
saying so you're saying you still wouldn't start. You still
wouldn't start Olson even with Yonder Alonso at first base,
who you gotta say is probably one of the lower
most leagues out there that people are playing. Let's say
they playing twelve teams as a majority. You know, the
(28:22):
worst first baseman in the league is gonna is probably
Olsen on a starting team Yonder Alonso. I'm sorry, So
you're saying even in that situation you wouldn't put Olson in,
so most that means people should probably shouldn't start uson. Yeah,
pretty much, we should wait. And that's basically how I feel.
And I do like him a lot, so you know,
I don't want to come off as like a Matt
Olson hater. I like him a lot, But Yonder Alons,
(28:44):
I mean, this is one of these guys all year
long that it seems like he's been a little bit unlucky.
He's batting one seventy three on the year he's expected
batting everyone is two fifty four. So I don't want
to miss out on that positive regression when it happens,
and he plays seven games still putting the ball in
the air, lot actually hitting the ball hard. Of this year,
he's got a forty six percent hard hit rate. I
think Yonder Long has been a little bit unlucky, and
(29:04):
the fact that he plays seven games, I think just
pushes it a little bit over the edge. You know,
you just look at the one. Seventy three doesn't look good.
It doesn't look good. It's very well turn that around.
Seventeen walks, it's twenty two strikeouts. The plate discipline hasn't
been terrible. Me personally, I would say Yonder Alonzo over medals,
you get a guaranteed seven games, right, That's why. Because
(29:24):
also might he'll be lucky if he plays three games
in the week. Do you have six games this week
if he gets activated tomorrow, I would I would think
he probably plays three or four. He might sit out
like one or two games this week, so you don't
want that. And also one of the funkiest batting stances too,
if you've ever watched medals, like holds the bat out
(29:45):
here like this, very very awkward to one his bombs.
So you know the Giants starting left fielders today, that
would be uh Stephen Dugger. Uh oh. I feel like
I saw this guy's name the other day and I
was like, I never heard of this guy, never read
(30:06):
the box. It must be an interesting life for you.
If your last name is Gerber, Yeah, I would, yeah,
it would, just I would make so many jokes to
this guy that's been three outfielders. Now the Giants are
started that I've never heard of my life. Joe Like Ford,
is that his name? Like Yankee? I don't even remember
who the other guy was that we were talking about.
(30:27):
It was a very plain name. Opening day. It was.
It was just it was like Michael Reid or something. Yeah,
that was it was. It's crazy, was like the Yankees
are doing the same thing when you have a lot
of with Mike Tukman and Mike Ford. That's true, right,
Like we're just bashing San Francisco. But like the past month,
the Yankees lineup is talk. They started this season, but
(30:49):
they started the season what works the outfield is and
they have now because they also got in the trade
Kevin Plaw So they were worse than this. We started
this season with a pretty decent offensive outfield at least.
Now it just you know, it fell by the wayside. Yeah,
you're coming around a little bit for the Giants to grade.
It was eyeball on him a little bit and some
fifteen teamers and only Stephen Douggers should be let's kind
(31:12):
of throw him out there because he's he's been in
the lineup the past couple of days or so the
past week. Another person dealing with an injury. We had
a few. Uh of course, we always have injuries, but
we have guys that are like kind of dinged up
and you don't know whether to put them in your
lineup or not. About Lorenzo Caine, what are you doing
with Lorenzo Caine this week? Because just another victim of
(31:33):
getting hit by hit by a pitch on your hands.
So he they've already come out and said he will
not be in the lineup tonight. But the Brewers do
play seven games this week. So even if he's not
in the line of tonight, if he plays tomorrow and
they play six games leading off a really good lineup,
you probably want Lorenzo Caine in there. In a five
(31:53):
out of the league, I'm leaving him in there. But
I actually have a home league where I had Freemancini
on the bench, and I took the more cautious approach.
I just put Mancini in there because I know he's
gonna play. I know he's not gonna miss games. Well,
he was school games obviously las because because he was
he got hurt as well. School games last week. Yeah,
I think he got hit on the hands too. But
(32:14):
like Mancini, didn't perform last week. But at least I
know he's gonna play, So it's Haynes is supposed to
be back tomorrow. It's more so in points leagues, where
I just I never really want to risk getting a
zero and line up in a points league. It's just
so it's about quantity. Yeah, you want the game volume.
You want guys who were gonna play. And Lorenzo Caine
when he plays, he's still really good. They said he's
gonna he should be back tomorrow. Does that mean this
(32:36):
has happened way too often where they say, all right,
a guy is gonna be back. What happ't Anthony barn done? Yeah,
it should be in the lineup. Next thing, you know,
he's out for a week and then he lands on
the I light. So when especially when it comes to
points leagues, I just want guys that I actually know
are gonna play and definitely gonna be a guaranteed. In
the five avular league, I would leave Lorenzo Caine in there.
But if you have a better option, you know, a
(32:57):
guy's definitely gonna play. And I think I again, I
just tend to take a little bit more cautious approaches
when it comes to these, right right. What about Okay, so,
but Kane might be back tomorrow. That's a tough one.
Like Olsen is easing easy the lineup blocks tonight, and
you know he's not going to be in the lineup,
so you gotta make your decision today. Like if I
had a week outfield, I'd probably plugged Cane in banking
(33:18):
on that he starts tomorrow. Yeah, I mean I can't.
I can't really blame you for that. What about a Well,
I saw something recently about a Kuna, you know, he
was banged up and stuff. I don't know if like
he's coming back right away or not. What's his deal?
I see day to day right now with him mostly
Chris Davis too saves with a k Yeah. He uh.
He was playing the outfield this week and because they
were in Pittsburgh so they didn't have the designators, and
(33:41):
he caught a ball in foul territory, but he was
running and he ran into like the side of the
barricade and he kind of heart his hip. So another
guy who is day today, Ronald un was not in
the lineup last night, not last night right because he
was dealing with a lower back from Saturday, so he's
considered day to day. I don't know, you weekly this
is a good call. It's another one of those situations
(34:02):
where the next thing you know, the guy could be
out a couple of days. The only thing is Ronal
Lacuna has higher upside movie, so you're almost leaving him
in your first round pick. So unless he's like on
the I L I'm probably just gonna leave Ronald Lacune
in my lineup. Reything about Chris Davis with a K, Yeah,
I I don't know. I have to do more research
(34:23):
into him. Hotly, I don't have any shares of Chris
Ris Davis would kay, so I haven't actually hadn't make
this decision. I brought up Lorenzo Kine because I actually
had to make that decision, and I put train Mancene
in my line up. Chris Davis said after Sunday's game
that he expects to return to the line up on
Tuesday dealing with a hip injury, So probably Chris Davison
there pretty possible, and they are. They're back in the
(34:43):
aisle on Tuesday. Uh, let's see they are because h fine, Yeah,
they have six game, six home games this week, right,
he'll he'll be fine. There was someone else I saw
that was day to day. Oh Bellinger, Yeah, Balinger dealing
with a shoulder issue. Like you just I mean, you
(35:04):
gotta leave him in there, right, I mean, let's unless
we get news tonight that like he's not going to
be in the lineup and he's not gonna play like that.
This is a situation to pay attention to. But with
what he's doing right now, he's like, well the last
two days, he he only had one at back the
last two games. So that dealing with a little annoying
little dinged up here, right, he has shoulder discomfort. I
(35:27):
would think he's a pinch hitter on Sunday, right, So
that's a good sign. I guess that he's played at
least he could swing the bat. I guess you gotta
leave him in. Luckily, I have him in a daily league,
not a weekly A lot easier obviously, um, but people
out there definitely haven't been weeklies, and it's tough to
(35:47):
make that decide and and the game is on the
West Coast tonight too, so it's at ten o'clock game,
so you probably won't have that line up until you know,
five six o'clock maybe for Lucky Um, but I would
say unless we get more information at like he's gonna
be out a couple of days or he's really dealing
with something here, I probably it's just the way he's
(36:07):
been playing. It's it's hard to hard to pench him. Greg.
He's right now like one of the best players in league. Basically, Yeah,
it's like him him versus Christian Yelich for the for
the n l m V peak for the first month
of the the season and sends the homeward again. Really yeah,
sends nice to see a bunch of prospects performing except
for one hours. Yea ours, Yeah, we owed him own
new Carter Keybom. I think I have like three or
(36:31):
four shares of Carter Key Boom. That sucks. Yeah, throw
another situation your way. How Ronald Guzman could be activated
Tuesday for Texas? What are we doing with Danny? Is
this the end? I don't think so. I don't know
if that it is. Man, he's remained hot. I mean,
(36:51):
he just could. He could be a super utility guy. Hey,
we'll give the We'll give the Shields a day off. Here,
We'll give Chew a day off. Here, we give Mazzara
day off against lefty because Danny Santana is a switch
hitter on days off. Againto left door. Of course, I
wouldn't drop Danny Santana yet either. Yeah, but this is
something that I do want to pay attention to. I
(37:11):
looked over the weekend. He played two out of three
games for them. He's been mostly in the lineup. Why
would right? Why would go? Is glose mind just much
better defensively? Is that the reason why? Because golose Mon
is not a good hitter? Not, he's not. He doesn't
have some cot be, he doesn't have some pop right,
But Santana's obviously a much more like Santana. For now,
(37:35):
let's say a break to that. Let's rap on the show.
