The lineup looks better with Matt Chapman, but that does not help the pitching staff out, which is Logan Webb and a bunch of question marks and what ifs.

Up as a mustat player Richie and queens what’s happening you’re on the roast he guys how are you great yeah I mean I guess I talked about Akuna I mean yeah Akuna has to be a mustat but I’m looking at the ction that you have here you have two players that

Play right now in New York and a maybe here and I want you to bring up those two players that we have not and one of the players we have not brought up which I’m very surprised about yeah I mean it’s judging and stto

Um you know I guess I see them a lot but I think stto is going to be a mustat this year especially playing in in Yankee Stadium and and Aaron judge and obviously atani is a is a is a musat so there’s a lot of guys I wish we had a

Few guys on our team guys I don’t think we have too many mustat guys um I wanted to touch on the Chapman can I touch on that yeah yeah give it to me give it to me yeah I mean look I talk to you guys a

Couple of weeks ago I thought the draft went a little bit better we picked up Hicks obviously we need some help you know with the pitching Beck’s got the aneurysm and I don’t know what win is but Chapman I don’t know the big difference between him and JD I mean JD

Was an allar the first half and then it got to where he could not handle 95 and above and I think Chapman was the same issue I think Chapman might have had a physical issue I’m hoping that’s not the case everybody throws yeah everybody throws 96 now you’ve got to be able to

Handle high heat you know so um do they does it make them better I I think absolutely I think we are maybe a b b b plus and I’m also hearing guys on the East Coast that that Snell is still in the picture are you hearing that out

Yeah we are I’ve the things that I’ve read was that a one-year $35 million deal Yankees Giants are all like kind of in that same ballpark with the quote unquote options and stuff like these other Boris clients have had I would love Snell because right now I’m looking

At this rotation it’s Logan web and then my Wild Card Kyle Harrison let’s put him to the side I’ll talk about him in a second Robbie Ray won’t be back until probably July Keaton wi I know he’s been hurt you got Jordan Hicks just Beck just

Went down just went down you got Alex Cobb who’s not coming back for a couple of months they need starters they need starters like desperately and I look at like now this kind of opens up the Kyle Harrison conversation like Kyle Harrison had an electric start last year in one of the

Games I don’t know if you remember it he went five or six Innings and it was it was Unreal he’s screaming as he’s yelling off the mound I mean he was fired up this is a local kid from De laau who you know has been touted highly

He’s been one of the highest graded left-handed pitchers in all of baseball we’ve been hearing about it I remember asking you I said would you trade it for tiny and you’re like hell no you and Willard were’re like no we’re not tra this guy for Otani knowing that Otani is

Going to be a free agent I don’t know much about the kid other than that he went to deasel and this is what we know he didn’t get stretched out much in the minor leagues they don’t want to waste his bullets or what whatever their their reasoning is if this guy emerges and

He’s a double digit winner this year let’s get he goes 11 and 13 Bonte right at 22 23 years old now we’re now we’re talking about something you know can this guy get through an entire season give me 185 Innings can can he show that

He can get you into the fifth and sixth inning every single time cuz Logan Webb LED baseball and getting into the okay now that may not mean a lot to people from back me l no that means a lot you can eat up Innings you can

Preserve the bullpen I I think we need more Innings eaters enough for the five in pitchers and oh this guy can’t face the RO he he can’t face a lineup three times no no no no no I need a pitcher who can go around a lineup three times

And go through a lineup three times in a game so like Robbie Ray is an excellent player he’s probably going to opt out if he can show any signs of Life at the end of the year when he comes back you’ll see he he’s a beast Robbie Ray is good

Um Jordan Hicks I think is solid he can do a starting he can be in the bullpen he’s really really nice Alex Cobb he’s at the end of his career we’ll see what he looks like coming back from the hip Logan Webb I know what I’m getting what

Am I getting from Kyle Harrison well he’s a wild card he is a big- TI wild card and if I can have him as my third starter who could eat up Innings now I’m starting to get I’m starting to warm up to Blake snell a lot more over the last

Week Blake Snell would be great as a because like like I’ve been up and down about I’ve been up and down now he’s a for Bai younga War winner biggest moment twice twice his biggest moment obviously he went to S Young last year and he won

One with Tampa Bay U so you’re winning to sa young in both leagues that’s freaking impressive that’s impressive and the numbers just pop out at you and his moment you know the one moment we all remember was him getting pulled from the World Series game against a Dodge

It’s like why this is my horse but you look at the numbers last year forget the one lost record 14 and N the guy struck out 234 guys in 180 Innings all right he ate up innings 180 Innings and he struck out 234 batters and he knows his division obviously playing in his

Division for the last couple years with the San Diego Padres he knows the Dodgers he knows he’s going to know the Padres he’s going to know the weaknesses there he’s going to know the Diamond Backs and he’s going to know obviously the Colorado Rockies get this guy even

If even if it’s a oneyear deal web snail okay so now I have one of the more imposing one-w combos in all of baseball I would say it’s the best in the division cuz you don’t know what you’re going to get with Walker coming back from an injury like you just

