Ladies and gentlemen, you are now listen to the Fantasy
Baseball I admit I don't look like Dad's leader today.
Supposed to look my bedst just a little big. Mine
(00:42):
is just a little big. But brother, I am bad
and they know I'm bad. Brother action grade. I'm a framed.
If you get get, I went to get and I
look to it. Lady, that evening follow inside, don't know. Hey,
(01:04):
what's up everybody, and welcome to the Fantasy Baseball Hour
with the Match Striker and Mike the Rhoto Cop. We
have a great episode of the Fantasy Baseball Hour for
you this week as our very own Michael the Rhodo
Cops sits down with Colin Weatherwax and that's a great
get by Mikey and these guys, honestly, get your pads
and your pens out when we get to this particular segment,
(01:27):
because you're gonna have to go back and listen to
it at least two times. There are so many good
names and stats dropped in this conversation that I feel
like if there were almost two dozen names mentioned here
with with proof of concepts, so to speak, like why
did they like them? Here's why I like this guy.
If if you grab one, you grab two across any
(01:50):
of your leagues, I feel like you have a distinct
advantage over anyone else because they were just names that
would dropped here. That again, like someone says, hey, I
have a baseball scoop for you, and they say, you know,
j Le Mayhew, it's very good, and no one thought
he'd be like, if you're not telling me anything, I
don't know. But Mike and Colin really break down some
good stuff and they tell you a lot of things
(02:11):
that you don't know. At least I feel like I
don't know. It's uh, almost the first week of July,
and this is where I start to assess my teams
just as a GM, so I have seven working teams
right now. But there is one team that's just driving
me nuts. It's a twelve team league. This team is
mired in ten place, eight hundred points out of first,
(02:36):
but between first and second is a hundred points. So
I look at that that a hundred points is a game.
Therefore I am eight games out of first? How many
games out of the money? Third place? Is? Wow? Third
place is only a hundred and ten points? Yeah, man,
I am. I'm eight games, seven games out of the money.
(02:56):
So obviously I'm not going to just tank this team.
I think that I'm definitely within striking distance, and it's
not even July. But what I wanted to do here
is talk to the people out there that have these
teams that are sitting in ten, eleven, twelfth place. The
first thing you do is do what I just did
right there. I think is that you look at the
distance between first and second, and based off of that number,
(03:17):
look into the screen second and third. You can start
to assess how many points essentially equates to a game.
So in that league, there was a hundred points from
first to second. Did you figure hundred points is a game?
May maybe see eighty points of games? So if you're
eight hundred points out, that sounds terrible, But if you're
seven and a half games out, that sounds far more manageable.
(03:38):
So I think you need to look at a lot
of your leagues and begin to assess where you are
right here, coming up in July. Most leagues, third place
gets you in the money. I would not be tanking
or selling or giving up. I'm trying to retool and
make this team better. That's what this is about here.
(03:59):
It's about can get your team and saying how can
I make them better? So let me look at this
team that I have here in tenth place of a
twelve team points league, and here's my team. Wilson, Ramos,
Paul gold Schmidt, Jose l two Bay. So right there,
those first two out of three Goldschman has been under achieving.
How two Day has been hurt? Uh? Ramos is whatever?
(04:20):
Dickerson profar, I'm at Rosario, Domingo Santana, Austin Riley, Elo, Jimnez,
Matt Olson, Fernando Tatis, Nick Senzel and Channagher on the
d L Kyle Tucker stashed. So, uh, it's definitely not
a bad line up. There are some some moves that
can be made. I often like to look at last
(04:41):
thirty days. That's my best gauge of fourteen days things
can happen. Seven days is just I got lucky. So
I look at thirty days, and honestly, there's no one
I'd really move here. I mean Drickerson profar. The only
thing keeping him on my team right now is his
position eligibility. He's like or position eligible. So beyond that,
(05:02):
there's really no offensive roster moves that that I am
gonna that I'm gonna make here. So let me go
down and look at my pitching. So what I've done
here is I have taken guys that have sp r
P qualification. I've thrown them in the starting pitcher slot.
So a guy like Josh James and John Gant are
(05:23):
out there every single day for me. This team, this
league has an innings limit. This team is a hundred
and eight innings below. I have a hundred eight innings
in the bank. So again, being eight games out a
hundred eight innings in pocket, I'm not worried. It's gonna
be a fun league and I'm gonna feel like King
Ship when when I win this league, or at least
(05:44):
placing the money. I might even change my team name
to make a passive aggressive gesture towards the rest of
the league, because I'm petty that way. So yeah, Liam
Hendricks just went out and grabbed him. Josh James Walker, Bueller,
Franber Valdez just got sent down as of this discussion.
So I'm gonna look and tell you what I did
(06:04):
with him in a minute. Jimmy Nelson, Roberto Sona, Brandon Woodruffe,
Trevor Bauer, match Stram, Kirby H, John Gant, j Hop
like tryn in who I'm gonna have to do? I mean,
he's done the d L, but I don't think I'm
gonna see me. Louis Savarina, who I've I've held on
to Um going down my pitching here. Jimmy Nelson just
hasn't had a chance yet. Roberto Sooner, you know, great fine,
(06:26):
Brandon Woodroffe has been my stud. Trevor Bauers showing up,
Match Dram, showing up, Kirby H showing up. Um. I mean,
Jay Hop, do you do you dangle him away? Um?
As far as what I did with Framber, I want
to name. I want to name be named Framber. I
want you to only call me Framber from now on. Hello, Framber,
(06:46):
I turned Framber into Oh, I have a waiver claim
in somebody had drop d D Gregorious, So I have
a waiver claim in Framberg for d D. If I
get that, I think I win out of nowhere. I
grab ded in any event. So this is this team.
It's not a bad team. I I am lacking a
(07:07):
I was gonna say an a starter, but I'm really not.
Trevor Bowers, my Ace daughter, my Ace closer, and the Kirby.
There's no reason this team should be intent place. I
want to look at the team that is in first
place in this league and let's try to see if
we can't get a glimmer of hope and some insight here.
So the team that's in first place has no catcher.
(07:29):
Freddie Freeman, Glabar Toros, Raphael Dever's, Elvis Andrews, Mookie Betts,
Starling Marte, David Fletcher, Eddie Rozario, Jose bre You, Jacques Peterson,
Chris Crushed Davis As, Drew Cabrera justin smoke, and Isaiah
kind of flaa. That is not a monstrous Oh my god,
(07:50):
I'm afraid of you. Team. But when you look at it,
I should punch myself in the face because Freddie Freeman, Glambartris,
Raphael devi Is, Elvis Andrews, Mookie Bett, Staling Monte are
all well over a hundred points over the last thirty days.
It's got a bunch of guys in the high nineties. Yeah,
I should shut my whole face. I wish I had
(08:13):
this team. Um and his pitching, his Carlos Martinez, Matthew Boyd,
Massierro Tanaka, Kyle Gibson, Tanner row Art, Josh Hayder, Hector Naris,
John Gray Sonny Gray, Cole Hamile's Marcus Stroman, Mike Clevinger,
and Luke Weaver who's doing it on his pitching Cole
Hamile's John grow who's doing it Matthew Boyd. Again, I'm
(08:37):
very confused. They might be something I'm missing in the
in the scoring settings of this league. But I just
read you my two the two teams one first place
mine and and one my team, and it should be
that way around. Like I'm just something does not add
up in my in my brain. Let me look at
the league scoring and maybe you can hit me up
(08:57):
on Twitter and uh tell me what I'm sing. Tell
me I'm an idiot at Fantasy b b our at
Matt underscore striker underscore Michael probably yell at me and
tell me I'm gonna forget. So there you gotta forget,
dick Um. Yeah. Man, it's two points for a run,
one point for a single, two points for a double,
four points or home run, two for a ribby, two
(09:18):
for a stolen base, two for an intentional walk. I mean,
I want guys with doubles, home runs, and guys that
steal bases. I guess the pitching a winness five points,
save five a complete game, which doesn't happen anymore. Yeah, no,
there's listen. I can't figure out this league, but for me, Um,
(09:42):
coming up on July one, Um eight games out, a
manageable eight games. I have innings in hand based off
my knowledge, this is a good baseball team. Would you
like to look at the current waiver wire? I will
do that with you, just because you know, I feel
like I feel like we've revolved that. So here we go.
(10:04):
I'm gonna go last thirty days. I'm gonna show my team.
I'm gonna go all batters. So that's what I'm doing
here on the Yahoo League and here we go. So
I'm going by fan points. Todd Fraser, Garrett Cooper, and
Ramon Loriana, who I had and dropped, all have more
points than my first guy. And my first guy is
(10:26):
Austin Riley with one eleven Todd Fraser's one one, so
only twenty points am I missing out on overall? And
I would not mind grabbing Ramone Loriano somewhere an event. Uh.
Then I feel like I had Jeff McNeil and dropped
him to he's the next free agent with points more
than the guys on my team. Jackie Bradley Jr. Christian Walker,
(10:48):
who now that Jake Lamb is coming off that he's
doing well in rehab. I don't know where Walker is
gonna play, but whatever, Uh, Kyle Schwarber, Colin Moran, Brian Anderson,
Brian Reynolds, Eric so are At Oscar Mercado I wouldn't
mind having on my team. These are all guys that
have more points than guys on my team. Space stout
(11:08):
so to speak, Cavin Bizio, who I have in another league,
Danny Santana who's getting hot and has three position eligibility.
Don't sleep on on Texas. Yeah, so, I mean I
could make what two moves, but I would want to
I'd rather try to work trades than than just drop, uh, anybody,
(11:32):
to be honest with you, anybody at least in my
in my first tier. So yeah, that's what you do. Man.
You're look and you see, uh, how many innings do
you have? Because those are weapons. Look at your team,
see who's performing, who's underperforming, Ask yourself if you want
to part with them, Look at the waiver wire, form
a plan, and then see how many points distance is
(11:54):
the one team from another and things like that. And
if this is attainable, and if you want to focus
the time and energy, you easily can pull a team
out from the depths of despair. And nothing feels better
than seeing, you know, my team was in tenth place
at the end of June. Here I am in August,
and I just moved into third or second even. You know,
(12:15):
it's really fun and that's why fantasy baseball is so great.
And another reason why fantasy baseball is so great because
there are people out there like Colin weather Wax and
I'll let might tell you more about them. But this
is just just a special person having the passion and
love of sports, but of baseball and being able to
to make it something that enriches other people's lives. That
(12:38):
to me is the true mark of of a professional.
And you know, you hear on this show things like
picture List and and and all these and these other
kind of like sites. Go check them out. They're written
by people that are truly passionate about sports. And one
of those guys a guy in Colin Weather. We actually
(12:59):
find him at sea Weather Wax thirteen. Mike and Collins
sat down and they just man, they gave you like,
is is it sustainable? Which is where guys that are
playing a little bit over their head, Mike and Colin breakdown.
If these guys are gonna keep doing it? Are these
guys should go out and pick up on your waiver wire.
Two days after you get him, he's gonna cool off.
(13:20):
Another thing the waiver wire also, which I think is
just it's so valuable to have someone as passionate and
knowledgeable as Colin and someone as absolutely obsessive as Mike is.
I love him to death, but if he does not
know someone's like Whoebike, he loses his mind. He bites
his nails down to his commuticles. I'm sorry, but I
(13:42):
guess that's what makes him so great. So here is
the Greatness the Mad Scientist himself, my good buddy, Mike
the Rhodocop, alongside Colin weather Wax. Thanks for the introduction, Matt.
(14:10):
That was very kind of your nice words. Colin Weatherwax
joins us, like Matt said, Colin Weatherwax at Sea Weatherwax
thirteen on Twitter, the newest member of Picture List and
the q B List at Fantasy Benefits and Mr Main
Inventor himself. Colin, how are you doing great, Mike? Thanks
to ure. I think that's a little bit better than Mats.
(14:31):
I appreciate it. So we brought you on knowing our
history together at Fantasy Benefits with Randy Haynes, who probably
a little upset, but we'll get him on a show
soon too. So there's a couple of things I wanted
to talk about, But the first thing I want to
talk about is how you got pasted today in our
Fantasy Benefits Main Event qualifier. First time all season you
(14:51):
got past. Yeah, it didn't last very long, Bradley Newman.
