Welcome to the Rotowire Fantasy Baseball podcast. I am Scott Jensen. Join, joined as always on Sunday nights by Jeff Erickson. If you can please rate Irby the podcast, we really appreciate that. Jeff, we're into May. We're getting to the bulk of the baseball season here. How's everything in your world? Everything's good. In my we want not in my world, everything's good.

0:38.7

Maybe not all my fantasy baseball teams, but that happens sometimes. Uh, I am increasingly

0:43.3

frustrated with a couple of certain players, which I'm sure will throw in asides every

0:47.4

once in a while. Uh, but yes, uh, it is, uh, life's good. Let's let's get rocking though. We got a

0:54.1

later start tonight. We got a lot of injuries to talk about. Man, way too many. It is, life's good. Let's get rocking, though. We got a later start tonight. We got a lot of injuries to talk about. Man, way too many. It's brutal. But let's talk about some players first. Matt Olson. Are we talking vintage Matt Olson right now? He's got 11, 11 home runs hit 293, K rates down in the low 20s now, 18.8% barrel.

1:12.0

You know, I think you and I talked to the preseason, like is that, is he ever to get to that 2023 season when he, you know, 54, 139? Everything else has always been good, but that one kind of stuck out like an outlier. He's starting out, starting out like 2023 right now. Sure is. uh you know and you know the thing is that you're going to have the you're going to run a lot of

1:29.6

variants with matt olson in terms of now sure is uh you know and you know the thing is you're going to have the you're going to run a lot

of variance with matt olson in terms of like you know in terms of uh just like the batting average

1:44.7

him 275 and 40 homers would be a hell of a year we know streaks and slumps happen um and he's on a heater right now let's enjoy it while at last yeah he really is uh one of my favorite players obviously when i was uh when i was written for the a he was that he was a main cog there for a while, but, uh, you know, I love Olson.

2:01.0

So it's been fun to see.

2:02.5

It's the last couple years have been good, not great. And I think that from what I've seen, I'm watching a lot of the bats. Like I said, strikeout rate down a little bit, still walking a good amount, hitting the ball hard. I feel like, I feel like he's pretty locked in right now. He is, he is. And they need it because, you know, the funny thing is about the braises.

2:17.9

I was kind of down on them going into the season a little bit there.

2:20.9