We'll do it. Craps Maid Sailors is the leading cleaning

little bit of a jazz conversation on Friday. Venturo' not
that Sasmania. I used to fall asleep to jazz music
when he was a kid. Yeah, that makes sense. It's nice. Yeah,
put yourself to sleep. Keep those eyelids open, Greggy, I
need some lunched. You did it on purpose to fall asleep.
You put on jazz. You're saying much younger. Yeah, I
used to do the like the waterfall thing. I know,
(40:28):
I so I did that. I did waves after if
I would sleep, But I was like an hotel with
a bunch of my friends, and I couldn't sleep with
some noises and snoring and all that kind of stuff.
My head was in listen to waves, it's the best,
or rainfall or something like yeah, that would put me
right to sleep. I still do. I still do it
sometimes if I can't fall a sleep, Yeah I can.
(40:49):
You're right, you know, I mean, do you ever do that? Right?
You ever have nice? You can't fall a sleep? You
just listen to stuff like rainfall or waves or anything.
I've heard of people doing it me personally, I've never
I never had. Doesn't call me down. Maybe I should.
It's not because there's a lot of nights where I
can't fall asleep. I've I've actually adapted a new process
for them. Is taking CBD melotonin now there is it?
(41:10):

that doesn't help me anymore about these home runs. Gregy
for for Nick Senzel three American small park, just getting help?
Was you know a little little you don't We read
(41:33):
over the weekend. I read over the weekend that parks
have to have certain dimensions now where how far the
walls have to be. So for the Yankees, who obviously
right for the port three fourteen, which is real short,
incredibly short, they had to get special permission we're building
the stadium for MLB to get a waiver to leave
it at three fourteen. I always kind of thought, how
(41:56):
did it work when building, because I mean, if you
have you've ever seen like the drawings of like all
the outlines and they show it's like an overlay. It's
it's really awesome on Twitter before where they basically do
the outline of every stadium and everything looks like every
looks different. Really really do but mention what there? You know,
what what what kind of qualifications or whatever. Back in
(42:17):
the days, the polo grounds will like down the line
was like hundred was like two hundred some feet, like
very short down the line, and center field was like
five feet away. It was like a huge diamond. You know,
it was crazy. But that obviously was before they had
these dimension parameters or whatever, no doubt, right, So because
now I would think you need to have it at
(42:38):
least three hundred and fifteen feet down the line or
or further right, because otherwise it's it's way too small.
By the way, you can catch Make It Rain with

and Dane. We did mornings or six to nine am
Eastern only on f T s Y. There you go. Um.
By the way, after the show, guys, we gotta get
the battery that the guys are building outside. We gotta
put it in that corner and we'll take it down,
put it up. We're gonna transport that. That's what I
(43:19):
started thinking. I don't think it's gonna fit in an elevator.
It's very big. Well, did I told him not to
put the thing on, because just put the thing the
holes you'll think me transfer that and the elevator the poles. Well,
we're gonna find out. Yeah, we're gonna have a new
set over there. Yeah, my thought was kind of on
this one. I'll leave that. I kind of want to
move it over to put it back to back maybe
(43:40):
like that. It might be a little bit too cluttery. Alright,
so move that. So move that over here or something. Yeah,
just spitballing right now. Yeah, that's a good idea. Yeah,
we think that could be cool. We gotta do that.
We gotta do that the afternoon. So yeah, we gotta
we got something to the chat here. So bastard Anderson says,
see bass treated Max hers Are and Edwin Incarnacion, Chris
(44:02):
Sale and Joey Gallo. There's interesting trade take on a
little bit of risk here, well, a decent amount of risk.
I don't like that. I don't like that Sale. But
Joey Gallo is considerably better than Edwin and Cassio? Is
he considerably considerably? Doesn't he have like he's a monster?
(44:23):
Doesn't Edwin? Yes, he definitely has more home runs? And
I agree with that. All right. So Joey Gallo in
the year, he's got eleven bombs and twenty six, yes,
twenty score ten homers. He's got one more homer, He's
got three more rb I and one more run scored,
So I would not say significantly any means slightly to
(44:44):
one for Eddie to seventy for Joey Yellow, I'm sure
drop that will flip flop almost basically babb it for
joe yallows three for Eddie is two thirty one, so
those are normalized. So good dream of the guy getting
exactly how many books does gallow? Yeah, he's excellent. He's
ob ps is it four thirteens at three seventy three?
(45:10):
Also massive walk crazy? Yeah, definitely, Yeah, that's yeah, they're
a little bit closer than I thought. Nasi and joe
very close. Like every time you look up Joey Gallas
at a Boscarassi owned lately veteran, he just keeps getting
it done, all right. Yeah, yeah, I do agree with
you guys, and I'd rather have ye huge. Sorry, but
(45:31):
hey man, we're we're speaking honestly with you, telling the truth.
You know what, somebody used to say this. It might
have been Ronus. He used to always say, I don't
know you don't me know who it was great, I
believe it someone who used to do the morning show
We haul in and ask us before you do the trade.
Don't ask us, hey, what do you think about this?
Afterwards ask us, hey should I do this trade beforehand?
(45:54):
And then we'll do what we just did. We'll talk
about it, figure it out, let you know our thoughts,
not that you do a trade, and then afterwards we're
just like might have been. Actually is the best pitch
in the league. I mean, you really don't want to
give my slush for a guy who's been doing so badly.
I know, but surs there might be a good bye
low right now because people see the surface stats and
(46:15):
like he's the r has been great to start the year,
but all the underlying numbers for sure, as there are,
he's gonna be just fine. Yeah, whereas sale scary even
though the huts have been coming around a little bit. So, yeah,
here's what I was talking about. You got a four
zero eight e R a venture. He's got a to
six six exfit is left on base forcentage is sixty
(46:38):
five percent in his career, it's seventy six. Yeah, that's
definitely going. Yeah, he's got a three seventy seven babbit
right now to eighty nine for his career. So he's
just he's giving up a lot more hits than usual,
probably defenses, and then it's gonna come down a little bit,
and then, uh, the defense is making error. We're just
gonna blame everything on Carter Keyban and then his left
(47:00):
on basics is just considerably lower than where it's been
at the past couple of years. Better day. He's coming
from Max Scherzer and obviously sales doing better too, but
better than he was. Anything was better than he was
at the beginning of you. But he's getting case ten,
case eight, case ten case. That's good the view o.
It's still fluctuating, but right he's pitching through right now
(47:20):
all is better for sale, but still not as good
as Max. Right, so the trade for sers was better.
What is he got? Grey? What else do I have? Like?
What else is he got else he has? I know? Um?
What else do I have? I lost what I had
(47:40):
to be Honestly, the Reds are about to blow up
this game. It's blown up. It's seven one. I read
a really interesting article today I wanted to bring up
to you guys. Actually, no no deal, care or not.
I thought it was interesting in Athletic, really long form
article in The Athletic about Gary Denmo who is Jeter's
(48:00):
right hand man and form hitting coach for the Yankees
and basically at the biggest a hole ever. And now
that they don't blame Jeter for things, but this guy
just hates overweight people. And he basically would come into
his room and be like, you, guys, don't go to
the gym enough, you're fired? What? Yeah? That even no,
but he did it. That was as like a front
(48:22):
office executive of the Marlins. Yes, he's been doing that. Yes,
that's crazy. How is that allowed? I don't know. He
just thinks people are overweight. They don't. He doesn't like them.
He's not wrong about do you have to eat better
to go to the gym? And he treats you differently
than he treats people that are of shape. Well, that's
that's not good. I mean, look, we're not the most
(48:42):
in shape guys here. Venture is probably the most in
shape out of all shape I mean not really, you know,
hold myself to high standards, Greg, But regardless, who were
we though? Were we to judge? You know, like it's
like playing god kind of. You know. That's like if
people want to be fat, letting be fat? Yeah, what
is he gonna do? Like? Um, you know, if he
had Hey sus Agila on his team. You know, let's say,
(49:05):
because if you can't overweight. Yeah, I don't know. I
want to run down the Marlins players and see if
we can find any fatties on there. Borrow Farrow is
a little chunky. Yeah, that's true. So they traded for
him too. He was in the background town Jeter, don't
trade for this game? He was. Then he was like
all these prospects, Like I told you not to think
by fat prospects the article. I don't think it's crazy.
(49:25):
They like six those sanswees. Seems like he's in pretty good.
Flo fled Guerrero is not on his list of top
he would like, we're not trading for him. No, So
the whole point of story was like a lot of
people really like Gary Demo. If you think he does
a really good job, but he's an a hole. Sounds like, well,
I'm sure he's growing up and down their lineup. Hoo.
Farrow probably the only guy who's a little what are
(49:47):
the pitching stand They any fat pictures? Maybe that's why
they traded Awa. Kyle Barraclos do fat. I don't think
babol Lopez is in good shape, say Katar is in
good shape. Yeah, they're all pretty you know, these guys
are all pretty good. Caleb Smith, Caleb Smith, gentlemen, that
Caleb Smith has a little bit it's some baby fat
on him. That he said that, like people came to
camp this year. Last year it was like a prospect.
