It is Sunday night.

That must mean this time to talk some fantasy baseball.

The Reds are on fire.

Jeff Erickson is not here, but we have a special guest wearing a Reds hat.

Find out who that is and everything else going on in the baseball world.

All coming up next on the Rototo Wire Fantasy Baseball podcast. I'm Scott Jansdid, usually joined by Jeff Erickson. Special guest this week. Toby, Batflip Casey, as a great crazy, has agreed to join us. So looking forward to that. If you can please rate or review the podcast, that goes a long way towards helping us out, help you find the podcast, all that good stuff too. Toby, how are you? I appreciate you jumping on. I know that everybody's going to, everybody's going to be happy to have you here. One of the nicer guys that plays fantasy, one of the better fancy players, and one of the smarter fancy players.

So I'm looking forward to learning from you today.

Yeah, well, thanks, Scott, for having me here.

Happy Father's Day to you and to all the dads out there.

And yeah, I must say that was a very professional intro, finding the way to incorporate

Jeff being out and the Red Tat into the equation. So we've, it's pretty rare, but every once in a while

I nail one. It's like one in 20. Usually I fumble over my words and freak out. But yeah,

happy Father's Day back at you too. I appreciate jump on.

I know there's a lot going on. So that's, it's even, it's even more good, more good stuff there. I wanted to, I wanted to jump in by, I kind of switch it up below. I want to talk about one of your teams here. I know that I didn't, I didn't have you on because you're doing so well this year. but as I flip on here on the Rotowire online championship on the NFBC site,

that's essentially the 12 team contest. It's a massive contest. There are, try to scroll all the way down there, 2,500 teams in that contest. It's a huge contest, 350 entry with a huge grand prize. What's the grand prize in that? Like 150? When is you? 150, yeah. You are your second overall right now.

I had a big day to day gained about 500 points on Doug Roth, who we do know. He hangs out in Vegas, the drafts. But how are you feeling about this team? It's June 18th. You know, I usually like, if it's April or May, I'm like, yeah, standings don't matter. They start, they matter at this point. we're, you know, what are we 40-something percent away through the season.

How are you feeling about this team?

I know you mentioned off air that you lost a gromm on this team. Pretty awesome that you're up here. But how do you feel about the squad that's in second overall? Feeling pretty good? Yeah, you know, I'm feeling pretty good about the team. I mean, it's early like you mentioned. We still have, you know, a little over three months to go in the season. So there's a lot that can happen. I did lose DeGrom. I was really hoping that he would somehow come back. And even if I could get 40 to 60 innings out of him, I was really looking forward to that. So that's been a little bit of a bummer. We've got some injuries that are hitting the squad a bit, but I'm really excited to be up at the top. I mean, I'd be lying if I said that I

wasn't excited to be there. So it's just a matter of trying to maintain and, you know, focusing on

winning the league for sure, but also focusing on how do I improve my team and looking at kind of where I am in the categories and how I can improve from here on out so that I have a little time. Yeah, I was going to say, you know, what point of the year do you start to really focus on, you know, this is a team that has a chance for the overall. You're looking at overall stats yet. I think for me last year, you know, I think everybody knows.

I've talked about a bunch.

I finished pretty high in the main event. It was up there for most of the summer. Most of the summer. I think it was about this time a year where I really started to look at overall. Like, where am I failing here? Because like, you always want to win your league. but you know you get to this point a lot of the money goes in the overall you get to the point in the season midway through here where you're way up there in the overall
