| 0:00.0 | Greetings, everybody. |
| 0:08.0 | Welcome to the Rotelwire Fantasy Baseball podcast. |
| 0:10.8 | Jeff Erickson here with Fred Zinky. |
| 0:13.3 | We are excited to talk about today's podcast. |
| 0:16.3 | It's tough hitter drops. |
| 0:18.2 | It's going to be a tough spot here and some of our leagues there. |
| 0:22.4 | We're looking to make our pickups. We have that slumping hitter. Is he starting to lose some playing time? Is he getting buried in the bottom, towards the bottom of the batting order? We discussed what to do with those guys, all that and more here today. Fred, how you doing? I'm good. Yeah. You know, we'll talk about hitters a little bit later on, but I will say that these are |
| 0:41.3 | tough decisions on Saturday. |
| 0:43.0 | I built a cue to get rid of Alec Bohm. |
| 0:45.6 | I was like, anyone, anyone but Alec Bohm, I just can't do this anymore. |
| 0:49.4 | He hit two home runs and then I destroyed the queue. |
| 0:52.3 | Yep. Yeah, that's like, never mind. |
| 0:54.1 | Did I say I was going to get rid of it. Never mind. It's funny you say that because she and I run our main event team together here. And we've been the last hour or so we've been talking what to do because we got a Christian Yellich back today. A little surprise on that. Yeah. We picked up Bryce Eldridge over the weekend, and that's |
| 1:12.3 | going to be like a total just waste of money. We didn't spend that much on them at least, but still, |
| 1:17.8 | it's annoying. But we're deciding, do we bench Bome or do we, or start Yelich or are we riding |
| 1:23.3 | with Bum? We're going to ride with Bome these first three days, seeing if maybe Yelich gets a day off |
| 1:27.6 | with these first three games back. You know, sometimes they ease a player in, you know, after coming back. |
| 1:33.7 | It's a little dicey of a call, but I want to see if I can build off the Bome two homer game. |
| 1:40.5 | Fun fact on Alec Bome. Now it's turning into an Alec Bome podcast already. Already. He homered on opening day and then not again until the two homer game on Saturday. Yep. That's how dire it's been in between there. I don't know how many runs he drove in. I can look actually, it's pretty much four, five, six, so many drove in 12 runs, I think, in between those in that stretch of about six weeks or so. Also, didn't wear pink on Mother's Day because he's suing his parents right now. Fun fact. Fair. I'd say if you're suing your parents, probably what you wear on Mother's Day is the least of your issues. But, you know, Getty homered twice on Day. So. Yeah. No, he homered on Saturday. |
| 2:19.3 | Oh, Saturday. |
| 2:20.3 | You're right. |
| 2:21.3 | You're right. Yeah. No, he goes like, I'm getting that all out of my system. I'm not homer on Mother's Day. No, no. Can't do that. Given her the satisfaction. I shouldn't be sarcastic about it. it's actually like a very sad situation yeah for sure yeah but all right let's jump right into |