(50:08):
He in camp and he goes, so you think you're
in shape? He was like six ft two hundred pounds.
You know, I think it would be better shape. But yeah,
I'm I'm in shape. Start, I'm ready to work. They
told you to be in shape, and they released a
three weeks later. O my god, through one time. What
do you want these guys to all look like? You know,
(50:28):
that's not that bad. You want to be like a
Greek sculpture or something. Does everyone have to have a
you know, six packer. That would be I would say
that's a little bit over the average six. Wait and
the guy was saying and he sounded like he said
the right thing. Like he sounded like he said, I'm
I'm in fine shape. I can get better. I'll work
at it all. You know, work hard. Matter that I
(50:49):
told you, Well, if he told you something, you gotta
listen yeah, technically that's your boss, right. You gotta listen.
Smike Cornando came in here and said, Greg, I'm gonna
give you six months to get a six pack. You're fired.
I think Greg's probably gonna get five six months to
get a six that's tough. I'll buy Mysel'll go to
the story in a six pack right now. Ye wait,
(51:11):
a bunch of those on on Friday. No, I mean
six months. Actually, you get a six pack and six
that's all you dude. You know how hard it is
to get a six pack if you don't already have one, Like,
if you're not like just naturally have one. That's what
Me and Greg don't have them. I don't either. I mean,
you know, you're probably the closest. I mean I have
like a four pack. You know, you gotta pack. I
got no packs. I got one. Me and Greg we
(51:31):
have like little uh you know, like Heineken, uh, little
Hieken mini cakes. That's what we get. That. That's not
bad though, I mean you have a little so everybody
has a little something, right, that's a little something, A
little that's so hard to burn off because you cannot
eat anything fatty really at all. A whole month of
no carbs lost not a weight before. I lost twelve
pounds in a month. Did you lose there? Yeah, a
little bit when I when I put my jeans on,
(51:53):
actually notice, I was like this, it's kind of weird.
It's crazy. Have kept it off. No, terrible job. So
all the pounds that you lost your game back? Uh no,
not all of them. You know, I'm kind of I
met back in the middle. I lost like, okayounds, that's
not at all. I'm kind of mad at myself. You know,
(52:17):
obviously all the drinking we're doing, and then you come
home at late at night, you're hungry, strunk, and you're like,
I gotta eat something. Well, you're ridiculous. We went to
the egg game. We had a monster like chicken figure
thing and even back I had another meal. What it
was not that that night? Oh no, it was different night. Now,
this guy started out to be like there was a
different there was a different night. There was a different
(52:38):
nights that we hung. Oh it was a GD draft
where we sat and I was like starving and I
ordered food we had let me shared maybe an advertised
advertising and I had like dinner and Freq went home
and like what a go in the morning of the
eight dinner. But I was drinking. That's why I met.
You could have eate with me like at eight o'clock
and then you diected. I was to the auction. I
(53:01):
was really into it. I was like, I can't go
on the auction right now. There's too much going on.
That's true, So I gotta understand what I do. I
got street me and like chicken over right, eating that
at one I am not good. Yeah, you wake up
the next day you feel like banged up a pretty much.
I feel I'm not I'm not healthy. I don't know
(53:23):
what's going on. Man to the doctor. Drinking is not
gonna help. Then I didn't accept that. My still makes
me a little messed up over the last couple of days. Yeah, yeah,
I'm not the normal ballance schedule I'm used to. It's
not going as normal. You really have to eat some
funky stuff when you go home, Greg, because I see
you coming here every day. You eat a salad, fresh healthy,
(53:46):
But you know what Greg eats pretty healthy here? Yeah,
I'm like, all right, well, I don't know what he does. Know,
you know, basically, what you do when you go home
is just what I do for every meal, right, but
I try to limited to one meal, like a minimum.
You should probably be like three pounds. You're not the
basketball and stuff. We got a little lucky. Maybe I
(54:07):
will play tonight. You stay active, you'll be all right.
You could eat, you know, you try and walk a
little bit. I would like to go jogging. It hasn't
been warm enough yet. Today is supposed to be nice.
Tomorrow is gonna be like fifty and rain again. No, no, no,
that's tomorrows like the seventies. Really, Wednesday was fifty. No,
we're getting We're getting one of these days soon. Here
we go Thursday. This is New York right now. Tuesday seventy,
(54:31):
Wednesday sixty seven, Thursday fifty five, Friday sixty nine. Yep, nice,
this is the come on, man, it's like because there's
no seventy degrees every day now I think it's May.
There's no spring anymore. We're passing. We go from a
winter to this like transition period where we're going from
like fifty degrees to seventy back to fifty, and then
all of a sudden you're in summer. All of a sudden,
(54:52):
you're gonna see it's gonna be like seventies eighty degrees.
I woke up feeling kind of creepy. Today. I sleep
with the window open to try and get some ventilation
in my house. This is this is how people get sick. Yeah,
I woke up feeling you know, I feel like I'm
getting head cold. Now, what's going on? Yeah, when I
put on a heater, it happens to me. To New York.
You can make it here. You can make it anywhere.
(55:14):
Concrete jungle, Greg, that is true. But there is a
lot of opportunity in New York. There's a lot of
people living here. Yeah, it's dirty. I gotta get out
of here. It's dirty. I'm going. I'm moving back to
I'm going to Jersey, going to Jersey with Craig. That's
not I used to live at the Jersey Shore. I'm going. Yeah,
that is the right place in the Jersey. Show though.
(55:35):
You'll get a nice quiet place in the Jersey Shore. Now,
I'm pretty sure there's no quiet places in the Jersey.
It's a big show. Yeah, you can find something, you
find something. I've never been a Jersey Shore. I would
like to go, Greg, Oh, the real one. Yeah, which
you're a Jersey Show. Uh, the one where you watching
TV like different Point Pleasant. You tell me, I've never
been there, so I don't know. There's like three big ones.
(55:57):
There's a lot. There's like three big ones like Seaside
Heights Point and then there's another one like Margie down there.
Have you been to all of them? Yes? What is that?
I don't know what that one is Lava that's right
next to Seaside Heights. All right, so let's we kick
the nicer that's like the nicer area you go the
Point Pleasant, this man logan, there's a whole great what
does what does bell Mar account as bell Mark, Belmars,
(56:19):
Jersey Shore a little bit more close one minute? Right?
So so bell Mar at a lot of bell Mar
is what you you see? Like um bare is around
bell Mar? Yeah? Djays Jenks Jenks right, Jenkinsons Jaks' Point Pleasant?
Is it? James Point Pleasant? Yes? The joint jas d
Jayson Jenks is in Point Pleasant? Okay, So which one
is the best I have to go to? Excially, what
(56:42):
are you looking for? How how do you feel about
guidos because they're at every single one of those. Yeah, yeah,
I'm not escaping them. It's a bunch of me that
jacked out of their mind. Then that's all you can amounted.
The least amount of guidos is the more north. The
more north you go, the less guidos. More north further
you know, I don't know about that, they'll still be this.
(57:04):
You go got you go down to market in a
c speaking Guido's lust have Evida, Chris and Matt, we'll

(00:53):
Fantasy best Friends Forever. Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Frank Stamford,
Greg Suspen joined today The clothe what's up, guys? How
you doing? It's your boy the Closer Chris Ventry here,
how are you doing? Uh? Monday? Ready to get the
week started and ready to start really evaluating you know
these players and the teams and my my fantasy team, Joe,
(01:15):
Fantasy teams. You know what I mean? Now is the
time we got a nice sample size. But so we
actually talked about this either Thursday or Friday. Greg gonna
ask you, at what point do we have enough of
a sample to make like a pretty good judgment on
a player. And I said to him, I think Memorial Day.
We get to Memorial Day, we have two months of data,
but it seems like you're more so. Once we have
(01:37):
that month, that's solid month data, we're good. And Greg
is all right, look all I need is a day
and I'm I'm dropping him pretty much. Yeah, So there
you go, you gott you have a little bit too
soon ventures in the middle, and then maybe I hang
out a little bit too long. I like the two
months too. The thing is fantasy, like, okay, like a
head to head league. If you start off one and four,
let's say, which none of my teams are? I'm two
(01:59):
and two and three team, But you're maybe starting to
panic a lot of people I would think I want
in four. So this is when they're gonna really want
to start making moves, maybe even trades if their teams
and shambles and they got a lot of injuries. But
I mean, this is when you really want to start
looking at into guys and say, what what do I
want my team to be? Who do I want out there?
And you know, who do I want to let go here?
(02:20):
That's not getting it done for me, Like you gotta
really start making sure you have your core ready for
the rest of the season. Yeah, I think that makes
a lot of sense to And I think it's not
only for head to head though, because I do agree
with you there, Like you see your record. You might
be one and four, you might be owing five and
you're thinking damn and like his hearts come back from
You know what's even worse when you're a roto league
you're in fifteenth out of fifteen? Like, what do I do?
(02:42):
What I do? Man? How do I when you're not
when you're in fifteen places? Do you because I don't know,
I didn't don't tell me because I actually have a league.