I see you've down there creeping. I still have a
point five point le lead, and like you said, I've
held the lead from from the get go. Uh, and
I plan on doing so the rest of the year.
So I hope you enjoyed your slight taste of victory, Bradley,
because it's not gonna happen. So Colin has been leading
(15:13):
the season since the first pitch of the season, which
is actually unheard of. Technically, I guess we could say
there hasn't been a night where you haven't been leading
as long as you hold onto this half a point
lead tonight. So for everybody's say, hopefully Bradley makes a
push here at the at the end of the night. Here, Um,
I wanted to talk to you about a couple of
things that are going on now in Major League Baseball.
(15:34):
We're recording this on Wednesday. So Rosario left the game
today with an apparent leg injury. And you said you
saw the play at the Rosario, Yeah, it didn't look
too good. Um. You know, he was rounding first, trying
to get a hustle double. Um, and it looked like,
just from my eyes, he might have hyper extended his knee.
But um, he kind of stumbled a little bit, didn't
(15:57):
fall flat on his face. He through his helme and
discussed as soon as he reached second base, and then
he was taking right off the field. So hopefully you
know he's not out for very long because he's been
really great for everyone that drafted him this year. Yeah,
he has been awesome. A couple of other things in
the news, John Carlos Stanton, he is back on the
injured list, which is no good for my NFBC share
(16:19):
of him and your draft championshare. I paired him with
Trade Turner, and like I told Colin all Fair, I
was expecting fifty stolen bases and fifty home runs and
I was scratching that on paper. But apparently I was
completely wrong about that. Craig Kimberroll likely to be activated
on Thursdays. Um, Mike Minor through a complete game. He's
(16:43):
having a ridiculous season. He has the league lead in
the year. I know him and Charlie Martin were close. Uh,
he's one of your guys in Texas. Collins a Texas
Rangers fan. Willie Calhoun also home in and double today.
Texas Rangers have really uh put a foot in my
mouth and saying that I was gonna win that bet
before the season before the season, we had a T
shirt bet me Colin and Randy Haines from Fantasy Friends
(17:04):
and Fantasy Benefits on which team will finish with the
best record based on the Pakoda standings. Did I explain
that correctly? Yeah? Yeah, But Pacoda projections before the season
is kind of like, uh, the Orioles were like plus
fifty six or something like that to catch the Mariners
at that point. But it's it's not fair to just
(17:26):
do like a win per per ten, so you have
to give her Randy like an eight eighty wind handicap
or something. So Texas obviously has been a surprised team
out of the three. So it looks like Colin's gonna
run away with with the new pitcher list T shirt
or I don't know what kind of T shirt you want.
You have a couple of months to think about it.
Um Liam Hendrix gets to save. We'll get into that
(17:46):
when we talk closers Mets bloat again. J Bruce is
the is the guy that does it to him this time,
which hurts a little bit extra because of his time
in New York. Craig Stammon gotta save with herby it's unavailable.
Your astro stack didn't work out too well. Uh, you
know what, Al two they just single Bregman just doubled um,
so you know there might still be drowned in the
(18:08):
bottom of the eight. So um. One thing me and
Matt like to do on the show was talk about
guys and what there, how they're playing right now and
if it's sustainable, because that's such a big thing in fantasy.
Do you think somebody's gonna keep it up? You by
low bylow so high on some guys. Uh. One guy
I want to talk about was Carlos Santana, who's having
a monster season. He's in two eighteen homers, forty RBIs
(18:30):
entering the day. He even has three swipes on me here,
which pretty funny. So he's at two forty three. Is
this sustainable for Carlos Santana, first base, third base eligible
in Yahoo? You know, it's strange because whenever you think
Carlos Santana, you think O b P League monster. He's
a guy that's always on base. Um. You know, he's
(18:51):
had a couple of twenty home runs seasons. He had
a little a bit of an outlier in sixteen where
he hit thirty four home runs. For the Indians, and
you know it might be um, a little bit of
the juice ball thing going around for this year for
him to get Yeah, I hear you. But one of
the things that I'm looking at, UM, looking at the
(19:12):
fan grafts page, he's been a really low babbit guy
in his career, mostly probably because he's really slow. Um,
but last year he had he had two thirty one babbit.
He's probably a career about two sixty seven babbit guy.
He's at three oh three babbit, so three or three
babbit with two ninety average right now. If he can
sustain that high babbit, Um, I think his average might
(19:36):
might go down to about two seventy five to eighty.
And that's great for guys that drafted him in the
average league, because you're just thinking, Um, this is a
guy that's gonna be great in my corner infield spot
where he's gonna give me some power, a couple of
swipes here and there, Um, and he's not gonna tank
my average. But hey, if if he can hit two
s eighty, that would be great for you. Of course.
(19:57):
And the number that stands out to me the most
is his hard hit pretent. It is at forty seven
point three percent, and if you look at the rest
of his career is he's never been over thirty six percent,
So we're talking about an eleven eleven point jump from
his career high, which is pretty insane. If you want
to look at the rest of his per fields exit
velocities in the ninety percentile, only five percent of the
(20:17):
league is getting harder than him, hitting the bull harder
than him, um x wobas in the ninety percentile X
sluggings eighties six. So all the pro fields are there
to think to make you think that Carlos Santana can't
keep it up, and we always know he has a
great eye at the plate, so that's just something that
it's all coming together for him. Another guy I wanted
to speak about was Danny Santana, who hit another homer
(20:39):
to night, and he's up to nine homer's, nine stolen
basis on the season, hitting over three hundred and this
was a nice surprise for your Texas Rangers. Now, I
think it was a big surprise for everybody. I mean,
whenever you see Danny Santana gets signed to a minor
league deal in the beginning of the season, everyone's like
that guy is still around, like he's been in he's
been in the league for still eleven years. And um,
(21:02):
you know, now he's got nine home runs, nine deals.
Like you said, he's hitting over three hundred. Um, he's
really contributing for an overperforming Rangers team. And one of
the things that I thought would would hinder him would
be playing time once everyone got healthy. With Gallo coming back,
and you know he always wants to play the outfield
now and never wants to step foot and field again. Um,
(21:24):
with Gallop coming back, that would that would pretty much
give them everyone from the opening day that's healthy. And
then you sprinkling a little bit of Hunter Pence, a
little bit of Willie Calhoun. You know, where's this guy
gonna play? So, Um, he's kind of pushing the Ranger's
hand here, and I think he's going to force his
way into the lineup. And the one guy I think
it's gonna be bad for is Rugnette o'd door. He's
(21:44):
a guy that's hitting under one eighty, not showing as
much power. Um, I believe he still has an option
or two left to go back down to Triple A
and try and figure it out. I mean he's still young,
but you know, he kind of gotta good with the
hot hand. With Danny Santana and Logan forsythe um you know,
flashback to with these two names coming up. Yeah, seriously. Um,
(22:04):
So one thing that stands out for him is as
bad but is that three ninety and his averages around
three or nine. So obviously some regressions coming in the
batting average area. Unlike Carlos Santana, his prip fields are
a little worse, but there's still a bubbly average, which
is good to see, especially from a guy like Danny Santana.
Like we're talking about, um, his exit flaut season, the
seventies six percentile, He's he's a little above average and
(22:28):
almost every category as far as um between the two,
if you want to compare, who do you have more
faith in for the rest of season, Carlos Santana or
Danny Santana. Definitely Carlos. I think the staying playing time
is going to be there. There's no way that they're
gonna bench that bat And even though you know right
now Danny Santana is playing just about every day, like
(22:48):
you said, there is there's a lot of room for
regression coming, and I don't want to be sitting there
holding the holding the empty pot whenever that happens. I
totally agree. I just want to make sure we're on
the same page with that. We'll stay in the American
League and we'll talk about a picture here. Who's happening
a great season? It's Alex Column. They one of the
surprise closers of the year. As far as his success
coast twenty nine and the third inning sixteen saves zeros
(23:11):
at a two one five, his whip is under a
point seven zero is whips at zero point six eight.
Alex Column has been a great surprise for fantasy owners.
What are your thoughts on him continuing this the rest
of the season. Uh, they're kind of in the race,
so he's not gonna get moved. I mean if he
keeps pitching like this so close out some meaningful games
for them. Yeah, you would choose to talk about him
on the day he blows his first safe. Oh look
(23:33):
at that. I didn't even I didn't put two and
two together. No, yeah, I really like Uh, you know,
Alex Collmey, he's been very I get the win though
he did get there, did get the wind yes, uh
and the wind for sure. Um. Yeah, you know he's
been underrated whenever he started with the Rays and then
he got dealt last year. Everyone thought he was gonna
be one of these trade chips. But like you said,
(23:54):
White Sox sitting there at thirty seven and forty one, Um,
they're not too far behind the Indians and the Twins
in their division, and of course the wild card. Whenever
Texas is leaving the wild card, you know you've got
a chance. So uh, yeah, he's he. I don't think
he's gonna get moved. I don't see why they would
if they're if they're going to try and go for it,
they've got a few prospects that can bring up to
make a second half push. And he's a guy that's
(24:16):
been underrated in the past whenever is with the Rays.
I mean, thirty seven saves, forty seven saves just two
and three years ago. Um, a lot of kys back
in not as much the past two years, but still
a solid guy at the end of the bullpen um.
You know that can get you some staves at the
end of the day. So it's pretty crazy that I
was calling it has this much success and he only
throws two pitches. He's still on his fourth seam thirty
(24:37):
four percent at a time and his cutter sixty six
percent at a time, So that's something special in itself.
His cutter has a pitch value of nine point six,
which is outrageous. His fastballs zero point five pitch value.
But that cutter, man, that's that's his bread and butter
always has been. As far as his fastball velocity goes,
though he's way below league average fastball spin wablow league average.
(24:59):
If you look at his per fields, you would think
that the regression is coming, and it's coming soon. So
I would consider him that maybe a bit of a
cell high candidate, considering he's put up numbers that go
along with the best clothes in the game so far,
and I personally don't think that's gonna sustain for the
rest of the season. So I think he might be
a cell high candidate if you have him, and if
you have other closers in your bolt. And let's shift
(25:21):
over the National league for one last sky here for
is it sustainable? David dal who has been a great,
a great fine for fantasy owners. I know, uh people
used to call it, make jokes called Matt used to
call him China Doll before the season started. He wanted
nothing to do with him because he gets hurt so easily.
He's said in three seven team and nine homers for
d RBIs two sixty two at pass, Daviddal has been
(25:41):
one of the best out fielders in baseball this year. Yeah,
he definitely has been. I was completely off of him
on his price during draft season. Um, just because, like
you said, he's getting hurt really easily. And then you know,
before we hopped on this podcast, I wanted to see
because I just feel like he hasn't played that much.
But I mean looking at his game team, so I
mean he's playing just as much as an everyday outfielder.
(26:03):
I think it's just my Rockies, Uh syndrome is creeping in.
Oh god. Yeah. Just whenever I think of any any
great batter in Colorado, there's always gotta be some little
Astris next to his name. So, um, moving forward for
the rest of the year, I mean, as long as
he gets the playing time, I don't see why he couldn't.
You know, he's got nine home runs right now. I
(26:24):
could see him being his ten today. Yeah, ten homers
bys now, Yeah, so maybe you know, another ten to
fifteen the rest of the year. Three seventeen with a
four oh nine bad definitely is not sustainable. But you know,
creeping down to the two seventy to eighty range won't
hurt that much. Guy. That's gonna provide a little bit
of speed. There's always that injury factor, but he's there's
(26:45):
not much. Um, there's not many outfielders out there that
have as much upside as David dal Yeah. He was
the seventy feet player taking off the board on average,
which it's pretty good considering all things. Um, he was
taking as low as one forty in the n f PC.
So I'm not positive these numbers are including the redraft.
(27:05):
I believe they are. Let me, uh, let me set
it before the season and we'll see what dolls at. Yeah.
I want to say he was a consensus top five
six round guy. Yeah. So, so he's seventy before the
Sunior starting, he was going seven year overall. So Randy
Hayes actually speaking on Randy has him in our main
event qualifier, but that's not doing him any good. It
(27:28):
might be TJ. No, it is the main event qualifier,
but shout out to you Randy for drafting David doll.
