We've got a lot going on in the baseball world.

We got one of the best closers in baseball getting maybe some sticky stuff suspension coming a few minutes ago.

We've got one of the top prospects in baseball getting an 80 game suspension.

We were talking about that, ads and drops, all kinds of baseball stuff, all coming up next in the Rotterwire Fantasy Baseball podcast.

Happy Sunday night, everybody, coming to you a little bit earlier tonight on this Sunday night.

I'm Scott Jenstead, joined as always by Jeff Er ericson we are sponsored by draft king's pick six we appreciate them for that uh if you can rate or review the podcast if you join listening to us all year long year long time please do that leave a bunch of stars a nice comment goes a long way towards helping us out jeff uh how is everything going it was a it was a kind of a while the last few hours in baseball here. Anything happen? Yeah, crazy, crazy, crazy stuff. And of course, the big thing that happens happens at 701 Pacific time or 10.01 bid time, whatever it is. It's like the third time in the last four weeks. Something like that happened. It's crazy. And it's always closers. Always. It's so bad. So Edwin Diaz came in the game at 5-2 when he did his, came in. It was at Wrigley, so there was no trumpets running like that. But it looked like, for what we've seen, it happened like four or five minutes ago. But it looks like during the inspection or check-in with the umpires, they ejected them. So we're assuming, we've got some quotes during the podcast here. We'll let you know. But I'm assuming is a sticky stuff thing. And obviously, you know, losing the save and a five-two game sucks because that's an easy layup to say for Edmode. I mean, you get a basis empty three-run lead. I mean, you dream about those if you have a closer. But now, I mean, it's an automatic 10 gain suspension, too. And I would have, I would have done things a little differently if I had known that was not a spot I could use this week. Because, I mean, that was one of my nine pitchers this week in one of my main events. So I would alter things a little bit, make sure that I had someone that was, that I was comfortable starting. But yeah, it's rough. And if you get, this suspension, we're assuming that sucks for team owners, too.

It does. And even tougher is, we don't even know who's going to be the guy that replaces him.

It was Smith plus Deakman tonight because that's how it worked out. But in the eighth inning, you know, but we know that Garrett pitched the eighth inning in the past. It was they didn't really settle on one guy out of Vino and Deekman and Garrett all were kind of part of the picture. Smith might be part of the picture here too. I mean, but you never know when it's just like something like that where, you know, Diaz didn't even throw a pitch too. That was one of the things are so beguiling about the situation too. I mean, but you never know when it's just like something like that where you know, Diaz didn't even throw a pitch too. That's that was one of the things are so beguiling about the

situation too. And you and I are both have main event teams that need saves badly. And you know, it's just an avenue that wasn't open to us. And here's and the thing, one of the dumber things too for us is by the time we get to bid on a replacement, seven, seven games will be gone.

And that's, the funny thing with this is that dyes obviously was out with the injury and it was always kind of a pretty fluid situation when he was not there like we tried to get otto vino we tried to be reed garret like they've a lot at arms and kind of ended up being nobody i mean i don I don't remember. I'd have to look at the exact

save breakdown, but it felt like nobody really was got a windfall from that situation. No, it didn't. And I misspoke, by the way. They get two off days off days this week. Yeah, they're one of the, they're one of the three teams with five games. So they'll be, they'll be the second half or the first half at least in next week too, which I thought thought I heard, uh, you know, the manager complaining about, uh, no off days coming up and all that.

No, they got two this week.

And then they have a big stretch after that.

So they have their Yankee series this week.

So they're off Monday, two against the Yankees and off Thursday before they face Houston.

Yep.

So at least we'll get five games to bid on theoretically.

And there's no appeal to this too either.

As someone who has Diaz, though, I'd rather just get all seven. So at least we'll get five games to bid on theoretically. And there's no appeal to this too either.

As someone who has Diaz, though, I'd rather just get all seven. I don't have a seven game week this week, get seven done. And then I could use him next week. Now I can't use him next week. He's out two weeks for sure. No, I'm speaking as a non-Diaz owner that we at least have five games to bid on next week. Yep.

Or, you know, week and a half in leagues.

Like I got labor that has bids do. have five games to bid on next week. Yep. Or, you know, a week and a half in leagues.