I'm in a great Fantasy Baseball Invitational. My team as
I started the draft, Jose Ramirez and Bryce Harper. Those
are your mirrors, Bryce Harper, Walker Bueller or James Paxson.
Those were my first four picks. I've been fifteen fifteen places.
I mean, like my team is ravaged by injury. I
(03:05):
had had passed and go down. I had Archer go down,
had a Valdy go down. I mean I had to
pick up scrubs this week. I'm talking about like King
Felix it's a fift team league. I mean, starting pitchers
were really bad. Yeah. I think I had been on
like Matt Harvey and he sucks, Like I just had
to find guys that are pitching. In general, it was
(03:27):
it's bad, man. I've been hurt by injuries and this
scene like like this overall under performance. Man. So look, man,
you just you try and figure it out. There's no
trades in that league. We do have the fat bids,
but the free agency just wasn't good. So yeah, I mean,
I'm I'm I'm trying to battle back, trying to bounce
back out of that hole. But I hear you, man,
it's tough. I mean if you're in fifteenth in Roto,
(03:48):
which I don't. This year is the first year I
played in many years and probably ten years a Roto league,
and I wouldn't know exactly how you're gonna come back
from being in fifteenth out of fifteen. It's hard to
climb that ladder. It's really, it's really hard. A month
into the season, it's not impossible. Yeah, I mean, you're
gonna have to shake things up, like you're gonna have
(04:08):
to make some trades. You're gonna have to and a
lot of the times like there are you could end
up drafting the whole team where you're you're all your
guys are slumping to start the season. It happens. So yeah,
like if you have Jose Ramirez and you have like
rugenetto o door and you just have like a team
of all these guys that you draft and you felt
good about under performing again. I took Walker Bueler as
(04:29):
my ace in this league. He hasn't lived up to expectations.
He's been terrible, so to put it, to be honest,
to be too gonna have a lot, But it's not
it's not impossible to come down come back at this
point in the season. Now, if it's the middle of July,
if it's August, you start doing football research, it's probably
But at this point you can still bounce back over us.
(04:53):
We're in like we're in eighth place, Greg, We're not
really right if we dropped that right, Frank, We're doing
very bad. We have by far the worst hitting in
the league. By far. No, I mean there's a team
with eighteen points. We have two teams with eighteen. We
have seventeen and a half. We do have the worst
hitting in the league. Well, we're about to get Matt Olson. Bag,
We're about to get d D Back up up, Greg.
(05:13):
We're about to make a run here. Our pitching is
actually pretty good. Our pitching is very good. But we
are lasting runs. We are middle of the road and hits.
We are second of last in RBIs, second last. But
you know who's gonna help that, Matt Olson. Baby, let's
go Greg. Runs in RBIs need we need a lot
of those. Yeah, get those bunches, we'll figure that. Can
(05:37):
you make moves? Yeah? I think yeah, Yeah, there is
trading in this league. We picked up a few guys yesterday.
We picked up Ronnie Rodriguez actually performing well. We picked
up who else we picked up? We get Clint Frazier back,
which obviously picked up Brian Reynolds who's performing well for
the Pittsburgh Pirates right now. We also picked up Chris
Bassett to put in our fantasy rotation. Yeah. So we're
(06:01):
making moves. We're making some moves. We're not giving we're
not throwing in the towel yet. And we have two
new catchers. We have two new catchers. We dropped Beat
Casto and Francisco Mahia. We picked up James McCann and
Tony Walters. I like it there, like the Reds already
scored thanks the Nick Senzels leadoff home run. Oh yeah,
(06:24):
we'll leadoff bang bang shot zil. I just saw I
have the game streaming in the background here. I saw
him doing an interview before the game even started. It
doesn't look how i'd expect him to look. His face
just looks kind of weird. But it's good to see.
I'm run. I'm run there for since I he stole
a base over the season, over the weekend as well,
so I think he hit. He now has two home runs,
(06:46):
he has stolen base craggy, He's been better then harder
keep Yeah, I mean this is very bad. I mean
I made a huge mistake. Same, I picked up the
wrong prospect. Same and he took a shot in the
Great Fantasy bas Invitational. You want to talk about a
fifteen out of fifteen team, And yeah, I picked up
Carter keep him. I thought he's gonna help me. He's
not helping me right now. Um, you know the person
(07:08):
I could have picked up and said Michael Javis, who
is helping a lot of people right now. So it
seems like I'm definitely overreacting after one week, I picked
up the wrong prospect here. Well right now, Yeah, Javis
has been great. It took a shot. Yeah, I picked
up Pavis in my home league, probably feeling good. Yeah,
I got my first win in three weeks, so I'm
(07:29):
two and three. I was one in three. Start to
make the move back. But that's the only place I
got him. Yeah, I mean, I don't have sins out,
which I'm pissed about. I did draft him in one league,
but I dropped him. I didn't. I don't have any
shares of Nixon's I wasn't off of I just thought
the draft price was a little bit too steep considering
that he wasn't gonna start the year. Um but you know, again,
(07:49):
you just hid his second home run. He stole a base,
So you see a little bit already Greg some of
that power speed combination that we were talking about. When
it comes to Cinzelin, he's in a good spot, you know,
leading off for Cincinnati. It's a home game today. What
do you know, we had the sun's out. Once the
weather starts to heat up a little bit in Cincinnati,
those balls are gonna start flying out. Those players are
gonna come around. They're gonna perform a little bit. But man,
Michael Javis, Um, a few people were asking us about it.
(08:12):
What he's doing right now, Like the moment is not
too big for him. He's walking seventeen percent at the time,
so he's got good plate discipline right now, he's hitting
three thirty three, he's got a four or six c
O b P. Yes, he strikes out twenty five percent
at the time, but if you can mitigate it with
that kind of walk, great, hitting flyballs fifty percent of
the time, Greg, maybe a little a touch too high,
(08:32):
but hard hit rates. So you put those things together.
That's how you end up with the ticks home runs
already and only fifteen games. It's two stolen bases and three. Dude,
you picked up Javis. You feel great, Greg, better than
Carter keeping. Javis has been fantastic that at fifth yesterday,
still playing second base and where Newonz is off the
Dade had a nice little diving grab in the in
(08:54):
the shallow right field too, So he's holding his own
playing second base. He's gonna stay in the lineup, man, Um,
you know I'll throw this though it is your way, Gregy.
What do you think is there a great chance of
Carter key Boom? Like, how long is the leash for
Carter Key Boom? Because they have a lot of injuries.
Rendon is down now, Matt Adams is down, so it
seems like they pretty much just need the bodies. But
(09:14):
as they start to get healthier, if Key Boom isn't performing,
because a chance he gets sent backed down, absolutely, and
that's what scares the hell out of it. How long
do you think the leashes? I think the leashes still
trades Harter gets back. I think that's I think that's
what I would think. Great Turner is probably a month away,
maybe early June something like that. You feel about keeping
(09:34):
right now? You have any shares venture? No, I don't. Um.
I was thinking about it, but I think it's a
little bit over reacting. No, he's cold, but you know,
I think he could still turn it around pretty quickly.
And he deserves the chance because they need the bodies,
like you said, and they know that they're gonna have
trade Turner back. So this is just a temporary thing,
but he deserves a good month uh getting you know,
getting to acclimate to the MLB. Some guys could do
(09:55):
it right away, like Javis definitely, and then some guys
you know, they need time. Yeah, they strike up that
are killing him right now strikeout rate, but if you
look at the rest of the day, I mean forty
two percent hard to hit rate. So when he's making contact,
which has not been often striking out a lot, but
he's hitting the ball pretty hard when when he actually
does get the bat on the ball. And we talked
about some of those, uh, those those those bat skills,
(10:17):
those the hit tool that he possesses in the minor leagues.
This was a guy that was, you know, hitting almost
like four hundred, was absolutely crushing it. So he cut
down the strike outs. I think the fact that he's
making um optimal contact when he does make contact, it's
something that you can hang your hat on. I think, so,
I hope, so I don't think so, ye, I think.
I think I'm just trying taking the glass half full approach.
(10:38):
I need him to come around ninety two mile pur
average EXELOSSI that's that's very good. That is very good.
Cut down those strike auts. Maybe you get this guy
a pair of glasses or something, Greg, Maybe he's like
wild things. Maybe that's it he needs. He needs Eric
Stilgard glasses. I'm this guy. Let me ask you, Chris.
I did take him out of the line up in
(10:59):
a few leagues this week. I know he play seven
games and some deeper like in the main event, I
left him in because it's hard to come across guys
and he plays seven games. But in the one twelve
team league where I owned him, Greg, I actually did
bench him because I gotta see him. I had to
see him do it again in a league that shallow
because I had had another hitter on the bench. Dead
has just been better over let him adjust. Speaking of
players to bench, Chris, there's school starting pitchers have very
(11:22):
tough matchups this week, and we wanted to throw him
out at you and ask you what you would do.
We started with your boy, Joey lu Casey. He's in Colorado.