He got that one right, one thing right again. Oh man. Um, So,
tell the listeners out there about your whole DFS experience
and what's been going on with TFS over the last
I guess a couple of months for you. Um. Well,
(27:49):
right now, we're kind of in a little bit of
a flux because only we're only able to play baseball DFS.
And I say we it's because me and my wife
we play a DFS as avidly as any of you
listeners out there. Um. And and whenever we play DFS,
we go big or go home. So we're always in
you know, the hundreds of five hundred people tournaments and
(28:13):
you know our I think our bottom line for for
entries is about a hundred dollars, so we'll do anything
from a hundred to you know, infinity. Um. But we're
on a pretty pretty tough losing streak right now in
the past three days. Don't let them fully they win.
She wins, Yes, she wins, not me. Um. Yeah, I
(28:33):
mean she's she does the research, not as much as me,
but she just looks at their past game log. She
doesn't worry about the matchup, she doesn't worry about the names.
She can't even pronounce the names from the most part um.
And then I'm like, you know, don't pick this guy.
He's playing in coors, And she's like, why do I
care if he's drinking a beer while he's playing. I mean, really,
(28:55):
I don't. I could care less. After seeing her success,
would you say DFS is more luck or more skill?
I mean, it obviously takes a certain amount of skill
to especially be you know, with the guys that continuously
win here and here out, and you know, with as
much as we play with the big ticket items that
(29:16):
we go in, you see the same guys at the
top of the leader board. I mean there's this one
guy with his picture, his profile picture as a husky,
and every time we we enter in a lineup where
like there's that damn husky again, like every single time. Um.
But yeah, I mean, obviously it takes some skill, but
at the end of the day, you know, it's it's
(29:36):
basically just clicking the right name. And apparently my wife
can do that pretty good. So so me and one
of the other guys, a pictureless Colin Charles, we're discussing, uh,
formulating our own tfs, like analyzer like Rhoto Grinders does.
It turns out Roto Grinders has a lot more stuff
than I thought they did, and their TFS analyzer they
(29:56):
did actually a really really good job. But I don't
of if you use rod Grinders Draft Analyzer or any
other draft analyzers. Yeah, I use rodal Grinders because I
see them at the top of the leaderboard most of
the time whenever I'm in there. Do you pay for
the premium content? I don't right now, but I look
at you know I have, and you know, especially whenever
(30:17):
I'm on a losing streak and start to dive a
little bit deeper into the things that are out there.
So I'm assuming they just tell you if you pay
for the premium content, they'll just tell you pretty much
who to pick. Yeah, pretty much. But now if they're
picking the same guys, how's that work? I mean, of course,
you can always say, extack this lineup, you know, the
(30:37):
two three, five hitters are good, and then maybe you
do like a wraparound. But at the end of the day,
you always have to try and get under that cap.
If you're playing in draft Kings, and they'll give you
suggestions for a couple starting Pitchers. But you know, sometimes
I try and go off the wall a little bit,
like today I started Houser. That did not work out
(30:57):
very well. Um yeah, I mean you just you just
kind of have to build it the way, um, the
way that you think it's gonna play out. Like tonight,
I stacked Houston and I should have stacked Pittsburgh. It
happens like that. Yeah. Alright, So there's a little uh
tfs tidbit from Colin there. Do you have any picks
for the upcoming Days? This episode will hopefully be released
(31:19):
on Thursday, the seven. Uh for the upcoming Days, I
mean tomorrow is a really small slate um getting into
the weekend. So just taking a little look at the schedule.
You got Texas in Tampa Bay. That should be an
offensive show. Out Washington against Detroit Washington. I'd really like
to play a lot of their hitters and pictures as well. Um,
(31:42):
let's see out West, You've got Oakland and l A
the Angels Love Show. Heyo Tani uh, he's been you know,
killing it ever since he came off the d l
Um and then l A and and Colorado, the Dodgers
in the Rockies in course Field, I mean, you can
never go wrong with with stack and hitters and there.
But of course, for you plays on Friday, so um,
(32:05):
he might be a contrarian play whenever you go in
and set your lineups for Friday. So there's a few
there's a few games out there this week that are
pretty pretty good. So so here's a question I have
for you, and I'm looking at the bad everst pitching
matchups for tomorrow. Nolan Arronado is twelve or twenty one
against Ryo. You uh, Freddie Freeman, I have it right here.
Freddie Freeman is thirteen for fifty against Jacob the Ground
(32:29):
with three home runs. Now, obviously these guys have Freeman
Freeman's case, some success in Arnaut's case, a lot of
success against the top pitchers in the league. Right now,
are you in the ground, would you still roster Freddie
Freeman or Nolan Arronado Because in my opinion, I would
always stay away from those guys because they're facing the grammar,
because they're facing where are you? And those guys are
pitching so well, but then I always end up getting
(32:51):
burned for not having them in my lineup when they
end up hitting. Yeah, I completely understand the getting burned part. Um,
because every time you see a slate with Mike Trout
on it and you don't pick him, you know something's
gonna happen. So so going into this weekend, um, no
One Arnado going up against U, I think I'm gonna
stay away from. I really think where you has has
come out of nowhere this year and just been a
(33:13):
complete ace for that team. Um. Luckily he hasn't had
an eye l stint yet to slow him down, and
he's been completely mastering every single offense he's going up
going up against. So I'm probably gonna stay away from
Ronado and most of the Rocky sitters going up against him. Now,
Freddie Freeman and that Atlanta Braves offense is is pretty
stout as well, so that if I'm looking to do
(33:35):
a little bit of contrarian play whenever you've got the
ground going up against Rocca, which is gonna be a
great pitching matchup in itself. Um, you know, I love
putting a KUNI in love putting Freeman in. And if
I'm if I'm looking at the bottom of the lineup,
Albi's is there as well. I won't go out of
my way to roster some of the second hand names
in the Braves lineup. But if you know, if I'm
(33:57):
looking at the matchups and Freeman fits my roster construct
and I don't have a problem put them in. Yeah,
so just to play Devil's advocates, you see where I'm at.
I looked it up last week. I think Nolan Arron
out is hitting like four hundred against lefties and corps Field,
So I'm kind of like, it's a toss up. Do
I want to play in doing I want to plan?
But Collins writing the picture List DFS article for me
(34:17):
tomorrow that which is coming out on seven, the same
day as this podcast, hopefully. Um so you guys can
check it out. I don't want to spoil too many
of his picks here when you can read it there
at picture list dot com. Is first dfsrest article, first
article at picture lists dot com, first of many, hopefully
first of many. Um So we'll shift over the season
(34:38):
long play and look at the some closers, the closer
carouse Hell, I'll say in a couple of teams here,
and we'll start with Tampa. And right before we got
on the air, we were talking how Pagan came in
in the seventh inning. UH Castillo has heard on the
d L Alvarado is coming back soon. Long term? Who
are you going with there? Oh, it's funny you ask
me this question because in the Second Chance League I
(34:59):
did on NFB. See, I didn't draft any of the closers.
But Castillo is available after the first fab runs. So
I wasted a hundred and nineteen dollars on him just
to cut him this past week, and I cut him
for Alvarado. So all in all, I think I have
about two hundred dollars spent in the UH in the
Rays closing about seventy I think. So no thoughts about
(35:23):
chas Row or No, not long term, No, I think
the rest of the year. It's gonna be Alvarado's job
as long as he can, as long as he has
his personal issues behind him. I know he had a
few rough outings. He was kind of starting to lose it,
but he's gotten a nice little break. Um. It's kind
of like a mini I l stand. I mean, maybe
he needed to figure something out. Maybe what was happening
(35:45):
in his hometown was really getting to him. And now
that that's behind him and he's back, I think he
should take the job and run with it. And like
you said, before we came on the before we came
on air, Pagan came in in the seventh and blew
the safe and so I mean not really blew the save,
but he just kind of blew the game for them,
So um, that just kind of muddies the water even more.
(36:06):
So I think once he comes back, I think he's
got the job as long as he can stay healthy. Alright.
So the way we'll do this, I'll try and go
division my division here and get one tumultuous save situation
going on here and once in Minnesota. I guess, uh,
Taylor Rodgers did he get to save tonight? I believe
he got another save tonight? Yeah, he got another safe.
(36:26):
Tonight's tent of the year. And Trevor May and especially
Blake Parker kind of waiting there. I know a lot
of people still on Parker, not as many people in May.
I guess Taylor Rodgers the guy I want to get
the guy tone. Oh it looks that way, but you know,
with with the twins, they can kind of throw May,
Parker and Rodgers anyway that they want to, and I
(36:46):
think that that's what they'll do. The rest of the season.
But moving forward, I think Rodgers will have the most
same opportunities of the three, which is very strange whenever
you're talking, you know, a week or two ago with Parker,
I think he had ten saves come into this week alone,
and so you think, you know, he's probably the guy. Well,
now Rogers creeps up and now has ten saves of
(37:07):
his own. Um, so you know, in the beginning of
the year, I think one week he had three saves Rogers.
That is so everyone went crazy on fab for him,
including myself in a in a league where I punted saves.
Luckily I held onto him. So hopefully we'll be able
to see it out the rest of the year. But
I think may he might get a couple here and there.
(37:27):
H Parker a couple here and there, but Rogers seems
to have a good grasp on that position. Just while
we're on the topic of closers. I don't know if
you saw, um Colin Weatherwax main event Hall of Famer
Brad Boxburger got sent to the designated for assignment today.
Did you see that? Yes? I did, But you know
what he did what I needed them to do. So
I'll be forever grateful to Brad Boxburger. Maybe maybe another
(37:51):
closer sighting here. Tyler White is pitching. He's gone two
thirds of an inning, six earn runs, four walks, four hits.
Still out there. He's pitched a couple of times this year,
hasn't he if I'm not mistaken, Yeah, I mean he
has a twenty one here, right, So I don't think
he just got that. Yeah, coming into this game and
he's had he pitched in three games and he's done
(38:13):
a lot better than he's doing right now. Yeah, I picked.
I picked the right game to stack, just the wrong team. Yeah.
Fourteen runs for the Pirates, all right. Back to a
regular schedule programming the l West. I would say, Liam Hendricks,
who got to save tonight, is the man in Oakland
with Blake trying it out. And I know Justin Mason,
a guy friends and Fantasy Benefits, tweeted out that he thinks,
(38:35):
uh trying it's gonna be out longer than than they're
leading us on. Lu Trevino is waiting in the wings.
Next in line, Liam Hendricks, Romanos alias for the Mariners
who have disappointed me to no end, and Sean Kelly
and how so Robeless. This is this is a weird
group of closers, but we'll stay in Oakland here. Liam
Hendricks has got on. Yeah it looks that way. Very
(38:57):
disappointing since I went out of my way to draft
training in the main event this year. Um so yeah,
moving forward, I think it is Liam Hendricks. And I
was listening to I believe it was the fan Graphs
sleeper in the bust with Justin Mason, and you know,
it sounds like a shoulder impingement and you know it
might just kind of escalate from there, which is always scary.
(39:20):
So I think it's Liam Hendricks. For the rest of
the year. I didn't go out of my way to
get him in a lot of places. I actually made
a trade for Blake training in one of my Dynasty leagues.
While we're on the topic, because I don't have any saves,
I traded away Matt Carpenter for Blake training. I would
need to see the team's act and I have no saves.
(39:44):
So you're talking yellow Sinceel Machado Bellinger, So look at that.
I love it. So yeah. I mean in the Dynasty League,
I still think trying to might have a little bit
of value. Um. I don't think they just can leately
hand the reins over to a guy that was, you know,
a middling reliever coming in an opener. Didn't he start
(40:05):
the playoff game for them? Yeah? Our game? He started
game and pitch thinning, right, He's not a guy that
you know, has a long track record of saves. And
like you said before, Luke Trevino was looking like the
air apparent and I was actually rostering him as a
handcuff in my main event team. And you know, he's
just kind of blown up in the past couple of weeks.
So I mean, there's always a chance that Hendricks can
(40:27):
kind of just take this job and run with it.
