Happy Sunday night, everybody.

Welcome to the Rotowire Fantasy Baseball podcast.

I am Scott Jensen.

Join us always on Sunday nights by Jeff Erickson.

If you can please rate and review the podcast, we'd help.

That would help us out a lot.

We also want to thank our sponsors to the podcast, Sling.

We much appreciate them for that as we go along here. Jeff, how is everything in your world? This is a crazy week of fad bidding. There was a lot of money spent across a lot of leagues. Yeah, there sure were. Every week, it seems like we said. Last week, I think it was monstrous. The week that you covered with Ryan Bloomfield, it was monstrous as well. And the hits keep on coming.

It's great.

I did not have too many big spends this week, mostly because I got outspent.

But that's okay.

It's really fascinating.

And the funny thing is I spent more time, I think, on Fab today than I have in any other

given Sunday this year.

I just had more time available to me, which was nice. Yeah. We'll talk about we get to Fab, but there were like, you know, there were three or four pitchers that were very popular, you know, some of them, how owned they were on each league were a little different. But it was definitely a definitely some popular bidding. But talking baseball right now, Jeff, the, the National League is crazy right now. There's seven teams that are better than four games over 500 baseball. Six of those in the NL, one's in the ALE, just the Yankees there. Five teams playing over 650 balls so far. The Padres, the Dodgers, the Braves, the Yankees, and Jeff are Reds. Our Reds, let let's go, although I lost it. But still, hey, you're allowed to lose one game to the Tigers. It's okay. But yeah, it's really kind of fun to see. And part of that has to do with the fact that some of the teams that are expected to do well are not doing well, too, which is also the Mets,ies the astros the red socks all off the terrible start so far um you know it you figure like

okay you have one of those teams that'll be like have have your season from hell like the brays

did last year but to have all four of those teams be in that shape the blue jays for that matter

at least they've won a couple recently but yeah you know two in a row as a matter of fact, but they're having a really rough start to at 12 and 15. Yeah, it's pretty wild to see that. But you're right about the National League, which means there's a lot of bad teams in the National League as well. Yeah, it's funny. The funny thing is two, the funny thing is two of those are teams who wouldn't have thought so. There's only two teams that are worse than three games than a 500, but they're 10 games under our race. Both the Mets and the Phillies, 10 and a half out on August or on April 26th. That's just a brutal starts of the season. Yeah, it is. It is. It's, it's wild to see it. For the, the Phillies, I mean,

I had my reservations about the Phillies because their age is an issue. The fact that they,

they struck out in a lot of their free agent pickups, you know, they didn't really improve

that much. They just replaced Castellanos with Adelis Garcia. They didn't replace Ranger Suarez with anybody with the experience. They, they were starting, they were purposely starting Taiwan Walker. I mean, that, that speaks a little bit, you know, they, they were raising this week. You know, as laugh, as mediocre as Andrew Painter has been, And it was laughable to suggest that Walker was going to keep him out of the rotation. I think that's kind of funny. Much like it's laughable that, you know, barring a collapse on Peyton Tolly, that Brian Bayo would keep him out of the rotation. But we'll get to that. We got plenty about Red Sox related chatter coming up here. Worst, second worst run differential in baseball is the Chicago White Sox. They're minus 29, a rough start after 28 games. The Philadelphia Phillies minus 54. I just, it's amazing. And they're not, you know, that's with Harper having a good start to the season. Schwabre being pretty decent, not hitting for average, but still hitting for power, but they're getting nothing from like, you know, Bryson Stott and Alec Bohm. You and I both liked Boehm coming in this season, at least before we found out about him suing his parents. Crazy. And then firing his agent, you know, then there's like some, there's, there are bigger things here than you and me, Scott, but it's a mess.

It's really a mess with the Phillies right now and the problem is i don't see a whole lot of relief