One start. Will he be in your lineup? No? No,
he hasn't been doing good enough, like really not very
well at all. Uh. And then the kys in the
(11:43):
last start only two k's. You know, at least if
he was keeping it consistent with six around six k's,
you might get some points out of him in the
points league. And I only I don't have him too
many places. But in the points League, I have other
guys got getting two starts, like Chris pack is starting today.
He may get two starts by the end of the week.
So I rather plug him in because he's already he's
pitching better anyway. I picked up de Sclfani in one
(12:05):
place for the two starts in San Francisco, so like,
I'd rather stream somebody like a Sclafani then go at one,
starting Lucazy against Colorado, Like that's just he might get
you four points in a point league. I mean I
was gonna do anything for you. Yeah, outside of and
only Greg, I think that's probably the only place where
I would start him because and only, like anyone who
just has a rotation spot you're getting in your lineup. Look,
(12:26):
if you had the luxury to get him out, sure
try it. But you know, and if even in a
fifteen team mixed, I would I would imagine you have
better options and putting Lucazy in at Colorado, So I
would pretty much try my best Griffin Canning for two
someone else? Yeah, ye, talk about him in the first half.
How about Galito for two in a deeper league? When
I mentioned him in the in the in the first
(12:47):
hour at the end there. He hasn't been good strike
outs out of there though Swinge strike rade is there
and the matchups are not bad, so that's something that
I it's interesting. I don't know if I s percent
It's like lu CAZy nowadays owned pretty high. He's lost
five percentage points of ownership in the last day. We're
(13:08):
in the YAHOO, so some people are starting to drop him.
He does have thirty six strikeouts and thirty six and
he's pitched, so a strikeout for any that's pretty good.
Five e r A one point four or four whip
that's not going to get it done, but at least
the strikeouts are there. Um. It seems like he has
had some tough match up to start the year and
he's already faced Colorado. He faced the Dodgers on Saturday,
He's faced Washington. Um. He has had two starts against
(13:31):
San Francisco. Though a bit of a mixed bag here
for Luke Casey. I think in deeper leagues I would
hold onto him. Oh you mean no, no, no, for
Luke Casey. Um, in deeper leaves, I would hold on
from twelve teamers dropping him. We're getting a little bit
close here, a venture, we're getting a little bit close.
I'm still holding just because listen, I'm gonna keep him
on my bench and then when he does have two starts,
IM throwing him in there. Unless there's two really brutal starts.
(13:55):
And you know, I paid a good price for him,
especially in this league, I'm to hold. I'm not gonna
drop him. He's still young, he could still turn it around,
he could still have a good season by the you know,
the second half. Uh So why would I drop him
for what? What's really out there right now that I'm
really picking up. I already have Griffin Canning, I have Sarocca,
I have the guys you want to pick up right now,
so there's nobody left to pick up for me, and
(14:17):
I have my rotation now pretty established. If you have
a pretty established rotation, you just throw Lucazy in the
back end. He's a back end starter now, and as
he the season goes along, maybe he'll climb him his
way back up to the top of the rotation. But
but now I'm holding, and you know, I'm gonna drop
him unless there's something really special out there that you know,
could help my team, Because I already got those guys,
So Roka and Canning all those guys right now for me, Greg,
(14:38):
I hope you didn't start through Palmer ends anywhere. Is
he's now losing four zip Suarez to run homer in
a Jose Glecias RBI triple, who in the past week
or so is actually not mashing since he reads Greggy
all it's the weather's heat a little bit in Cincinnati,
ball starting to fly out a little bit. You get
the homer from Senzel, you get a homer from a
(14:59):
Hennos Larez. I'm alright, this red lineup is gonna come
around a little bit. And RBI single for Kirk Catali
and thing's not going great for Yeah, you probably dropped.
Oh no, I'm playing Aby Skolfani. My ponent picked him
up for this week, assuming he goes five innings, Greg,
are you gonna get a win? I hate to see
that here he has a five minute, five nothing lead. Yeah,
(15:20):
I hate to see that. Okay, Um, let me go
back now to another picture. I want to ask you
about that. We have the dilemma on here this week, Chris,
and that's Jose Quintana. Okay, Jose Quintana. This week is
in Milwaukee. It was like his teammate is Cole Hamils.
What do you do about Kintana and or coal Hamil's Antana?
(15:42):
You said in Milwaukee, homads Milwaukee, Right, very good lineup.
Christian Elise is back. He's been pitching pretty pretty well
except for the start at Arizona. The Caves have been
down the list two starts for Quintana. So you're saying,
between Quintana against Milwaukee or what was the other one?
(16:03):
What was the Quintana against Milwaukee or his teammate and
his teammate col Hamials against Milwaukee is not of those guys.
That's tough. I don't know if i'd bench Quintana, I
might betch Hamils. Might be Hamils over Quintana. You know
you benched both of them. They're not on the same team.
(16:23):
I'm just asking I might play Quintana. It depends on
what else you got, you know, I would probably do
the Disclafani to start. That's already over now because he's
already starting, right, So, but I would I would have
did that over at Quintana. For one, Quatana is not,
you know, elite or or close to elite. He's he's
having he's been better. Bah, he's been good. He's a
(16:44):
good picture. The thing is it's done so far this year. Man,
he's got three four zero e r A not not bad,
forty forty k's and thirty nine innings pitched the past
two starts. He hasn't been striking guys at But it
will tell you this. I have a twelve team home
league where actually you have benched him, right, I like
in time for the year. But against the Brewers, I
just it's tough. You don't really trust them. The Brewers,
(17:05):
the Astros, the Phillies, the Dodgers. I just try and
avoid those. Obviously in Colorado, I try and avoid those
as much as am. I gonna bench them every single time,
Like no, but I I used Frankie Matas against Cleveland instead,
and I used Aaron Sanchez and Martin Perez two start weeks. Yes,
I would do that too. A break and we'll be

(19:43):
By the way, tickets tonight when every Yankees five books
books tonight? Who are going against the Mariners c versus
King Felix. I feel like I've seen that live many times,
probably have. That's a blasting pass right there. Interesting though,
five dollars five dollar tickets. Take advantage while you can,
man because once Stating is back Judge, I mean, if
(20:03):
they ever all get back once dating Judges back and
all these guys Aaron Higgs and Ded I mean those
tickets are shooting up, gregster back. You're not getting inside
the stadium for less than twenty bucks. I know, take advantage. Now,
what you can. I just don't. I just don't. I
don't like going on weeknights for I like going week
I like going on Fridays because then you don't have
to wake up earlier next day, like you're chilling, like
you don't have to worry about anything. The next day
(20:25):
is a Saturday. It doesn't matter what time you get home.
I like, you know, if you start six starts back,
like the six story start, but like the Saturday matinee
games to like one pm start, like, but it's just
for me living and Queen's getting from the Bronx to
Queens after the game ends, even if it's ten o'clock,
I'm not getting home till like and that's an hour
(20:45):
and a half to get home from from the stadium.
And that's taking public transportation, right yeah, so and if
you drive again about it and then you have to
pay for parking there too, you can pay, Like you know,
you're driving Chris to drive in on Friday night. I happened.
So Christina took the car to go to a friend's
house earlier at like six and she's like, oh, I'll
be back by like eight thirty. I was like all right.
(21:06):
I was like, I'll take the card the so you
actually texted me. So not soon after that, I fell asleep, right,
I passed out on the couch waiting for us. Next
thing I know, I wake up and it's like ten,
ten thirty and she just got home, and I'm like, really,
this is when you get home at that I was like,
I think we were all gone by, right, And I
(21:27):
don't drink, so I'm not gonna take public Like I
don't drink like that, So I'm not gonna take public
transportation to go there and then come home on like
like midnight, you know, on the train. I'd rather drive
and be comfortable. So I was gonna do that if
I left it like eight thirty nine, But when it
was ten thirty, I was like, it's already too late
at this point. By the time I get there, it's
gonna be eleven. They're probably gonna be done Friday night.
(21:50):
That was funny. That was all the Celtics. Bucks was
great because Dane and Frank bet on the first half
Boston minus one, and Boston was up most of the half,
and of course, right when you get to the last
twenty five seconds, Milwaukee hits a shot to get it
within one so now it's a push. Who hit the shot,
(22:11):
it doesn't matter, it's irrelevant story, irrelevant this story. So
somebody is a shot. So now Boston's up once and
right now they're out of push. But it's Boston's ball.
They got fifteen seconds left. They call time out, like,
all right, here we go. You hit a shot, you win.
They don't you push all good shot gets blocked. Milwaukee
brings it down the court five seconds ago. They dish
(22:33):
it out to pat Cottaton who takes the three at
the buzzer. The inted they lose, we missed it and
they want to push it. It was so exciting. I
was like, this is a lot. This is you know,
we should have known. It's just these odds makers are crazy.
It's just they always know. Celtics minus one first half.
I figured, look, they're gonna come out hot. Um their
(22:56):
home they've they've been a great home team all year long.
And you know, I just that's what I get. I
just don't what I've learned. Don't if you live in
New York, just don't bet on Boston teams. Just don't.
I've never won a bet where I've messed with the Patriots,
even betting on them. I've had time to where I
bet on. I bet on the Patriots last year against
the Jaguars. That was the game where we thought the
(23:18):
Jaguars were going back to the Super Bowl because they
the Patriots. That was the game I bet on the Patriots.