But if he has the slightest hiccup and Trevino is
kind of pitching good today's pitching landscape, you just never know. Uh. Then,
al East, you have Luke Jackson with the Anthony suarezac
next to line, sar Jeromo and Nick Anderson next to line.
Edwin Diaz hasn't been the same end winds from last year.
(40:47):
Hector Nerris with a couple of guys next in line there,
Sean Doolo seems like the only the only solid option
there in Washington Uh, I don't know who you want
to go with here. Uh, I guess we talked about
Philly before we got on air. You said Norris was
kind of similar to who I can't remember off the
top of my head. It was kind of similar to
the twins situations. That's what I was here. Just go
(41:10):
anyway with it. I mean, they don't have the great
options that the Twins have, but they can kind of
just mix and match the way that they have. Um
the situation I kind of want to monitor in this league.
If you're looking for saves down the line, might be
in Miami with Sergio Romo, he should get dealt at
the deadline, and Nick Anderson has He started off the
(41:30):
year great, have a few bumpy patches, and now he's
kind of back to that dominant reliever role. So I
think if you're if he's available in some of your
leagues and you need saves the rest of the year,
he's the guy that I'm going out to target. Even
though they're not really gonna get many wins in Miami,
the offense has been greater or or you know, better
than we thought, so you know, there might be a
chance for for some more saves in the second half,
(41:52):
and even a guy like Tearan Guerrero could be a
dog horse for saves there. You want to go to
the al Central. We got a Craig We'll come back Thursday.
Here's obviously hater Vasquez, obviously Basquez to Two pretty big
ones are St. Louis Cardinals with Hicks out and the
Reds with Iglesias really struggling. Lorenzen has been getting some
(42:13):
saves lately, and I Glesias before we got on air,
gave up a couple of runs tonight. Who would you
rather roster at this point, Carlos Martinez or Michael Lorenzen. Oh,
that's a great question. Um, one has more competition than
the other, obviously with John Gant waiting in the wings
and Andrew Miller. But Michael Lorenzen or Carlis Martinez, Well,
I mean Rasciella Glecias has shown in the past that
(42:36):
he can be a dominant closer, and if they don't
deal him, then I would say that they both kind
of have the same amount of competition around them. Um,
I think with upside, I would go with Carlos Martinez.
I mean, the upside is is crazy huge for him
and I think for the past couple of years, whenever
he was going through his injury things, there's been a
lot of analysts that have been saying, just move this
guy the bullpen. Moved him to your closer role and
(42:58):
he can be a dominant for there. So I really
am looking forward to seeing him. I threw out a
couple offers to the guys that owned Carlos Martinez in
those leagues, and I did not get a bite. And
I don't blame them. I mean, this is a guy
that could take the job and run with it. Of course,
it's awful for Hicks owners. He was awesome to watch
on pitching Ninja's Twitter follow um, and you know, as
(43:21):
a younger pitcher coming back from Tommy John and in
a Bolton, you just never know how that's gonna happen
now or shape out. So yeah, it's brutal to lose him,
but yeah, I'd probably go Carlos Martinez. And for what
it's worth, a Glaciers Cira is up to three point
eight six, Lorenz and Zia is up to three point
We're down to three point one two, So that's something
to monitor to. Most people think that Gleasie is kind
(43:43):
of has a strong hold on the job, but it
might not be as strong as you think. I think
Tyler White should reach out to him to see how
you can play offense and pitch at the same time.
At LS, everyone's pretty slid here. You're expecting Will Smith
to get traded by the trade deadline, so I guess
said you might get Tony Watson saves in San Francisco.
(44:03):
Holland has been good. Uh way, yeah, that's another option.
Wade Davis has been bad. He gotta save today, so
that kind of helps him a little bit. Scott Olberg,
who is having a great season. You really just can't
predict baseball, um Kenmy Jansen obviously has a stronghold on
his job. So that's the closer carousel. And is there
anything left for us to talk about? Waiver wire ads?
(44:25):
Do you want to hit waiver wires real quick? Yes? Yes,
lots of waiver our ads so, um, most of my
waiver our ads are gonna be, um, you know, focused
more on the fifteen team leagues, more more deeper format, um,
a little bit a little bit more competitive. I'll go
out and say that a little bit more competitive leagues. Um,
So especially in my main event. I am in desperate
(44:49):
need of pitching. I mentioned this guy a little bit
earlier with Aaron Houser. Um, he has been dominant in
the bullpen for Milwaukee, kind of just as an unknown. Really.
I saw him getting the spot start today, looked a
little bit deeper into his numbers, and he's been really
great coming out of the bullpen for him. I don't
know if they're going to transition him into the rotation
(45:09):
full time or if he's just kinda be gonna be
like a long reliever or a quas a opener. But
he's a guy that, um, you know, I might be
throwing some spec bids that this week, just you know,
hopefully it sticks against the wall and he turns into
a rotation guy or maybe just a guy that stabilizes
my ratios. So what do you think about Houser? Yeah,
I mean you pretty much hit the nail on the
(45:31):
head there. At the very least, hopefully you can stabilize
your ratios for you. Another guy I wanted to tell
the listeners about was and two rookies. Actually I want
to speak about real quick, and I'm probably gonna butcher
his name like I always do. Kissing Herra. Uh. He's
been dominating Triple A since he's been best since he's
been down there in the PCL. He's up to uh.
(45:51):
He's home in multi hits in three of his last
four games, and his OPS is up to one thousand,
one hundred four. So he'll be back with the Brewers
soon and end the McKay. I don't know how much
you've been reading about Brendon McKay, but if the Rays
really want to make a push here for the playoffs,
I think I'll definitely be up in the near future.
And on Yahoo you could get him kind of the
same way they do Otani as Brendan McKay. They hitter
(46:12):
Brendon McKay the picture. He's only three percent on right now,
and Kesting is on, which I thought was interesting. Yeah,
those are two great names. Most of the leagues that
I planned don't have Kesting available. Unfortunately, I've still been
stashing him in a couple of leagues where I own him. Uh.
Completely believe in the talent, Completely believe in in the
guy himself, as long as he can get that. You
(46:34):
know that opportunity that a guy named Travis Shaw is
just completely taken away from him. I think he can
have a great breakout second half. And then McKay of course,
the guy that was a dual position kind of like
show Hey Otani guy with a lot of power um
at first base, but they kind of transitioned him into
a full time picture roll love the move. He's been
(46:57):
completely dominant in the minors and you know he's a
guy especially for the Raise, the way that they use
their pictures. I mean just think of like a Brandon McKay,
Colin post, Jalen Beaks, and then Alvaredo coming in at
the end of to close it out. Those are four
dominant lefties that are gonna be hard for any team
to hit off of. Yeah, that that would be ideal
(47:18):
for for Raised fans. I know, I see Yanty and
on Twitter all the time talking about just call up McKay.
He put up a call up Wander Franco today and
he had a raison it so that was pretty funny. Um.
Kevin Kermeyer, We've been talking about him on the show
for weeks now. He Homer It again tonight. He's up
to nine Homer's thirteen stolen bases, his averages around two
(47:38):
forty five, but he's hitting the ball harder than ever. Yeah, yeah,
very underrated. And one last guys JP Crawford, who is
only eight percent on the yahoomer and he is up
to uh three oh five. So since he's been back
from the minors, he's hitting three forty eight with sixteen
r b I s and his last eighteen games. So
(47:58):
he might not provide to stay this half for the
rest of the year, but I think it'll definitely provide
some some cheap value. He's third base, shortstop eligible and
yahoo and I don't know how what his ownage percentages
in the NFBC, but if you could get your hands
on JP Crawford, that wouldn't be a bad idea. Yeah,
especially if he's dropped or you know, if he's batting
in the second hole. Uh. You know, we talked about
(48:19):
it before we got on. He's only twenty four years old.
So this is not the type of guy that your
GM wants to go out and trade just because he
has that fix. He needs that fix. Um, he's only
owned in the NFBC, so he might be someone I'm
gonna go out and get. Uh So yeah, yeah, those
are a couple of guys. The last couple of guys
for me, um gonna be the Nelson Lamet, a guy
(48:41):
that's really been struggling on his way back from Tommy
John surgery last year where I drafted him, I thinking
like the fifteenth round, right before the news came out
for my main event. Yeah, completely stunned me. Um. So
his last start before this week, he gave up four
warned over five innings in triple A. But then this
(49:03):
past start this week, actually yesterday, he went, uh, let's see,
he went five innings, struck out eight, and allowed one run.
So he's a guy that could provide a lot of
a lot of strikeouts for you in the second half
of the year. But a thing I saw on Twitter
to day was where is he going to slot in?
Um And as an sp I mean, you've got Chris Paddock,
(49:25):
who who's on an inning's limit. You've got Logan Allen
who's been doing pretty good himself. Um, You've got a
couple other guys that are just kind of sitting there.
But I'm wondering where he's gonna slide in to that rotation.
But I do think he has a role once they
call him up, and then the last guy is gonna
be Dominic Smith. And of course, you know, being in
New York, I'm sure you've heard a lot of jokes
(49:46):
about Dominic Smith. But this is a guy that has
been playing the outfield. I know, hold your breath whenever
he's out on the out there on defense. But you know,
he's a guy that's gonna go. He's he went three
for three today before he got double switched on um
for defensive purposes in the outfield. But he's been on
a really hot streak lately. Guy that's gonna provide you
with first base and outfield eligibility. And it looks like
(50:09):
he's playing in the shadow of Pete Alonso. Might be
a blessing for him. There isn't as much pressure on
him anymore, and he's been hitting the ball hard. So
those are the three guys from me, Howser, Lament and
Donic Smith. You know, isn't an amazing how like we
talked about before the season, is this guy gonna play?
Is this guy gonna plays? Is kind of gonna play?
And it's time and time again. It's if the guys
are pure hitter and he get hit, they'll find ways
(50:31):
to get him in the lineup and everything works itself out.
Jeff McNeil is like the perfect example of that. Guys
weren't terested him because they weren't sure that is playing
time and he's just a professional hitter and what he
does is hit, and he hits and they give him
the playing time. There's somebody else I can't remember at
the top of my head that was kind of in
that Jeff McNeil's situation. I can't remember right now at
the top of my head. But it's the same exact
(50:51):
thing as McNeil. Oh, DJ and Mayhew. No one knewhere
DJL meant he was gonna play before the season started.
People are acting like, oh yeah, and we knew DJ
may was gonna do this. Nobody knew DJ may he
was gonna get these everyday at Pats until the Yankees
fifteen guys went down and d J may he's hitting
in the heart of the lineup. And now they're talking
about him from m v P on the radio here
in New York. I don't know if you heard that
(51:11):
talk yet. No, I'm not in New York. I'm glad
because I would have to laugh at that. But I
did see I did see on Twitter today it was
really funny. Dj le Mayhew, who was a Corps field
creation and cannot hit away from altitude, is now hitting
three three him uh Don Smith ninety five innings in
(51:33):
left field this season, zero defensive run saved, which is
not bad considering it's not in the negative. Yeah, which
was surprised by that number. Yeah. Last year at first
space he was negative. Last year he was negative five
defensive run saves and less innings in left field. So
that's a little bit improvement. Even though his his u
z r isn't where most left fielders are, but it's
(51:56):
improved from negative three point one negative zero point two,
So Dom Smith is going a little bit better in
the outfield. Other than that, this was your Fantasy Sports
Network Fantasy Sports radio debut. I'm sorry it wasn't in
a professional studio like me and Matter usually, and I'm
sorry I'm not gonna be here with us, but I
hope you enjoyed your time. Oh yeah, no problem. Once
(52:18):
I once I come up to New York, I'll definitely uh,
I'll barge my way into your studio so that way
I can have I'll just kind of take your seat
and you can sit in the corner with y'all's I
think y'all's producer. Um, yeah, I can try and figure
out a fantasy team if you, um, if you give
some some other people a chance and the main event qualifier,
(52:39):
then maybe I could win a main EventID and then
both go to the main event in New York. That's
how it's supposed to happen. Got the memo. No, I
think if you just get like a nice little pay
raise at your job, then maybe you can just join
me there. Man, alright, go follow Colin weather Wax at
Sea weather Wax thirteen on Twitter one more time. I'll

Ladies and gentlemen, you are now listen to the Fantasy
Baseball I admit I don't look like Dad's leader today.
