Head to head leagues get the spotlight today on the rotel wire fantasy baseball podcast

guy denbrowski from fanistics will be joining me jeff erics coming up next

everybody welcome to the Roto Wire Fantasy Baseball podcast. I'm Jeff Erickson here with Skye

Newmorski from Fantistics, Fancy Baseball Insider. We are brought to you by the good folks from

Home Run Forecast and Draft King's new pick six app. uh sky welcome to the show congrats on being in

first place in tout wars head-to-head how are you thanks man i'm doing great how about you doing well

uh we got a lot of news to deal with too in addition to all of our head-to-head talk so let's just

jump right into it big series in new york baltimore new York. The Yankees lost yesterday, seven, six,

and extra endings. But it was Garrett Cole's first pitch, first start of the season.

Big outing there, big to get him back. Oh, no question about it. It's pretty amazing that

they've been able to be as successful as they have without their obvious ace. You know,

the emergence of Louise Heel and some other guys

pitching a little bit above expectations like Clark Schmidt has been great for them.

All the talk that I've seen about Cole's outing last night was that, oh, yeah, he looked

absolutely normal.

I'm not so sure about that.

I think he's still building up.

Velocity was down a little bit, not a lot of swing and miss, not a lot of chase compared to normal, some hard contact. But in general, I think I'm pretty bullish on Cole. I think that he's healthy. I think he'll be all right and probably just get stronger as we move toward the end of the season. Yeah. And you know, he wanted to stay longer into that game. You know, he begged to start the fifth inning, gave up the blooper, took him out after that, like, okay, what did that teach us? Nothing. It was just a bloop hit. And then, of course, you know, next battered homers after he's pulled. So he gets stuck with the extra earned run on top of that there. But still, yeah, if you have Cole, you probably used them. And you're definitely using him going forward. Oh, two starts next week. I think even though he's still building up, you definitely use him. And he was so ticked because it was said Mullins on a high fastball that plooped into center. And that has happened numerous times to Cole. And he was fuming when he got to the dugout

but absolutely he's he's a competitor that's just how he is so absolutely Aaron judge got hit by a

pitch on the hand on Tuesday sat out yesterday interesting there is a point I think in the seventh

inning where they had the bases loaded and uh instead of bringing judge in the pinch hit they used

Jemai Jones first pitch pop up