The game I bet against the Patriots was Aaron Rodgers
and Green Bay in Foxborough on Sunday night. What happened there?
They sucked, They laid an egg the Packers I had,
Oh my god, it was it was. But if you
did bet the Patriots against the Red Sox last year
(23:40):
in the World Series, I bet on the Dodgers, what happened.
If you live in New York, just don't bet on
Boston sports. Like let's say, if you bet the Patriots
every single game for the last like five ten years,
you'd probably make a ton of money. You're making a
ton of money potently, I mean, but nobody's doing that,
ye especially from New York. Cincinnati Red is gonna Cincinnati
reds Man just just a disaster. Had four outfielders right
(24:03):
going up against Brandon Belt. He manages to hit a
double down the line, and then what happens next He's
on second base, Babbo Standal hits a hot shot grounder
to a handing Suarez. What does Swarrez do has all
the time in the world because the panda's running the seeds.
The first baseman didn't even jump matterious. You know, it's
(24:26):
like they have four out fielders and Brandon Belts still
finds a spot to hit, to hit a double and
then you hit ut Suarrez just airmails one into the seat. Well,
that's so what a disaster. The run is not earned though,
it's not. It's just what's gonna happen next in this game?
Man is bad down. No, let's go here, Greggy. We've
(24:48):
got a few more injured names to talk about. Greg's
out of returning. We kind of talked about mad Olson
being on our team, but we didn't actually like to
give anyone any useful information regarding metals. No, we did not.
We didn't. So let's do that now. If people were
asking us about they should have him on the i L.
Most people the question is do you activate him? He
(25:09):
could potentially be back on Tuesday. We we haven't officially
got that yet, but Bob Melvin indicated over the weekend
that Matt Olson, who's been dealing with the hands your
injury could return from the injured list on Tuesday. I
believe the gentleman that was asking us plays in an
a L only league, So it will obviously depend on
who do you have in there right now. If you
have some slub first basement or utility hitter in there,
(25:32):
and it's just like they're more of a negative contribution
than they are a positive than yeah, I would take
a shot on Matt Olson, put him in my lineup, um,
But overall, I would imagine most people who own mad Olsen,
you've gotten by for now. You probably picked up a
first basement Christian Walker. Yeah, maybe you picked up a
Walker or a Boom Boo man Seni or something like that.
Me personally, I would probably take a patient approach. Let
(25:54):
me see this first week, we still don't know if
he's gonna be activated on Tuesday. I would take a
patient approach when it comes to Matt Olson. And I
know you've waited so long you you're excited about getting
him in there. I would wait and let me see
what he does this first week back returns, and he'll
probably sit out a few games too, because he's just
returning from injury um, so be a similar situation to Otani.
(26:14):
To Greg, what do you do if you want to Otani?
Because he could be back tomorrow as well. I thought
I read Otani was not back tomorrow. I think he
was backpack on this week. Last week there was an
update that he will be back by May seventeenth, and
there was an update to that that said he could
be activated tomorrow. Was I guess? Yeah? So he locked
(26:36):
six more plate appearances and he simulated game on Saturday,
bringing his total up to fifty, and the Rural World
blurb says all signs to point point to Otani being
activated for Tuesday's game against the Tigers. Okay, so similar
to Olson, what do you do you get him in there?
For whatever reason? I'm more likely Olson, I think because
like this has always been the timeline and everything seems
to line up. I do agree. I do agree with you.
(26:58):
If I was gonna start one of these guys, I
think it would go go with Matt Olsen, and I was.
I just said I was taking a patient approach with him,
So that just tells you we're at Matt with Otani. Ext.
I'm not stowing any this week. I think Olsen, you're
gonna be super cautious with him. He's probably not gonna
play every single like for us, like you and I
have a real Olson conversation. Sorry, sucks in that league. Yeah,
(27:18):
we have Yonder Alonzo as our corner infielder right now.
Actually we haven't been at first base. I know we
have Michael Franco as our corner. We have Ronnie Rodriguez
as our utility. He plays seven games this week, so
I'd rather just take a shot on him. At least
you know he's playing every day. Yonder also plays seven
games this week, right, so we're gonna leave the Yeah.
So in this situation, that just tells you how we
(27:38):
feel about Madelson right now, we're really taking a patient approach.
O man, he also seven games. Huh. But Ben Colton wall,
he's terrible, He's not. Why do you seem saying not
bad year he got cool, he got cool man last
Why do you guys keep saying that because he sucks.
But it's bad at ball day was good. You know
(28:00):
you're playing, uh playing a hard hit rate league. But
how about that, I mean, walk great this year you're
saying so you're saying you still wouldn't start. You still
wouldn't start Olson even with Yonder Alonso at first base,
who you gotta say is probably one of the lower
most leagues out there that people are playing. Let's say
they playing twelve teams as a majority. You know, the
(28:22):
worst first baseman in the league is gonna is probably
Olsen on a starting team Yonder Alonso. I'm sorry, So
you're saying even in that situation you wouldn't put Olson in,
so most that means people should probably shouldn't start uson. Yeah,
pretty much, we should wait. And that's basically how I feel.
And I do like him a lot, so you know,
I don't want to come off as like a Matt
Olson hater. I like him a lot, But Yonder Alons,
(28:44):
I mean, this is one of these guys all year
long that it seems like he's been a little bit unlucky.
He's batting one seventy three on the year he's expected
batting everyone is two fifty four. So I don't want
to miss out on that positive regression when it happens,
and he plays seven games still putting the ball in
the air, lot actually hitting the ball hard. Of this year,
he's got a forty six percent hard hit rate. I
think Yonder Long has been a little bit unlucky, and
(29:04):
the fact that he plays seven games, I think just
pushes it a little bit over the edge. You know,
you just look at the one. Seventy three doesn't look good.
It doesn't look good. It's very well turn that around.
Seventeen walks, it's twenty two strikeouts. The plate discipline hasn't
been terrible. Me personally, I would say Yonder Alonzo over medals,
you get a guaranteed seven games, right, That's why. Because
(29:24):
also might he'll be lucky if he plays three games
in the week. Do you have six games this week
if he gets activated tomorrow, I would I would think
he probably plays three or four. He might sit out
like one or two games this week, so you don't
want that. And also one of the funkiest batting stances too,
if you've ever watched medals, like holds the bat out
(29:45):
here like this, very very awkward to one his bombs.
So you know the Giants starting left fielders today, that
would be uh Stephen Dugger. Uh oh. I feel like
I saw this guy's name the other day and I
was like, I never heard of this guy, never read
(30:06):
the box. It must be an interesting life for you.
If your last name is Gerber, Yeah, I would, yeah,
it would, just I would make so many jokes to
this guy that's been three outfielders. Now the Giants are
started that I've never heard of my life. Joe Like Ford,
is that his name? Like Yankee? I don't even remember
who the other guy was that we were talking about.
(30:27):
It was a very plain name. Opening day. It was.
It was just it was like Michael Reid or something. Yeah,
that was it was. It's crazy, was like the Yankees
are doing the same thing when you have a lot
of with Mike Tukman and Mike Ford. That's true, right,
Like we're just bashing San Francisco. But like the past month,
the Yankees lineup is talk. They started this season, but
(30:49):
they started the season what works the outfield is and
they have now because they also got in the trade
Kevin Plaw So they were worse than this. We started
this season with a pretty decent offensive outfield at least.
Now it just you know, it fell by the wayside. Yeah,
you're coming around a little bit for the Giants to grade.
It was eyeball on him a little bit and some
fifteen teamers and only Stephen Douggers should be let's kind
(31:12):
of throw him out there because he's he's been in
the lineup the past couple of days or so the
past week. Another person dealing with an injury. We had
a few. Uh of course, we always have injuries, but
we have guys that are like kind of dinged up
and you don't know whether to put them in your
lineup or not. About Lorenzo Caine, what are you doing
with Lorenzo Caine this week? Because just another victim of
(31:33):
getting hit by hit by a pitch on your hands.
So he they've already come out and said he will
not be in the lineup tonight. But the Brewers do
play seven games this week. So even if he's not
in the line of tonight, if he plays tomorrow and
they play six games leading off a really good lineup,
you probably want Lorenzo Caine in there. In a five
(31:53):
out of the league, I'm leaving him in there. But
I actually have a home league where I had Freemancini
on the bench, and I took the more cautious approach.
I just put Mancini in there because I know he's
gonna play. I know he's not gonna miss games. Well,
he was school games obviously las because because he was
he got hurt as well. School games last week. Yeah,
I think he got hit on the hands too. But
(32:14):
like Mancini, didn't perform last week. But at least I
know he's gonna play, So it's Haynes is supposed to
be back tomorrow. It's more so in points leagues, where
I just I never really want to risk getting a
zero and line up in a points league. It's just
so it's about quantity. Yeah, you want the game volume.