Supposed to look my bedst just a little big. Mine
(00:42):
is just a little big. But brother, I am bad
and they know I'm bad. Brother action grade. I'm a framed.
If you get get, I went to get and I
look to it. Lady, that evening follow inside, don't know. Hey,
(01:04):
what's up everybody, and welcome to the Fantasy Baseball Hour
with the Match Striker and Mike the Rhoto Cop. We
have a great episode of the Fantasy Baseball Hour for
you this week as our very own Michael the Rhodo
Cops sits down with Colin Weatherwax and that's a great
get by Mikey and these guys, honestly, get your pads
and your pens out when we get to this particular segment,
(01:27):
because you're gonna have to go back and listen to
it at least two times. There are so many good
names and stats dropped in this conversation that I feel
like if there were almost two dozen names mentioned here
with with proof of concepts, so to speak, like why
did they like them? Here's why I like this guy.
If if you grab one, you grab two across any
(01:50):
of your leagues, I feel like you have a distinct
advantage over anyone else because they were just names that
would dropped here. That again, like someone says, hey, I
have a baseball scoop for you, and they say, you know,
j Le Mayhew, it's very good, and no one thought
he'd be like, if you're not telling me anything, I
don't know. But Mike and Colin really break down some
good stuff and they tell you a lot of things
(02:11):
that you don't know. At least I feel like I
don't know. It's uh, almost the first week of July,
and this is where I start to assess my teams
just as a GM, so I have seven working teams
right now. But there is one team that's just driving
me nuts. It's a twelve team league. This team is
mired in ten place, eight hundred points out of first,
(02:36):
but between first and second is a hundred points. So
I look at that that a hundred points is a game.
Therefore I am eight games out of first? How many
games out of the money? Third place? Is? Wow? Third
place is only a hundred and ten points? Yeah, man,
I am. I'm eight games, seven games out of the money.
(02:56):
So obviously I'm not going to just tank this team.
I think that I'm definitely within striking distance, and it's
not even July. But what I wanted to do here
is talk to the people out there that have these
teams that are sitting in ten, eleven, twelfth place. The
first thing you do is do what I just did
right there. I think is that you look at the
distance between first and second, and based off of that number,
(03:17):
look into the screen second and third. You can start
to assess how many points essentially equates to a game.
So in that league, there was a hundred points from
first to second. Did you figure hundred points is a game?
May maybe see eighty points of games? So if you're
eight hundred points out, that sounds terrible, But if you're
seven and a half games out, that sounds far more manageable.
(03:38):
So I think you need to look at a lot
of your leagues and begin to assess where you are
right here, coming up in July. Most leagues, third place
gets you in the money. I would not be tanking
or selling or giving up. I'm trying to retool and
make this team better. That's what this is about here.
(03:59):
It's about can get your team and saying how can
I make them better? So let me look at this
team that I have here in tenth place of a
twelve team points league, and here's my team. Wilson, Ramos,
Paul gold Schmidt, Jose l two Bay. So right there,
those first two out of three Goldschman has been under achieving.
How two Day has been hurt? Uh? Ramos is whatever?
(04:20):
Dickerson profar, I'm at Rosario, Domingo Santana, Austin Riley, Elo, Jimnez,
Matt Olson, Fernando Tatis, Nick Senzel and Channagher on the
d L Kyle Tucker stashed. So, uh, it's definitely not
a bad line up. There are some some moves that
can be made. I often like to look at last
(04:41):
thirty days. That's my best gauge of fourteen days things
can happen. Seven days is just I got lucky. So
I look at thirty days, and honestly, there's no one
I'd really move here. I mean Drickerson profar. The only
thing keeping him on my team right now is his
position eligibility. He's like or position eligible. So beyond that,
(05:02):
there's really no offensive roster moves that that I am
gonna that I'm gonna make here. So let me go
down and look at my pitching. So what I've done
here is I have taken guys that have sp r
P qualification. I've thrown them in the starting pitcher slot.
So a guy like Josh James and John Gant are
(05:23):
out there every single day for me. This team, this
league has an innings limit. This team is a hundred
and eight innings below. I have a hundred eight innings
in the bank. So again, being eight games out a
hundred eight innings in pocket, I'm not worried. It's gonna
be a fun league and I'm gonna feel like King
Ship when when I win this league, or at least
(05:44):
placing the money. I might even change my team name
to make a passive aggressive gesture towards the rest of
the league, because I'm petty that way. So yeah, Liam
Hendricks just went out and grabbed him. Josh James Walker, Bueller,
Franber Valdez just got sent down as of this discussion.
So I'm gonna look and tell you what I did
(06:04):
with him in a minute. Jimmy Nelson, Roberto Sona, Brandon Woodruffe,
Trevor Bauer, match Stram, Kirby H, John Gant, j Hop
like tryn in who I'm gonna have to do? I mean,
he's done the d L, but I don't think I'm
gonna see me. Louis Savarina, who I've I've held on
to Um going down my pitching here. Jimmy Nelson just
hasn't had a chance yet. Roberto Sooner, you know, great fine,
(06:26):
Brandon Woodroffe has been my stud. Trevor Bauers showing up,
Match Dram, showing up, Kirby H showing up. Um. I mean,
Jay Hop, do you do you dangle him away? Um?
As far as what I did with Framber, I want
to name. I want to name be named Framber. I
want you to only call me Framber from now on. Hello, Framber,
(06:46):
I turned Framber into Oh, I have a waiver claim
in somebody had drop d D Gregorious, So I have
a waiver claim in Framberg for d D. If I
get that, I think I win out of nowhere. I
grab ded in any event. So this is this team.
It's not a bad team. I I am lacking a
(07:07):
I was gonna say an a starter, but I'm really not.
Trevor Bowers, my Ace daughter, my Ace closer, and the Kirby.
There's no reason this team should be intent place. I
want to look at the team that is in first
place in this league and let's try to see if
we can't get a glimmer of hope and some insight here.
So the team that's in first place has no catcher.
(07:29):
Freddie Freeman, Glabar Toros, Raphael Dever's, Elvis Andrews, Mookie Betts,
Starling Marte, David Fletcher, Eddie Rozario, Jose bre You, Jacques Peterson,
Chris Crushed Davis As, Drew Cabrera justin smoke, and Isaiah
kind of flaa. That is not a monstrous Oh my god,
(07:50):
I'm afraid of you. Team. But when you look at it,
I should punch myself in the face because Freddie Freeman, Glambartris,
Raphael devi Is, Elvis Andrews, Mookie Bett, Staling Monte are
all well over a hundred points over the last thirty days.
It's got a bunch of guys in the high nineties. Yeah,
I should shut my whole face. I wish I had
(08:13):
this team. Um and his pitching, his Carlos Martinez, Matthew Boyd,
Massierro Tanaka, Kyle Gibson, Tanner row Art, Josh Hayder, Hector Naris,
John Gray Sonny Gray, Cole Hamile's Marcus Stroman, Mike Clevinger,
and Luke Weaver who's doing it on his pitching Cole
Hamile's John grow who's doing it Matthew Boyd. Again, I'm
(08:37):
very confused. They might be something I'm missing in the
in the scoring settings of this league. But I just
read you my two the two teams one first place
mine and and one my team, and it should be
that way around. Like I'm just something does not add
up in my in my brain. Let me look at
the league scoring and maybe you can hit me up
(08:57):
on Twitter and uh tell me what I'm sing. Tell
me I'm an idiot at Fantasy b b our at
Matt underscore striker underscore Michael probably yell at me and
tell me I'm gonna forget. So there you gotta forget,
dick Um. Yeah. Man, it's two points for a run,
one point for a single, two points for a double,
four points or home run, two for a ribby, two
(09:18):
for a stolen base, two for an intentional walk. I mean,
I want guys with doubles, home runs, and guys that
steal bases. I guess the pitching a winness five points,
save five a complete game, which doesn't happen anymore. Yeah, no,
there's listen. I can't figure out this league, but for me, Um,
(09:42):
coming up on July one, Um eight games out, a
manageable eight games. I have innings in hand based off
my knowledge, this is a good baseball team. Would you
like to look at the current waiver wire? I will
do that with you, just because you know, I feel
like I feel like we've revolved that. So here we go.
(10:04):
I'm gonna go last thirty days. I'm gonna show my team.
I'm gonna go all batters. So that's what I'm doing
here on the Yahoo League and here we go. So
I'm going by fan points. Todd Fraser, Garrett Cooper, and
Ramon Loriana, who I had and dropped, all have more
points than my first guy. And my first guy is
(10:26):
Austin Riley with one eleven Todd Fraser's one one, so
only twenty points am I missing out on overall? And
I would not mind grabbing Ramone Loriano somewhere an event. Uh.
Then I feel like I had Jeff McNeil and dropped
him to he's the next free agent with points more
than the guys on my team. Jackie Bradley Jr. Christian Walker,
(10:48):
who now that Jake Lamb is coming off that he's
doing well in rehab. I don't know where Walker is
gonna play, but whatever, Uh, Kyle Schwarber, Colin Moran, Brian Anderson,
Brian Reynolds, Eric so are At Oscar Mercado I wouldn't
mind having on my team. These are all guys that
have more points than guys on my team. Space stout
(11:08):
so to speak, Cavin Bizio, who I have in another league,
Danny Santana who's getting hot and has three position eligibility.
Don't sleep on on Texas. Yeah, so, I mean I
could make what two moves, but I would want to
I'd rather try to work trades than than just drop, uh, anybody,
(11:32):
to be honest with you, anybody at least in my
in my first tier. So yeah, that's what you do. Man.
You're look and you see, uh, how many innings do
you have? Because those are weapons. Look at your team,
see who's performing, who's underperforming, Ask yourself if you want
to part with them, Look at the waiver wire, form
a plan, and then see how many points distance is
(11:54):
the one team from another and things like that. And
if this is attainable, and if you want to focus
the time and energy, you easily can pull a team
out from the depths of despair. And nothing feels better
than seeing, you know, my team was in tenth place
at the end of June. Here I am in August,
and I just moved into third or second even. You know,
(12:15):
it's really fun and that's why fantasy baseball is so great.
And another reason why fantasy baseball is so great because
there are people out there like Colin weather Wax and
I'll let might tell you more about them. But this
is just just a special person having the passion and
love of sports, but of baseball and being able to
to make it something that enriches other people's lives. That
(12:38):
to me is the true mark of of a professional.
And you know, you hear on this show things like
picture List and and and all these and these other
kind of like sites. Go check them out. They're written
by people that are truly passionate about sports. And one
of those guys a guy in Colin Weather. We actually
(12:59):
find him at sea Weather Wax thirteen. Mike and Collins
sat down and they just man, they gave you like,
is is it sustainable? Which is where guys that are
playing a little bit over their head, Mike and Colin breakdown.
If these guys are gonna keep doing it? Are these
guys should go out and pick up on your waiver wire.
Two days after you get him, he's gonna cool off.
(13:20):
Another thing the waiver wire also, which I think is
just it's so valuable to have someone as passionate and
knowledgeable as Colin and someone as absolutely obsessive as Mike is.
I love him to death, but if he does not
know someone's like Whoebike, he loses his mind. He bites
his nails down to his commuticles. I'm sorry, but I
(13:42):
guess that's what makes him so great. So here is
the Greatness the Mad Scientist himself, my good buddy, Mike
the Rhodocop, alongside Colin weather Wax. Thanks for the introduction, Matt.
(14:10):
That was very kind of your nice words. Colin Weatherwax
joins us, like Matt said, Colin Weatherwax at Sea Weatherwax
thirteen on Twitter, the newest member of Picture List and
the q B List at Fantasy Benefits and Mr Main
Inventor himself. Colin, how are you doing great, Mike? Thanks
to ure. I think that's a little bit better than Mats.
(14:31):
I appreciate it. So we brought you on knowing our
history together at Fantasy Benefits with Randy Haynes, who probably
a little upset, but we'll get him on a show
soon too. So there's a couple of things I wanted
to talk about, But the first thing I want to
talk about is how you got pasted today in our
Fantasy Benefits Main Event qualifier. First time all season you
(14:51):
got past. Yeah, it didn't last very long, Bradley Newman.
