Brought to you by Winbet. Hey, everybody, welcome to the Rotterwire fantasy baseball podcast.

Jeff Erickson here with the man that is higher on Stephen Kwan than anybody else in the fantasy baseball industry.

He is Fred Zinky.

Fred, what's going on?

Well, other than watching Stephen Kwan get on base over and over again, not much else. I watch, actually, as we're recording, my Blue Jays are playing the Yankees who gifted the Blue Jays and out at the end of the first inning by, and this was, I thought was really nice to them. Maybe it's Josh Johnleton doing a favor for his old team, but he stopped at third base completely. Let the Blue Jays gather the ball and then started running home so that they could easily get him out of home plate. I thought it was really nice of them. Yeah, it was. You know, it's funny because it's like everyone, you're going to love the way Josh Johnson plays. He may hate him as a person, but you love him as a teammate until he does that sort of sort of type of thing. I think that was a bit of a third base coach mix up. It could have been. I'm not going to really put it on Donaldson. Well, my Reds had their own base running foibles. Kyle Farmer was trying to steal a base, kept his head down, can of corn fly ball to left field, got slid in the bag, didn't realize until too late that there was a fly ball and got beat back to the bat. I got a routine fly ball. So the Reds were supposed to be done with that because Jesse Winker was one of the biggest practitioners of two plans last year. The Reds had a lot of them last year cassianos was another

usually there are eras of aggression this was just an error period and that that's frustrating to

see head down is one thing but i guess he didn't uh he didn't hear hear the ball hear the ball get

hit so to realize like i guess he was so focused on stealing that base, he didn't hear the crack of the bat.

Yeah.

And hey, oh, wait, what's that sound?

All the noise in Cincinnati.

I've heard that sound before.

With the excitement in Cincinnati, it just drowned out all the sound while coming off the bat.

Or with such quiet contact, I don't know. I'm trying to find some sort of reason that was really was such quiet contact i don't know i'm trying to find

some sort of reason that was really bad yeah i i don't know i even quiet even even even fly balls

like you can hear them pretty well if you're sitting down near the field on a game yeah i doubt

the crowd was drowning it out either yeah uh not i don't know. Did you see the, I'm sure you probably

saw it on Twitter, the interview with Phil Castellini, who's like the son of the owner, and they're

asking about, you know, what's going on with the team right now? And his comment was, well, where else are
