0:00.0	Ronel Blanco threw a no hitter.
0:03.8	Mike Trout hit one that hasn't landed yet.
0:06.1	There's pitcher carnage everywhere.
0:08.5	And we got a lot more to talk about here on the Roto Wire Fancy Baseball podcast. Hey, everybody. I'm Jeff Erickson here with Fred Zinky.
0:28.4	Welcome to the Roto Wire Fantasy Baseball podcast.
0:31.0	Our podcast is brought to you by the good folks at rival fantasy, vivid seats, and home run forecast.
0:37.0	Welcome back, home run forecast.
0:38.4	You heard from them last year.
0:39.9	So a lot going on in the fantasy baseball world,
0:42.8	including our first no-hitter of the year last night.
0:45.8	Ronell Blanco blanked the Toronto Blue Jays,
0:49.2	much to Fred's chagrin, I'm sure.
0:52.2	So let's just jump right out on that.
0:53.7	30-year-old Ronell Blanco starts throwing more changeups, throws a no hitter. Great success story, huh? It is if you're not a Blue Jays fan and you didn't have to sit through that. I only sat through five or six innings and then I gave up. So since Bowden Francis pitched so poorly, was he in any of your lineups last thing? Out Wars, Al Tal Wars, of course he was there. I can't bench a two-star starter and
0:54.9	in Tal Wars. Of course he was there. I can't bench a two-start starter in Tout Wars, even though they're two bad starts, but I still did. I still started them. I have him in two leagues and I benched him in both. One is Tout Wars draft and hold. But see, you're a mixed league. That's different. It is, except in draft and hold, like I was really tempted to use them because sometimes later in
1:29.9	the season, you kind of run out of starting pitchers.
1:32.0	Yeah.
1:32.1	So I was in, I was tempted, but I just decided not to, which at least for one start. We'll see where the second one goes. First start, it turned out to be the right idea. but let's not let's get back to mr blanco who blancoed the blue jays last night yes boy
1:29.7	am i turning you into me i Let's not, let's get back to Mr. Blanco, who Blancoed the Blue Jays last night.
1:45.0	Yes.
1:47.5	Boy, am I turning you into me? I love it. I love it. We're not even two minutes in and I already have my first dad pun. Yeah. So I can tell you, okay. Nickleson, Jeff, there. I told you I had a Ronell Blanco story, which isn't that much of a story, but like a lot of
2:03.7	people listening will be able to relate to this a little bit.