I see you've down there creeping. I still have a
point five point le lead, and like you said, I've
held the lead from from the get go. Uh, and
I plan on doing so the rest of the year.
So I hope you enjoyed your slight taste of victory, Bradley,
because it's not gonna happen. So Colin has been leading
(15:13):
the season since the first pitch of the season, which
is actually unheard of. Technically, I guess we could say
there hasn't been a night where you haven't been leading
as long as you hold onto this half a point
lead tonight. So for everybody's say, hopefully Bradley makes a
push here at the at the end of the night. Here, Um,
I wanted to talk to you about a couple of
things that are going on now in Major League Baseball.
(15:34):
We're recording this on Wednesday. So Rosario left the game
today with an apparent leg injury. And you said you
saw the play at the Rosario, Yeah, it didn't look
too good. Um. You know, he was rounding first, trying
to get a hustle double. Um, and it looked like,
just from my eyes, he might have hyper extended his knee.
But um, he kind of stumbled a little bit, didn't
(15:57):
fall flat on his face. He through his helme and
discussed as soon as he reached second base, and then
he was taking right off the field. So hopefully you
know he's not out for very long because he's been
really great for everyone that drafted him this year. Yeah,
he has been awesome. A couple of other things in
the news, John Carlos Stanton, he is back on the
injured list, which is no good for my NFBC share
(16:19):
of him and your draft championshare. I paired him with
Trade Turner, and like I told Colin all Fair, I
was expecting fifty stolen bases and fifty home runs and
I was scratching that on paper. But apparently I was
completely wrong about that. Craig Kimberroll likely to be activated
on Thursdays. Um, Mike Minor through a complete game. He's
(16:43):
having a ridiculous season. He has the league lead in
the year. I know him and Charlie Martin were close. Uh,
he's one of your guys in Texas. Collins a Texas
Rangers fan. Willie Calhoun also home in and double today.
Texas Rangers have really uh put a foot in my
mouth and saying that I was gonna win that bet
before the season before the season, we had a T
shirt bet me Colin and Randy Haines from Fantasy Friends
(17:04):
and Fantasy Benefits on which team will finish with the
best record based on the Pakoda standings. Did I explain
that correctly? Yeah? Yeah, But Pacoda projections before the season
is kind of like, uh, the Orioles were like plus
fifty six or something like that to catch the Mariners
at that point. But it's it's not fair to just
(17:26):
do like a win per per ten, so you have
to give her Randy like an eight eighty wind handicap
or something. So Texas obviously has been a surprised team
out of the three. So it looks like Colin's gonna
run away with with the new pitcher list T shirt
or I don't know what kind of T shirt you want.
You have a couple of months to think about it.
Um Liam Hendrix gets to save. We'll get into that
(17:46):
when we talk closers Mets bloat again. J Bruce is
the is the guy that does it to him this time,
which hurts a little bit extra because of his time
in New York. Craig Stammon gotta save with herby it's unavailable.
Your astro stack didn't work out too well. Uh, you
know what, Al two they just single Bregman just doubled um,
so you know there might still be drowned in the
(18:08):
bottom of the eight. So um. One thing me and
Matt like to do on the show was talk about
guys and what there, how they're playing right now and
if it's sustainable, because that's such a big thing in fantasy.
Do you think somebody's gonna keep it up? You by
low bylow so high on some guys. Uh. One guy
I want to talk about was Carlos Santana, who's having
a monster season. He's in two eighteen homers, forty RBIs
(18:30):
entering the day. He even has three swipes on me here,
which pretty funny. So he's at two forty three. Is
this sustainable for Carlos Santana, first base, third base eligible
in Yahoo? You know, it's strange because whenever you think
Carlos Santana, you think O b P League monster. He's
a guy that's always on base. Um. You know, he's
(18:51):
had a couple of twenty home runs seasons. He had
a little a bit of an outlier in sixteen where
he hit thirty four home runs. For the Indians, and
you know it might be um, a little bit of
the juice ball thing going around for this year for
him to get Yeah, I hear you. But one of
the things that I'm looking at, UM, looking at the
(19:12):
fan grafts page, he's been a really low babbit guy
in his career, mostly probably because he's really slow. Um,
but last year he had he had two thirty one babbit.
He's probably a career about two sixty seven babbit guy.
He's at three oh three babbit, so three or three
babbit with two ninety average right now. If he can
sustain that high babbit, Um, I think his average might
(19:36):
might go down to about two seventy five to eighty.
And that's great for guys that drafted him in the
average league, because you're just thinking, Um, this is a
guy that's gonna be great in my corner infield spot
where he's gonna give me some power, a couple of
swipes here and there, Um, and he's not gonna tank
my average. But hey, if if he can hit two
s eighty, that would be great for you. Of course.
(19:57):
And the number that stands out to me the most
is his hard hit pretent. It is at forty seven
point three percent, and if you look at the rest
of his career is he's never been over thirty six percent,
So we're talking about an eleven eleven point jump from
his career high, which is pretty insane. If you want
to look at the rest of his per fields exit
velocities in the ninety percentile, only five percent of the
(20:17):
league is getting harder than him, hitting the bull harder
than him, um x wobas in the ninety percentile X
sluggings eighties six. So all the pro fields are there
to think to make you think that Carlos Santana can't
keep it up, and we always know he has a
great eye at the plate, so that's just something that
it's all coming together for him. Another guy I wanted
to speak about was Danny Santana, who hit another homer
(20:39):
to night, and he's up to nine homer's, nine stolen
basis on the season, hitting over three hundred and this
was a nice surprise for your Texas Rangers. Now, I
think it was a big surprise for everybody. I mean,
whenever you see Danny Santana gets signed to a minor
league deal in the beginning of the season, everyone's like
that guy is still around, like he's been in he's
been in the league for still eleven years. And um,
(21:02):
you know, now he's got nine home runs, nine deals.
Like you said, he's hitting over three hundred. Um, he's
really contributing for an overperforming Rangers team. And one of
the things that I thought would would hinder him would
be playing time once everyone got healthy. With Gallo coming back,
and you know he always wants to play the outfield
now and never wants to step foot and field again. Um,
(21:24):
with Gallop coming back, that would that would pretty much
give them everyone from the opening day that's healthy. And
then you sprinkling a little bit of Hunter Pence, a
little bit of Willie Calhoun. You know, where's this guy
gonna play? So, Um, he's kind of pushing the Ranger's
hand here, and I think he's going to force his
way into the lineup. And the one guy I think
it's gonna be bad for is Rugnette o'd door. He's
(21:44):
a guy that's hitting under one eighty, not showing as
much power. Um, I believe he still has an option
or two left to go back down to Triple A
and try and figure it out. I mean he's still young,
but you know, he kind of gotta good with the
hot hand. With Danny Santana and Logan forsythe um you know,
flashback to with these two names coming up. Yeah, seriously. Um,
(22:04):
So one thing that stands out for him is as
bad but is that three ninety and his averages around
three or nine. So obviously some regressions coming in the
batting average area. Unlike Carlos Santana, his prip fields are
a little worse, but there's still a bubbly average, which
is good to see, especially from a guy like Danny Santana.
Like we're talking about, um, his exit flaut season, the
seventies six percentile, He's he's a little above average and
(22:28):
almost every category as far as um between the two,
if you want to compare, who do you have more
faith in for the rest of season, Carlos Santana or
Danny Santana. Definitely Carlos. I think the staying playing time
is going to be there. There's no way that they're
gonna bench that bat And even though you know right
now Danny Santana is playing just about every day, like
(22:48):
you said, there is there's a lot of room for
regression coming, and I don't want to be sitting there
holding the holding the empty pot whenever that happens. I
totally agree. I just want to make sure we're on
the same page with that. We'll stay in the American
League and we'll talk about a picture here. Who's happening
a great season? It's Alex Column. They one of the
surprise closers of the year. As far as his success
coast twenty nine and the third inning sixteen saves zeros
(23:11):
at a two one five, his whip is under a
point seven zero is whips at zero point six eight.
Alex Column has been a great surprise for fantasy owners.
What are your thoughts on him continuing this the rest
of the season. Uh, they're kind of in the race,
so he's not gonna get moved. I mean if he
keeps pitching like this so close out some meaningful games
for them. Yeah, you would choose to talk about him
on the day he blows his first safe. Oh look
(23:33):
at that. I didn't even I didn't put two and
two together. No, yeah, I really like Uh, you know,
Alex Collmey, he's been very I get the win though
he did get there, did get the wind yes, uh
and the wind for sure. Um. Yeah, you know he's
been underrated whenever he started with the Rays and then
he got dealt last year. Everyone thought he was gonna
be one of these trade chips. But like you said,
(23:54):
White Sox sitting there at thirty seven and forty one, Um,
they're not too far behind the Indians and the Twins
in their division, and of course the wild card. Whenever
Texas is leaving the wild card, you know you've got
a chance. So uh, yeah, he's he. I don't think
he's gonna get moved. I don't see why they would
if they're if they're going to try and go for it,
they've got a few prospects that can bring up to
make a second half push. And he's a guy that's
(24:16):
been underrated in the past whenever is with the Rays.
I mean, thirty seven saves, forty seven saves just two
and three years ago. Um, a lot of kys back
in not as much the past two years, but still
a solid guy at the end of the bullpen um.
You know that can get you some staves at the
end of the day. So it's pretty crazy that I
was calling it has this much success and he only
throws two pitches. He's still on his fourth seam thirty
(24:37):
four percent at a time and his cutter sixty six
percent at a time, So that's something special in itself.
His cutter has a pitch value of nine point six,
which is outrageous. His fastballs zero point five pitch value.
But that cutter, man, that's that's his bread and butter
always has been. As far as his fastball velocity goes,
though he's way below league average fastball spin wablow league average.
(24:59):
If you look at his per fields, you would think
that the regression is coming, and it's coming soon. So
I would consider him that maybe a bit of a
cell high candidate, considering he's put up numbers that go
along with the best clothes in the game so far,
and I personally don't think that's gonna sustain for the
rest of the season. So I think he might be
a cell high candidate if you have him, and if
you have other closers in your bolt. And let's shift
(25:21):
over the National league for one last sky here for
is it sustainable? David dal who has been a great,
a great fine for fantasy owners. I know, uh people
used to call it, make jokes called Matt used to
call him China Doll before the season started. He wanted
nothing to do with him because he gets hurt so easily.
He's said in three seven team and nine homers for
d RBIs two sixty two at pass, Daviddal has been
(25:41):
one of the best out fielders in baseball this year. Yeah,
he definitely has been. I was completely off of him
on his price during draft season. Um, just because, like
you said, he's getting hurt really easily. And then you know,
before we hopped on this podcast, I wanted to see
because I just feel like he hasn't played that much.
But I mean looking at his game team, so I
mean he's playing just as much as an everyday outfielder.
(26:03):
I think it's just my Rockies, Uh syndrome is creeping in.
Oh god. Yeah. Just whenever I think of any any
great batter in Colorado, there's always gotta be some little
Astris next to his name. So, um, moving forward for
the rest of the year, I mean, as long as
he gets the playing time, I don't see why he couldn't.
You know, he's got nine home runs right now. I
(26:24):
could see him being his ten today. Yeah, ten homers
bys now, Yeah, so maybe you know, another ten to
fifteen the rest of the year. Three seventeen with a
four oh nine bad definitely is not sustainable. But you know,
creeping down to the two seventy to eighty range won't
hurt that much. Guy. That's gonna provide a little bit
of speed. There's always that injury factor, but he's there's
(26:45):
not much. Um, there's not many outfielders out there that
have as much upside as David dal Yeah. He was
the seventy feet player taking off the board on average,
which it's pretty good considering all things. Um, he was
taking as low as one forty in the n f PC.
So I'm not positive these numbers are including the redraft.
(27:05):
I believe they are. Let me, uh, let me set
it before the season and we'll see what dolls at. Yeah.
I want to say he was a consensus top five
six round guy. Yeah. So, so he's seventy before the
Sunior starting, he was going seven year overall. So Randy
Hayes actually speaking on Randy has him in our main
event qualifier, but that's not doing him any good. It
(27:28):
might be TJ. No, it is the main event qualifier,
but shout out to you Randy for drafting David doll.