Don’t like who who like okay Musgrove and who Gore those are the guys like I don’t know man Darvish no I think he’s retired I think he retired I could be wrong no he not still on the roster I saw him pitching with this kid in the

Backyard was he pitching I thought he was in I saw a video of him yeah him and his K his kid’s like 16 he’s pitching in the backyard now that could be an old video but I thought he was retired could be wrong could be wrong could be wrong

There I mean I could be wrong about that uh right now now right now he’s not on a team I don’t believe he’s 37 years old uh I always liked you darish I know other people hated him I don’t hate him I just don’t think he got the most out

Of him uh see he was tipping pitches for many years August 31st he was dios with they bur bur his right elbow so he was shut down for the rest of the season so he’s still under contract with the Padre’s he signed a six-year $18 million extension look at the Dodgers rotation

Right why did they lose last year well it was mie Betts and and Freddy Freeman having quote unquote down Series in a short series and they didn’t have enough pitching you know they they lost urius they lost Walker ber for the year you know Kershaw isn’t the same guy now they

Got Yamamoto I don’t know what he’s going to be like let’s see let’s let’s see what it looks like you know and then I I look at uh you know Kershaw like I I think I kind of know he’s going to be a 12 game winner somewhere in that in that

In that area but Walker ber when you’re coming back from a devastating Tommy John like I just throw my hands up I I don’t know we’ll see Dustin may I don’t gin maybe he had year he had a good season a couple years ago couple years

Ago he was light out and he kind of came back and fell back down to earth here so we’ll see what the Dodgers always figur something out they moved off to Nova card because he’s he’s got nothing there but Dustin b is intriguing I always like ginger guard it’s a great nickname come

On you didn’t like that Ginger guard I’m R will say that it’s a great nickname isn’t that his nickname yeah I don’t know if it’s his Nick I just don’t feel C oh was that I didn’t know that was not the redheads get a little sensitive about that I apologize they

Do Fon got any problem with that no I don’t have red hair we work with someone that does I I’m not I know I remember we brought up red hair last time lman almost he cursed us both out right I think lman might be the most

High on on Kyle Harrison of anyone I know yeah that’s probably true I mean I don’t know how many other people you know who are high on him but I have optimistic with uh with Kyle Harrison that’s right they did the Dodgers did Trade for Tyler glass now so

They’ve got him oh yeah GL now with 10 GL now’s pretty sweet if he’s if he’s healthy totally forgot about that and if they get ber pack and they got Yamamoto and they got C damn they’re so loaded they’re so loaded but their Bullpen what’s up with

Their Bullpen still don’t have one yeah who’s their closer Bobby Miller bruis all G Gator all and a bunch of who knows I mean who Gator or grat PHS let him in uh say had a good year 2.05 ra 0.83 whip 24 saves um I remember people using them with fantas

66 strikeout 61 Innings not bad not great not bad I just joined a fantasy baseball keeper league with Craig sergeant and it it’s first keeper League ever for keep or for baseball yeah oh it’s the best I know I’m pretty excited but you can only keep for one year oh

See our rules are we keep three players and there’s a yearly designation on own so like one player you keep for three years what player you can keep for two years what player you keep for one year you rotate that player our league I think this is

Year we’re getting up on year 20 soon in our league actually K actually won it last year can you believe it uh believe it or not I am the system of this show I came in second Dr everything I’m hearing from my good friend rear in Alum Paul Simpson

Joe you need to put a diaper on Harrison 185 Innings as a goal give me a break Warren spawn pitched more than 5,000 this Ain 1930 and I love you Pablo focus on Shia tonight all right don’t worry about war SP Paul Simpson can hit the Baseline jumper he he’s an

Older man he he can still play worry about worry about celesia tonight don’t be worried about Kyler Warr give me give me freaking Warren when did Warren spawn die I gotta look I me come on man we’re talking never even watch Warren spawn pitch Paul simp you can’t be that old

I’m looking it up can’t come on Ward Spa so you guys Yer yday we’re talking about in 1921 the expectation that’s oh my God it’s really old that mean when did he retire when did he retire hold on come on Ward Spa when did he retire

Uh was it like in the 1960s last appearance 1965 when was Paul Simpson board I don’t know but I think he I think he graduated rearing in 71 I’m going top my head yeah so oh so he was around for war spot damn Maybe I’m Wrong Paul if if I made you

Too old apologize I apologize Paul you probably didn’t watch po respond well you didn’t see sa young could just give me like a Dave Stewart reference for a lot of innings pitched anyways Walter Johnson That’s Where It’s At there you go you guys were talking about yesterday the expectations for the Giants is

Playoffs yes right that’s that should be my expectations Monon playoffs I’m open-minded I I because the reason I bring that up right now is you’re talk going playoff I’m not going playoff what does it mean is I need to see a playoff no like it’s it’s Lucy no not with the

Giants we’re defin that only applies to the Warriors and the ners cuz that’s what they are about Champion tips banners

  1. I was at the bus stop the other day. Farhan pulled and over and asked me if I could pitch. I said I pitch in a 35+ amateur adult league…he said good enough.
