from our good friend fred zinky coming up next on the rhodowire fantasy baseball podcast

0:11.0

hey everybody welcome to Hey, everybody. Welcome to the Roto Wire Fancy Baseball podcast. I'm Jeff Erickson here with Fred Zinky. Fred is all, you know, Fred is so oftenly called the, uh, the trading guru and fancy expert leagues. He's like beloved character actress Margo Martindale. He is to trading what Margo Martindale is to character actresses there. I almost got that line right. But oh, well, here we go. Fred, what's going on? How you doing? I'm great. Actually, I was going to say even though the Blue Jay stink, but they're playing the white socks right now so they'll probably be okay for a few days then we'll remember that they

0:57.2

stink so yeah that was that was wild on sunday um you know it just uh i i tweeted out like

1:05.3

because there is uh one of the beat registers is just given an update on the game and i go check out

1:10.3

the the replies to that where they fell behind two nothing just the misery the doom and gloom I'm like is there a fan base matter right now than the jays and then like metz fans are like hey you know hold your hold your beer here and all that sort of stuff but you chimed in you're like no unless it's the unless it's the Maple Leaf fans, which, yeah, I can get, too. Yeah, I think, I think that the Jay's fans are compounded by the fact that they're also mostly Maple Leafs fans. So they've been, like, doubly disappointed in May, right? That the Leafs got knocked out again in the first round. And then at the same time, the Jayays were showing that this isn't going to be probably

1:45.1

a good season. I don't get Mets fans, by the way, that we stumbled on this totally. I don't get

1:50.4

them because I feel like the Mets said late last season that this was not going to be their year.

1:56.8

That like they would like be competitive, but not they're not going for it until next year like

2:03.0

I feel like the Mets said that and then they went out and they didn't sign the best free agents like

2:08.0

2:14.1

mouth is not that the Mets don't spend but I don't. The Mets said this isn't going to be our year.

2:18.4

No, I'm with you.

2:19.7

I, it's 100% agree with you.

2:21.2

And that's my point that I made.

2:22.6

Yeah, they keep whining.

2:23.5

Like, they keep whining and being like, our team's not that good. And I'm like, they told you. I know that they didn't think Edwin Diaz would be this bad.

2:16.3

Like there's within the team, there's players like we talk Lindoror

2:19.8

2:21.6