He got that one right, one thing right again. Oh man. Um, So,
tell the listeners out there about your whole DFS experience
and what's been going on with TFS over the last
I guess a couple of months for you. Um. Well,
(27:49):
right now, we're kind of in a little bit of
a flux because only we're only able to play baseball DFS.
And I say we it's because me and my wife
we play a DFS as avidly as any of you
listeners out there. Um. And and whenever we play DFS,
we go big or go home. So we're always in
you know, the hundreds of five hundred people tournaments and
(28:13):
you know our I think our bottom line for for
entries is about a hundred dollars, so we'll do anything
from a hundred to you know, infinity. Um. But we're
on a pretty pretty tough losing streak right now in
the past three days. Don't let them fully they win.
She wins, Yes, she wins, not me. Um. Yeah, I
(28:33):
mean she's she does the research, not as much as me,
but she just looks at their past game log. She
doesn't worry about the matchup, she doesn't worry about the names.
She can't even pronounce the names from the most part um.
And then I'm like, you know, don't pick this guy.
He's playing in coors, And she's like, why do I
care if he's drinking a beer while he's playing. I mean, really,
(28:55):
I don't. I could care less. After seeing her success,
would you say DFS is more luck or more skill?
I mean, it obviously takes a certain amount of skill
to especially be you know, with the guys that continuously
win here and here out, and you know, with as
much as we play with the big ticket items that
(29:16):
we go in, you see the same guys at the
top of the leader board. I mean there's this one
guy with his picture, his profile picture as a husky,
and every time we we enter in a lineup where
like there's that damn husky again, like every single time. Um.
But yeah, I mean, obviously it takes some skill, but
at the end of the day, you know, it's it's
(29:36):
basically just clicking the right name. And apparently my wife
can do that pretty good. So so me and one
of the other guys, a pictureless Colin Charles, we're discussing, uh,
formulating our own tfs, like analyzer like Rhoto Grinders does.
It turns out Roto Grinders has a lot more stuff
than I thought they did, and their TFS analyzer they
(29:56):
did actually a really really good job. But I don't
of if you use rod Grinders Draft Analyzer or any
other draft analyzers. Yeah, I use rodal Grinders because I
see them at the top of the leaderboard most of
the time whenever I'm in there. Do you pay for
the premium content? I don't right now, but I look
at you know I have, and you know, especially whenever
(30:17):
I'm on a losing streak and start to dive a
little bit deeper into the things that are out there.
So I'm assuming they just tell you if you pay
for the premium content, they'll just tell you pretty much
who to pick. Yeah, pretty much. But now if they're
picking the same guys, how's that work? I mean, of course,
you can always say, extack this lineup, you know, the
(30:37):
two three, five hitters are good, and then maybe you
do like a wraparound. But at the end of the day,
you always have to try and get under that cap.
If you're playing in draft Kings, and they'll give you
suggestions for a couple starting Pitchers. But you know, sometimes
I try and go off the wall a little bit,
like today I started Houser. That did not work out
(30:57):
very well. Um yeah, I mean you just you just
kind of have to build it the way, um, the
way that you think it's gonna play out. Like tonight,
I stacked Houston and I should have stacked Pittsburgh. It
happens like that. Yeah. Alright, So there's a little uh
tfs tidbit from Colin there. Do you have any picks
for the upcoming Days? This episode will hopefully be released
(31:19):
on Thursday, the seven. Uh for the upcoming Days, I
mean tomorrow is a really small slate um getting into
the weekend. So just taking a little look at the schedule.
You got Texas in Tampa Bay. That should be an
offensive show. Out Washington against Detroit Washington. I'd really like
to play a lot of their hitters and pictures as well. Um,
(31:42):
let's see out West, You've got Oakland and l A
the Angels Love Show. Heyo Tani uh, he's been you know,
killing it ever since he came off the d l
Um and then l A and and Colorado, the Dodgers
in the Rockies in course Field, I mean, you can
never go wrong with with stack and hitters and there.
But of course, for you plays on Friday, so um,
(32:05):
he might be a contrarian play whenever you go in
and set your lineups for Friday. So there's a few
there's a few games out there this week that are
pretty pretty good. So so here's a question I have
for you, and I'm looking at the bad everst pitching
matchups for tomorrow. Nolan Arronado is twelve or twenty one
against Ryo. You uh, Freddie Freeman, I have it right here.
Freddie Freeman is thirteen for fifty against Jacob the Ground
(32:29):
with three home runs. Now, obviously these guys have Freeman
Freeman's case, some success in Arnaut's case, a lot of
success against the top pitchers in the league. Right now,
are you in the ground, would you still roster Freddie
Freeman or Nolan Arronado Because in my opinion, I would
always stay away from those guys because they're facing the grammar,
because they're facing where are you? And those guys are
pitching so well, but then I always end up getting
(32:51):
burned for not having them in my lineup when they
end up hitting. Yeah, I completely understand the getting burned part. Um,
because every time you see a slate with Mike Trout
on it and you don't pick him, you know something's
gonna happen. So so going into this weekend, um, no
One Arnado going up against U, I think I'm gonna
stay away from. I really think where you has has
come out of nowhere this year and just been a
(33:13):
complete ace for that team. Um. Luckily he hasn't had
an eye l stint yet to slow him down, and
he's been completely mastering every single offense he's going up
going up against. So I'm probably gonna stay away from
Ronado and most of the Rocky sitters going up against him. Now,
Freddie Freeman and that Atlanta Braves offense is is pretty
stout as well, so that if I'm looking to do
(33:35):
a little bit of contrarian play whenever you've got the
ground going up against Rocca, which is gonna be a
great pitching matchup in itself. Um, you know, I love
putting a KUNI in love putting Freeman in. And if
I'm if I'm looking at the bottom of the lineup,
Albi's is there as well. I won't go out of
my way to roster some of the second hand names
in the Braves lineup. But if you know, if I'm
(33:57):
looking at the matchups and Freeman fits my roster construct
and I don't have a problem put them in. Yeah,
so just to play Devil's advocates, you see where I'm at.
I looked it up last week. I think Nolan Arron
out is hitting like four hundred against lefties and corps Field,
So I'm kind of like, it's a toss up. Do
I want to play in doing I want to plan?
But Collins writing the picture List DFS article for me
(34:17):
tomorrow that which is coming out on seven, the same
day as this podcast, hopefully. Um so you guys can
check it out. I don't want to spoil too many
of his picks here when you can read it there
at picture list dot com. Is first dfsrest article, first
article at picture lists dot com, first of many, hopefully
first of many. Um So we'll shift over the season
(34:38):
long play and look at the some closers, the closer
carouse Hell, I'll say in a couple of teams here,
and we'll start with Tampa. And right before we got
on the air, we were talking how Pagan came in
in the seventh inning. UH Castillo has heard on the
d L Alvarado is coming back soon. Long term? Who
are you going with there? Oh, it's funny you ask
me this question because in the Second Chance League I
(34:59):
did on NFB. See, I didn't draft any of the closers.
But Castillo is available after the first fab runs. So
I wasted a hundred and nineteen dollars on him just
to cut him this past week, and I cut him
for Alvarado. So all in all, I think I have
about two hundred dollars spent in the UH in the
Rays closing about seventy I think. So no thoughts about
(35:23):
chas Row or No, not long term, No, I think
the rest of the year. It's gonna be Alvarado's job
as long as he can, as long as he has
his personal issues behind him. I know he had a
few rough outings. He was kind of starting to lose it,
but he's gotten a nice little break. Um. It's kind
of like a mini I l stand. I mean, maybe
he needed to figure something out. Maybe what was happening
(35:45):
in his hometown was really getting to him. And now
that that's behind him and he's back, I think he
should take the job and run with it. And like
you said, before we came on the before we came
on air, Pagan came in in the seventh and blew
the safe and so I mean not really blew the save,
but he just kind of blew the game for them,
So um, that just kind of muddies the water even more.
(36:06):
So I think once he comes back, I think he's
got the job as long as he can stay healthy. Alright.
So the way we'll do this, I'll try and go
division my division here and get one tumultuous save situation
going on here and once in Minnesota. I guess, uh,
Taylor Rodgers did he get to save tonight? I believe
he got another save tonight? Yeah, he got another safe.
(36:26):
Tonight's tent of the year. And Trevor May and especially
Blake Parker kind of waiting there. I know a lot
of people still on Parker, not as many people in May.
I guess Taylor Rodgers the guy I want to get
the guy tone. Oh it looks that way, but you know,
with with the twins, they can kind of throw May,
Parker and Rodgers anyway that they want to, and I
(36:46):
think that that's what they'll do. The rest of the season.
But moving forward, I think Rodgers will have the most
same opportunities of the three, which is very strange whenever
you're talking, you know, a week or two ago with Parker,
I think he had ten saves come into this week alone,
and so you think, you know, he's probably the guy. Well,
now Rogers creeps up and now has ten saves of
(37:07):
his own. Um, so you know, in the beginning of
the year, I think one week he had three saves Rogers.
That is so everyone went crazy on fab for him,
including myself in a in a league where I punted saves.
Luckily I held onto him. So hopefully we'll be able
to see it out the rest of the year. But
I think may he might get a couple here and there.
(37:27):
H Parker a couple here and there, but Rogers seems
to have a good grasp on that position. Just while
we're on the topic of closers. I don't know if
you saw, um Colin Weatherwax main event Hall of Famer
Brad Boxburger got sent to the designated for assignment today.
Did you see that? Yes? I did, But you know
what he did what I needed them to do. So
I'll be forever grateful to Brad Boxburger. Maybe maybe another
(37:51):
closer sighting here. Tyler White is pitching. He's gone two
thirds of an inning, six earn runs, four walks, four hits.
Still out there. He's pitched a couple of times this year,
hasn't he if I'm not mistaken, Yeah, I mean he
has a twenty one here, right, So I don't think
he just got that. Yeah, coming into this game and
he's had he pitched in three games and he's done
(38:13):
a lot better than he's doing right now. Yeah, I picked.
I picked the right game to stack, just the wrong team. Yeah.
Fourteen runs for the Pirates, all right. Back to a
regular schedule programming the l West. I would say, Liam Hendricks,
who got to save tonight, is the man in Oakland
with Blake trying it out. And I know Justin Mason,
a guy friends and Fantasy Benefits, tweeted out that he thinks,
(38:35):
uh trying it's gonna be out longer than than they're
leading us on. Lu Trevino is waiting in the wings.
Next in line, Liam Hendricks, Romanos alias for the Mariners
who have disappointed me to no end, and Sean Kelly
and how so Robeless. This is this is a weird
group of closers, but we'll stay in Oakland here. Liam
Hendricks has got on. Yeah it looks that way. Very
(38:57):
disappointing since I went out of my way to draft
training in the main event this year. Um so yeah,
moving forward, I think it is Liam Hendricks. And I
was listening to I believe it was the fan Graphs
sleeper in the bust with Justin Mason, and you know,
it sounds like a shoulder impingement and you know it
might just kind of escalate from there, which is always scary.
(39:20):
So I think it's Liam Hendricks. For the rest of
the year. I didn't go out of my way to
get him in a lot of places. I actually made
a trade for Blake training in one of my Dynasty leagues.
While we're on the topic, because I don't have any saves,
I traded away Matt Carpenter for Blake training. I would
need to see the team's act and I have no saves.
(39:44):
So you're talking yellow Sinceel Machado Bellinger, So look at that.
I love it. So yeah. I mean in the Dynasty League,
I still think trying to might have a little bit
of value. Um. I don't think they just can leately
hand the reins over to a guy that was, you know,
a middling reliever coming in an opener. Didn't he start
(40:05):
the playoff game for them? Yeah? Our game? He started
game and pitch thinning, right, He's not a guy that
you know, has a long track record of saves. And
like you said before, Luke Trevino was looking like the
air apparent and I was actually rostering him as a
handcuff in my main event team. And you know, he's
just kind of blown up in the past couple of weeks.
So I mean, there's always a chance that Hendricks can
(40:27):
kind of just take this job and run with it.
