Summary

Jackson Holliday is getting the call, David Bednar blew another save, and the Royals keep winning! Fred Zinkie and Jeff Erickson cover it all and more! --- 00:30 - Jackson Holliday promoted! Let’s start a pod with some pod-sitivity!!! 12:30 - Here we go again: Framber Valdez to the IL. A few thoughts on all these pitcher injuries….. 16:00 - Spencer Arrighetti to start for Astros. Is he ready to help fantasy teams?… 20:40 - Fred’s free agent additions 23:30 - Apparently Elly De La Cruz is good after all…. 26:00 - In fantasy football, we see Zero RB. Could we see Zero SP in NFBC leagues next year, where managers draft 5-6 stud hitters and a couple closers before diving in and selecting 8-9 starters in the next 10-12 rounds? I know it’s too early to say that definitively, but we have some mid/late-round starters such as Tanner Houck, Sean Manaea, Shoto Imanaga, Garrett Whitlock etc. who are off to excellent starts.  33:30 - Chris Bassitt threw 115 pitches on April 9, but he will be fine since he throw 80 mph…. 36:30 - Royals start 46:00 - Worried about David Bednar after he gave up 4 runs today? 48:30 - George Kirby with another poor start… 52:00 - Ronald Acuna stole three bases, so he’s probably still good….. 54:00 - Reynaldo López 58:00 - Tyler O’Neill --- Vivid Seats Promotional Copy This MLB season, knock it out of the park with Vivid Seats and score great tickets to the biggest games of the year.

Holiday has gotten the call, Fred. How excited are you? I think we should make tomorrow a national holiday. That's how excited I am. Sorry, I couldn't resist. I knew I was going to say it. And then I just hated myself for doing it, but I had to do it. Yes. You're in the right place. You're in the right place. If I didn't do it, you would have the right place you're in the right place if i didn't do it you would have

0:55.0

yeah yeah um but yes i have jackson holiday in the uh a l tout wars league i've got them in a

1:02.4

other leagues yeah um i have to wait till he's officially called up tomorrow before i can actually

1:07.8

do my our midweek activation we do have a rule allowing for that.

1:11.1

I have to figure out which white sock I'm going to cut. Uh, so I've got that going for me too. But, uh, trust me, there are white socks to cut. I, it's either pop, it's either Nikki Lopez or brand, Brendan Schumachie that I'm going to cut to make room. Um, I think I can make it work either way in terms of the position. I think I'm going to cut shoemaki. It's worth noting, though, maybe a little bit more playing time for him and Nikki, because we got, Yohan Moncada got hurt today. So we'll see a little bit more about that. But anyhow, I'm super excited about Holiday. Heston Kirstad is probably coming up soon. You know, Kobe Mayo is going to be called up soon. They can't hold the mayo too much longer. Sorry. Not sorry. And, you know, even Kyle Stowers is raking. I mean, I'm sure you've been seeing these Norfolk box scores. They're just ridiculous. They're video games. they are um i did think so before the season

2:03.3

when you looked at projections for final standings on fan graphs and different websites and a lot

2:10.0

of them predicted the Orioles not to win the division and maybe they won't win the division i don't know

2:13.8

but they often predicted them be kind of in the 80s for wins and things like that.

2:17.7

And I was like, wait a minute.

2:19.4

2:25.6

That like when the Orioles, the Orioles first of all can replace players with better players at any time.

2:31.6

And then on top of that, when they have injuries, which will be inevitable

2:35.1

at points during the season, they can call up someone who, you know, is just as good or better.

2:40.9

You know what I mean? So the Orioles are the only team I feel like in baseball that, like,

2:45.6

at least on the hitting side is like, is so deep that they almost have a whole other team of right really ready hitters

2:52.9

that i don't know if the projection systems could really factor that in i don't know enough about

2:57.4

projection systems at fangrassings that on the standings to factor them in but like the orioles are