You want guys who were gonna play. And Lorenzo Caine
when he plays, he's still really good. They said he's
gonna he should be back tomorrow. Does that mean this
(32:36):
has happened way too often where they say, all right,
a guy is gonna be back. What happ't Anthony barn done? Yeah,
it should be in the lineup. Next thing, you know,
he's out for a week and then he lands on
the I light. So when especially when it comes to
points leagues, I just want guys that I actually know
are gonna play and definitely gonna be a guaranteed. In
the five avular league, I would leave Lorenzo Caine in there.
But if you have a better option, you know, a
(32:57):
guy's definitely gonna play. And I think I again, I
just tend to take a little bit more cautious approaches
when it comes to these, right right. What about Okay, so,
but Kane might be back tomorrow. That's a tough one.
Like Olsen is easing easy the lineup blocks tonight, and
you know he's not going to be in the lineup,
so you gotta make your decision today. Like if I
had a week outfield, I'd probably plugged Cane in banking
(33:18):
on that he starts tomorrow. Yeah, I mean I can't.
I can't really blame you for that. What about a Well,
I saw something recently about a Kuna, you know, he
was banged up and stuff. I don't know if like
he's coming back right away or not. What's his deal?
I see day to day right now with him mostly
Chris Davis too saves with a k Yeah. He uh.
He was playing the outfield this week and because they
were in Pittsburgh so they didn't have the designators, and
(33:41):
he caught a ball in foul territory, but he was
running and he ran into like the side of the
barricade and he kind of heart his hip. So another
guy who is day today, Ronald un was not in
the lineup last night, not last night right because he
was dealing with a lower back from Saturday, so he's
considered day to day. I don't know, you weekly this
is a good call. It's another one of those situations
(34:02):
where the next thing you know, the guy could be
out a couple of days. The only thing is Ronal
Lacuna has higher upside movie, so you're almost leaving him
in your first round pick. So unless he's like on
the I L I'm probably just gonna leave Ronald Lacune
in my lineup. Reything about Chris Davis with a K, Yeah,
I I don't know. I have to do more research
(34:23):
into him. Hotly, I don't have any shares of Chris
Ris Davis would kay, so I haven't actually hadn't make
this decision. I brought up Lorenzo Kine because I actually
had to make that decision, and I put train Mancene
in my line up. Chris Davis said after Sunday's game
that he expects to return to the line up on
Tuesday dealing with a hip injury, So probably Chris Davison
there pretty possible, and they are. They're back in the
(34:43):
aisle on Tuesday. Uh, let's see they are because h fine, Yeah,
they have six game, six home games this week, right,
he'll he'll be fine. There was someone else I saw
that was day to day. Oh Bellinger, Yeah, Balinger dealing
with a shoulder issue. Like you just I mean, you
(35:04):
gotta leave him in there, right, I mean, let's unless
we get news tonight that like he's not going to
be in the lineup and he's not gonna play like that.
This is a situation to pay attention to. But with
what he's doing right now, he's like, well the last
two days, he he only had one at back the
last two games. So that dealing with a little annoying
little dinged up here, right, he has shoulder discomfort. I
(35:27):
would think he's a pinch hitter on Sunday, right, So
that's a good sign. I guess that he's played at
least he could swing the bat. I guess you gotta
leave him in. Luckily, I have him in a daily league,
not a weekly A lot easier obviously, um, but people
out there definitely haven't been weeklies, and it's tough to
(35:47):
make that decide and and the game is on the
West Coast tonight too, so it's at ten o'clock game,
so you probably won't have that line up until you know,
five six o'clock maybe for Lucky Um, but I would
say unless we get more information at like he's gonna
be out a couple of days or he's really dealing
with something here, I probably it's just the way he's
(36:07):
been playing. It's it's hard to hard to pench him. Greg.
He's right now like one of the best players in league. Basically, Yeah,
it's like him him versus Christian Yelich for the for
the n l m V peak for the first month
of the the season and sends the homeward again. Really yeah,
sends nice to see a bunch of prospects performing except
for one hours. Yea ours, Yeah, we owed him own
new Carter Keybom. I think I have like three or
(36:31):
four shares of Carter Key Boom. That sucks. Yeah, throw
another situation your way. How Ronald Guzman could be activated
Tuesday for Texas? What are we doing with Danny? Is
this the end? I don't think so. I don't know
if that it is. Man, he's remained hot. I mean,
(36:51):
he just could. He could be a super utility guy. Hey,
we'll give the We'll give the Shields a day off. Here,
We'll give Chew a day off. Here, we give Mazzara
day off against lefty because Danny Santana is a switch
hitter on days off. Againto left door. Of course, I
wouldn't drop Danny Santana yet either. Yeah, but this is
something that I do want to pay attention to. I
(37:11):
looked over the weekend. He played two out of three
games for them. He's been mostly in the lineup. Why
would right? Why would go? Is glose mind just much
better defensively? Is that the reason why? Because golose Mon
is not a good hitter? Not, he's not. He doesn't
have some cot be, he doesn't have some pop right,
But Santana's obviously a much more like Santana. For now,
(37:35):
let's say a break to that. Let's rap on the show.

My head was in listen to waves, it's the best,

over the weekend. I read over the weekend that parks
have to have certain dimensions now where how far the
walls have to be. So for the Yankees, who obviously
right for the port three fourteen, which is real short,
incredibly short, they had to get special permission we're building
the stadium for MLB to get a waiver to leave
it at three fourteen. I always kind of thought, how
(41:56):
did it work when building, because I mean, if you
have you've ever seen like the drawings of like all
the outlines and they show it's like an overlay. It's
it's really awesome on Twitter before where they basically do
the outline of every stadium and everything looks like every
looks different. Really really do but mention what there? You know,
what what what kind of qualifications or whatever. Back in
(42:17):
the days, the polo grounds will like down the line
was like hundred was like two hundred some feet, like
very short down the line, and center field was like
five feet away. It was like a huge diamond. You know,
it was crazy. But that obviously was before they had
these dimension parameters or whatever, no doubt, right, So because
now I would think you need to have it at
(42:38):
least three hundred and fifteen feet down the line or
or further right, because otherwise it's it's way too small.
By the way, you can catch Make It Rain with
Joan day weekday mornings six and m Eastern right here
on fn T s hy as he caught up on
all the previous night's action and prep for the sports
wagering day ahead. You can watch the broadcasting and you
participate in the chat or watching pariscope, Twitch or cales
(42:58):
other o GT platforms because a part of the show
and sing over your entertainment, the knowledge the extra money'll
put in your pockets. Let's Make It Rain with Joe
and Dane. We did mornings or six to nine am
Eastern only on f T s Y. There you go. Um.
By the way, after the show, guys, we gotta get
the battery that the guys are building outside. We gotta
put it in that corner and we'll take it down,
put it up. We're gonna transport that. That's what I
(43:19):
started thinking. I don't think it's gonna fit in an elevator.
It's very big. Well, did I told him not to
put the thing on, because just put the thing the
holes you'll think me transfer that and the elevator the poles. Well,
we're gonna find out. Yeah, we're gonna have a new
set over there. Yeah, my thought was kind of on
this one. I'll leave that. I kind of want to
move it over to put it back to back maybe
(43:40):
like that. It might be a little bit too cluttery. Alright,
so move that. So move that over here or something. Yeah,
just spitballing right now. Yeah, that's a good idea. Yeah,
we think that could be cool. We gotta do that.
We gotta do that the afternoon. So yeah, we gotta
we got something to the chat here. So bastard Anderson says,
see bass treated Max hers Are and Edwin Incarnacion, Chris
(44:02):
Sale and Joey Gallo. There's interesting trade take on a
little bit of risk here, well, a decent amount of risk.
I don't like that. I don't like that Sale. But
Joey Gallo is considerably better than Edwin and Cassio? Is
he considerably considerably? Doesn't he have like he's a monster?
(44:23):
Doesn't Edwin? Yes, he definitely has more home runs? And
I agree with that. All right. So Joey Gallo in
the year, he's got eleven bombs and twenty six, yes,
twenty score ten homers. He's got one more homer, He's
got three more rb I and one more run scored,
So I would not say significantly any means slightly to
(44:44):
one for Eddie to seventy for Joey Yellow, I'm sure
drop that will flip flop almost basically babb it for
joe yallows three for Eddie is two thirty one, so
those are normalized. So good dream of the guy getting
exactly how many books does gallow? Yeah, he's excellent. He's
ob ps is it four thirteens at three seventy three?
(45:10):
Also massive walk crazy? Yeah, definitely, Yeah, that's yeah, they're
a little bit closer than I thought. Nasi and joe
very close. Like every time you look up Joey Gallas
at a Boscarassi owned lately veteran, he just keeps getting
it done, all right. Yeah, yeah, I do agree with
you guys, and I'd rather have ye huge. Sorry, but
(45:31):
hey man, we're we're speaking honestly with you, telling the truth.
You know what, somebody used to say this. It might
have been Ronus. He used to always say, I don't
know you don't me know who it was great, I
believe it someone who used to do the morning show
We haul in and ask us before you do the trade.
Don't ask us, hey, what do you think about this?
Afterwards ask us, hey should I do this trade beforehand?
(45:54):
And then we'll do what we just did. We'll talk
about it, figure it out, let you know our thoughts,
not that you do a trade, and then afterwards we're
just like might have been. Actually is the best pitch
in the league. I mean, you really don't want to
give my slush for a guy who's been doing so badly.