But if he has the slightest hiccup and Trevino is
kind of pitching good today's pitching landscape, you just never know. Uh. Then,
al East, you have Luke Jackson with the Anthony suarezac
next to line, sar Jeromo and Nick Anderson next to line.
Edwin Diaz hasn't been the same end winds from last year.
(40:47):
Hector Nerris with a couple of guys next in line there,
Sean Doolo seems like the only the only solid option
there in Washington Uh, I don't know who you want
to go with here. Uh, I guess we talked about
Philly before we got on air. You said Norris was
kind of similar to who I can't remember off the
top of my head. It was kind of similar to
the twins situations. That's what I was here. Just go
(41:10):
anyway with it. I mean, they don't have the great
options that the Twins have, but they can kind of
just mix and match the way that they have. Um
the situation I kind of want to monitor in this league.
If you're looking for saves down the line, might be
in Miami with Sergio Romo, he should get dealt at
the deadline, and Nick Anderson has He started off the
(41:30):
year great, have a few bumpy patches, and now he's
kind of back to that dominant reliever role. So I
think if you're if he's available in some of your
leagues and you need saves the rest of the year,
he's the guy that I'm going out to target. Even
though they're not really gonna get many wins in Miami,
the offense has been greater or or you know, better
than we thought, so you know, there might be a
chance for for some more saves in the second half,
(41:52):
and even a guy like Tearan Guerrero could be a
dog horse for saves there. You want to go to
the al Central. We got a Craig We'll come back Thursday.
Here's obviously hater Vasquez, obviously Basquez to Two pretty big
ones are St. Louis Cardinals with Hicks out and the
Reds with Iglesias really struggling. Lorenzen has been getting some
(42:13):
saves lately, and I Glesias before we got on air,
gave up a couple of runs tonight. Who would you
rather roster at this point, Carlos Martinez or Michael Lorenzen. Oh,
that's a great question. Um, one has more competition than
the other, obviously with John Gant waiting in the wings
and Andrew Miller. But Michael Lorenzen or Carlis Martinez, Well,
I mean Rasciella Glecias has shown in the past that
(42:36):
he can be a dominant closer, and if they don't
deal him, then I would say that they both kind
of have the same amount of competition around them. Um,
I think with upside, I would go with Carlos Martinez.
I mean, the upside is is crazy huge for him
and I think for the past couple of years, whenever
he was going through his injury things, there's been a
lot of analysts that have been saying, just move this
guy the bullpen. Moved him to your closer role and
(42:58):
he can be a dominant for there. So I really
am looking forward to seeing him. I threw out a
couple offers to the guys that owned Carlos Martinez in
those leagues, and I did not get a bite. And
I don't blame them. I mean, this is a guy
that could take the job and run with it. Of course,
it's awful for Hicks owners. He was awesome to watch
on pitching Ninja's Twitter follow um, and you know, as
(43:21):
a younger pitcher coming back from Tommy John and in
a Bolton, you just never know how that's gonna happen
now or shape out. So yeah, it's brutal to lose him,
but yeah, I'd probably go Carlos Martinez. And for what
it's worth, a Glaciers Cira is up to three point
eight six, Lorenz and Zia is up to three point
We're down to three point one two, So that's something
to monitor to. Most people think that Gleasie is kind
(43:43):
of has a strong hold on the job, but it
might not be as strong as you think. I think
Tyler White should reach out to him to see how
you can play offense and pitch at the same time.
At LS, everyone's pretty slid here. You're expecting Will Smith
to get traded by the trade deadline, so I guess
said you might get Tony Watson saves in San Francisco.
(44:03):
Holland has been good. Uh way, yeah, that's another option.
Wade Davis has been bad. He gotta save today, so
that kind of helps him a little bit. Scott Olberg,
who is having a great season. You really just can't
predict baseball, um Kenmy Jansen obviously has a stronghold on
his job. So that's the closer carousel. And is there
anything left for us to talk about? Waiver wire ads?
(44:25):
Do you want to hit waiver wires real quick? Yes? Yes,
lots of waiver our ads so, um, most of my
waiver our ads are gonna be, um, you know, focused
more on the fifteen team leagues, more more deeper format, um,
a little bit a little bit more competitive. I'll go
out and say that a little bit more competitive leagues. Um,
So especially in my main event. I am in desperate
(44:49):
need of pitching. I mentioned this guy a little bit
earlier with Aaron Houser. Um, he has been dominant in
the bullpen for Milwaukee, kind of just as an unknown. Really.
I saw him getting the spot start today, looked a
little bit deeper into his numbers, and he's been really
great coming out of the bullpen for him. I don't
know if they're going to transition him into the rotation
(45:09):
full time or if he's just kinda be gonna be
like a long reliever or a quas a opener. But
he's a guy that, um, you know, I might be
throwing some spec bids that this week, just you know,
hopefully it sticks against the wall and he turns into
a rotation guy or maybe just a guy that stabilizes
my ratios. So what do you think about Houser? Yeah,
I mean you pretty much hit the nail on the
(45:31):
head there. At the very least, hopefully you can stabilize
your ratios for you. Another guy I wanted to tell
the listeners about was and two rookies. Actually I want
to speak about real quick, and I'm probably gonna butcher
his name like I always do. Kissing Herra. Uh. He's
been dominating Triple A since he's been best since he's
been down there in the PCL. He's up to uh.
(45:51):
He's home in multi hits in three of his last
four games, and his OPS is up to one thousand,
one hundred four. So he'll be back with the Brewers
soon and end the McKay. I don't know how much
you've been reading about Brendon McKay, but if the Rays
really want to make a push here for the playoffs,
I think I'll definitely be up in the near future.
And on Yahoo you could get him kind of the
same way they do Otani as Brendan McKay. They hitter
(46:12):
Brendon McKay the picture. He's only three percent on right now,
and Kesting is on, which I thought was interesting. Yeah,
those are two great names. Most of the leagues that
I planned don't have Kesting available. Unfortunately, I've still been
stashing him in a couple of leagues where I own him. Uh.
Completely believe in the talent, Completely believe in in the
guy himself, as long as he can get that. You
(46:34):
know that opportunity that a guy named Travis Shaw is
just completely taken away from him. I think he can
have a great breakout second half. And then McKay of course,
the guy that was a dual position kind of like
show Hey Otani guy with a lot of power um
at first base, but they kind of transitioned him into
a full time picture roll love the move. He's been
(46:57):
completely dominant in the minors and you know he's a
guy especially for the Raise, the way that they use
their pictures. I mean just think of like a Brandon McKay,
Colin post, Jalen Beaks, and then Alvaredo coming in at
the end of to close it out. Those are four
dominant lefties that are gonna be hard for any team
to hit off of. Yeah, that that would be ideal
(47:18):
for for Raised fans. I know, I see Yanty and
on Twitter all the time talking about just call up McKay.
He put up a call up Wander Franco today and
he had a raison it so that was pretty funny. Um.
Kevin Kermeyer, We've been talking about him on the show
for weeks now. He Homer It again tonight. He's up
to nine Homer's thirteen stolen bases, his averages around two
(47:38):
forty five, but he's hitting the ball harder than ever. Yeah, yeah,
very underrated. And one last guys JP Crawford, who is
only eight percent on the yahoomer and he is up
to uh three oh five. So since he's been back
from the minors, he's hitting three forty eight with sixteen
r b I s and his last eighteen games. So
(47:58):
he might not provide to stay this half for the
rest of the year, but I think it'll definitely provide
some some cheap value. He's third base, shortstop eligible and
yahoo and I don't know how what his ownage percentages
in the NFBC, but if you could get your hands
on JP Crawford, that wouldn't be a bad idea. Yeah,
especially if he's dropped or you know, if he's batting
in the second hole. Uh. You know, we talked about
(48:19):
it before we got on. He's only twenty four years old.
So this is not the type of guy that your
GM wants to go out and trade just because he
has that fix. He needs that fix. Um, he's only
owned in the NFBC, so he might be someone I'm
gonna go out and get. Uh So yeah, yeah, those
are a couple of guys. The last couple of guys
for me, um gonna be the Nelson Lamet, a guy
(48:41):
that's really been struggling on his way back from Tommy
John surgery last year where I drafted him, I thinking
like the fifteenth round, right before the news came out
for my main event. Yeah, completely stunned me. Um. So
his last start before this week, he gave up four
warned over five innings in triple A. But then this
(49:03):
past start this week, actually yesterday, he went, uh, let's see,
he went five innings, struck out eight, and allowed one run.
So he's a guy that could provide a lot of
a lot of strikeouts for you in the second half
of the year. But a thing I saw on Twitter
to day was where is he going to slot in?
Um And as an sp I mean, you've got Chris Paddock,
(49:25):
who who's on an inning's limit. You've got Logan Allen
who's been doing pretty good himself. Um, You've got a
couple other guys that are just kind of sitting there.
But I'm wondering where he's gonna slide in to that rotation.
But I do think he has a role once they
call him up, and then the last guy is gonna
be Dominic Smith. And of course, you know, being in
New York, I'm sure you've heard a lot of jokes
(49:46):
about Dominic Smith. But this is a guy that has
been playing the outfield. I know, hold your breath whenever
he's out on the out there on defense. But you know,
he's a guy that's gonna go. He's he went three
for three today before he got double switched on um
for defensive purposes in the outfield. But he's been on
a really hot streak lately. Guy that's gonna provide you
with first base and outfield eligibility. And it looks like
(50:09):
he's playing in the shadow of Pete Alonso. Might be
a blessing for him. There isn't as much pressure on
him anymore, and he's been hitting the ball hard. So
those are the three guys from me, Howser, Lament and
Donic Smith. You know, isn't an amazing how like we
talked about before the season, is this guy gonna play?
Is this guy gonna plays? Is kind of gonna play?
And it's time and time again. It's if the guys
are pure hitter and he get hit, they'll find ways
(50:31):
to get him in the lineup and everything works itself out.
Jeff McNeil is like the perfect example of that. Guys
weren't terested him because they weren't sure that is playing
time and he's just a professional hitter and what he
does is hit, and he hits and they give him
the playing time. There's somebody else I can't remember at
the top of my head that was kind of in
that Jeff McNeil's situation. I can't remember right now at
the top of my head. But it's the same exact
(50:51):
thing as McNeil. Oh, DJ and Mayhew. No one knewhere
DJL meant he was gonna play before the season started.
People are acting like, oh yeah, and we knew DJ
may was gonna do this. Nobody knew DJ may he
was gonna get these everyday at Pats until the Yankees
fifteen guys went down and d J may he's hitting
in the heart of the lineup. And now they're talking
about him from m v P on the radio here
in New York. I don't know if you heard that
(51:11):
talk yet. No, I'm not in New York. I'm glad
because I would have to laugh at that. But I
did see I did see on Twitter today it was
really funny. Dj le Mayhew, who was a Corps field
creation and cannot hit away from altitude, is now hitting
three three him uh Don Smith ninety five innings in
(51:33):
left field this season, zero defensive run saved, which is
not bad considering it's not in the negative. Yeah, which
was surprised by that number. Yeah. Last year at first
space he was negative. Last year he was negative five
defensive run saves and less innings in left field. So
that's a little bit improvement. Even though his his u
z r isn't where most left fielders are, but it's
(51:56):
improved from negative three point one negative zero point two,
So Dom Smith is going a little bit better in
the outfield. Other than that, this was your Fantasy Sports
Network Fantasy Sports radio debut. I'm sorry it wasn't in
a professional studio like me and Matter usually, and I'm
sorry I'm not gonna be here with us, but I
hope you enjoyed your time. Oh yeah, no problem. Once
(52:18):
I once I come up to New York, I'll definitely uh,
I'll barge my way into your studio so that way
I can have I'll just kind of take your seat
and you can sit in the corner with y'all's I
think y'all's producer. Um, yeah, I can try and figure
out a fantasy team if you, um, if you give
some some other people a chance and the main event qualifier,
(52:39):
then maybe I could win a main EventID and then
both go to the main event in New York. That's
how it's supposed to happen. Got the memo. No, I
think if you just get like a nice little pay
raise at your job, then maybe you can just join
me there. Man, alright, go follow Colin weather Wax at