I know, but surs there might be a good bye
low right now because people see the surface stats and
(46:15):
like he's the r has been great to start the year,
but all the underlying numbers for sure, as there are,
he's gonna be just fine. Yeah, whereas sale scary even
though the huts have been coming around a little bit. So, yeah,
here's what I was talking about. You got a four
zero eight e R a venture. He's got a to
six six exfit is left on base forcentage is sixty
(46:38):
five percent in his career, it's seventy six. Yeah, that's
definitely going. Yeah, he's got a three seventy seven babbit
right now to eighty nine for his career. So he's
just he's giving up a lot more hits than usual,
probably defenses, and then it's gonna come down a little bit,
and then, uh, the defense is making error. We're just
gonna blame everything on Carter Keyban and then his left
(47:00):
on basics is just considerably lower than where it's been
at the past couple of years. Better day. He's coming
from Max Scherzer and obviously sales doing better too, but
better than he was. Anything was better than he was
at the beginning of you. But he's getting case ten,
case eight, case ten case. That's good the view o.
It's still fluctuating, but right he's pitching through right now
(47:20):
all is better for sale, but still not as good
as Max. Right, so the trade for sers was better.
What is he got? Grey? What else do I have? Like?
What else is he got else he has? I know? Um?
What else do I have? I lost what I had
(47:40):
to be Honestly, the Reds are about to blow up
this game. It's blown up. It's seven one. I read
a really interesting article today I wanted to bring up
to you guys. Actually, no no deal, care or not.
I thought it was interesting in Athletic, really long form
article in The Athletic about Gary Denmo who is Jeter's
(48:00):
right hand man and form hitting coach for the Yankees
and basically at the biggest a hole ever. And now
that they don't blame Jeter for things, but this guy
just hates overweight people. And he basically would come into
his room and be like, you, guys, don't go to
the gym enough, you're fired? What? Yeah? That even no,
but he did it. That was as like a front
(48:22):
office executive of the Marlins. Yes, he's been doing that. Yes,
that's crazy. How is that allowed? I don't know. He
just thinks people are overweight. They don't. He doesn't like them.
He's not wrong about do you have to eat better
to go to the gym? And he treats you differently
than he treats people that are of shape. Well, that's
that's not good. I mean, look, we're not the most
(48:42):
in shape guys here. Venture is probably the most in
shape out of all shape I mean not really, you know,
hold myself to high standards, Greg, But regardless, who were
we though? Were we to judge? You know, like it's
like playing god kind of. You know. That's like if
people want to be fat, letting be fat? Yeah, what
is he gonna do? Like? Um, you know, if he
had Hey sus Agila on his team. You know, let's say,
(49:05):
because if you can't overweight. Yeah, I don't know. I
want to run down the Marlins players and see if
we can find any fatties on there. Borrow Farrow is
a little chunky. Yeah, that's true. So they traded for
him too. He was in the background town Jeter, don't
trade for this game? He was. Then he was like
all these prospects, Like I told you not to think
by fat prospects the article. I don't think it's crazy.
(49:25):
They like six those sanswees. Seems like he's in pretty good.
Flo fled Guerrero is not on his list of top
he would like, we're not trading for him. No, So
the whole point of story was like a lot of
people really like Gary Demo. If you think he does
a really good job, but he's an a hole. Sounds like, well,
I'm sure he's growing up and down their lineup. Hoo.
Farrow probably the only guy who's a little what are
(49:47):
the pitching stand They any fat pictures? Maybe that's why
they traded Awa. Kyle Barraclos do fat. I don't think
babol Lopez is in good shape, say Katar is in
good shape. Yeah, they're all pretty you know, these guys
are all pretty good. Caleb Smith, Caleb Smith, gentlemen, that
Caleb Smith has a little bit it's some baby fat
on him. That he said that, like people came to
camp this year. Last year it was like a prospect.
(50:08):
He in camp and he goes, so you think you're
in shape? He was like six ft two hundred pounds.
You know, I think it would be better shape. But yeah,
I'm I'm in shape. Start, I'm ready to work. They
told you to be in shape, and they released a
three weeks later. O my god, through one time. What
do you want these guys to all look like? You know,
(50:28):
that's not that bad. You want to be like a
Greek sculpture or something. Does everyone have to have a
you know, six packer. That would be I would say
that's a little bit over the average six. Wait and
the guy was saying and he sounded like he said
the right thing. Like he sounded like he said, I'm
I'm in fine shape. I can get better. I'll work
at it all. You know, work hard. Matter that I
(50:49):
told you, Well, if he told you something, you gotta
listen yeah, technically that's your boss, right. You gotta listen.
Smike Cornando came in here and said, Greg, I'm gonna
give you six months to get a six pack. You're fired.
I think Greg's probably gonna get five six months to
get a six that's tough. I'll buy Mysel'll go to
the story in a six pack right now. Ye wait,
(51:11):
a bunch of those on on Friday. No, I mean
six months. Actually, you get a six pack and six
that's all you dude. You know how hard it is
to get a six pack if you don't already have one, Like,
if you're not like just naturally have one. That's what
Me and Greg don't have them. I don't either. I mean,
you know, you're probably the closest. I mean I have
like a four pack. You know, you gotta pack. I
got no packs. I got one. Me and Greg we
(51:31):
have like little uh you know, like Heineken, uh, little
Hieken mini cakes. That's what we get. That. That's not
bad though, I mean you have a little so everybody
has a little something, right, that's a little something, A
little that's so hard to burn off because you cannot
eat anything fatty really at all. A whole month of
no carbs lost not a weight before. I lost twelve
pounds in a month. Did you lose there? Yeah, a
little bit when I when I put my jeans on,
(51:53):
actually notice, I was like this, it's kind of weird.
It's crazy. Have kept it off. No, terrible job. So
all the pounds that you lost your game back? Uh no,
not all of them. You know, I'm kind of I
met back in the middle. I lost like, okayounds, that's
not at all. I'm kind of mad at myself. You know,
(52:17):
obviously all the drinking we're doing, and then you come
home at late at night, you're hungry, strunk, and you're like,
I gotta eat something. Well, you're ridiculous. We went to
the egg game. We had a monster like chicken figure
thing and even back I had another meal. What it
was not that that night? Oh no, it was different night. Now,
this guy started out to be like there was a
different there was a different night. There was a different
(52:38):
nights that we hung. Oh it was a GD draft
where we sat and I was like starving and I
ordered food we had let me shared maybe an advertised
advertising and I had like dinner and Freq went home
and like what a go in the morning of the
eight dinner. But I was drinking. That's why I met.
You could have eate with me like at eight o'clock
and then you diected. I was to the auction. I
(53:01):
was really into it. I was like, I can't go
on the auction right now. There's too much going on.
That's true, So I gotta understand what I do. I
got street me and like chicken over right, eating that
at one I am not good. Yeah, you wake up
the next day you feel like banged up a pretty much.
I feel I'm not I'm not healthy. I don't know
(53:23):
what's going on. Man to the doctor. Drinking is not
gonna help. Then I didn't accept that. My still makes
me a little messed up over the last couple of days. Yeah, yeah,
I'm not the normal ballance schedule I'm used to. It's
not going as normal. You really have to eat some
funky stuff when you go home, Greg, because I see
you coming here every day. You eat a salad, fresh healthy,
(53:46):
But you know what Greg eats pretty healthy here? Yeah,
I'm like, all right, well, I don't know what he does. Know,
you know, basically, what you do when you go home
is just what I do for every meal, right, but
I try to limited to one meal, like a minimum.
You should probably be like three pounds. You're not the
basketball and stuff. We got a little lucky. Maybe I
(54:07):
will play tonight. You stay active, you'll be all right.
You could eat, you know, you try and walk a
little bit. I would like to go jogging. It hasn't
been warm enough yet. Today is supposed to be nice.
Tomorrow is gonna be like fifty and rain again. No, no, no,
that's tomorrows like the seventies. Really, Wednesday was fifty. No,
we're getting We're getting one of these days soon. Here
we go Thursday. This is New York right now. Tuesday seventy,
(54:31):
Wednesday sixty seven, Thursday fifty five, Friday sixty nine. Yep, nice,
this is the come on, man, it's like because there's
no seventy degrees every day now I think it's May.
There's no spring anymore. We're passing. We go from a
winter to this like transition period where we're going from
like fifty degrees to seventy back to fifty, and then
all of a sudden you're in summer. All of a sudden,
(54:52):
you're gonna see it's gonna be like seventies eighty degrees.
I woke up feeling kind of creepy. Today. I sleep
with the window open to try and get some ventilation
in my house. This is this is how people get sick. Yeah,
I woke up feeling you know, I feel like I'm
getting head cold. Now, what's going on? Yeah, when I
put on a heater, it happens to me. To New York.
You can make it here. You can make it anywhere.
(55:14):
Concrete jungle, Greg, that is true. But there is a
lot of opportunity in New York. There's a lot of
people living here. Yeah, it's dirty. I gotta get out
of here. It's dirty. I'm going. I'm moving back to

like to go, Greg, Oh, the real one. Yeah, which
