| 0:00.0 | Football. It has its ups and downs. There's the players who kiss the badge and kiss the club goodbye. |
| 0:05.3 | Right after you've splashed out 100 quid to get their name on your kit. And oh, the ailer striker who always sticks it in Rose Ed. |
| 0:12.2 | The good news is the Ladbrooks Acker gives you auto insurance, free bets back and big odds boosts. |
| 0:17.1 | So whatever else lets you down, it won't be your Acker. It's a gaffer of an ACA from Ladbrooks. |
| 0:21.8 | 18 plus online and mobile minimum mods apply maximum 1 to 3 10 pound free bets per customer per day. |
| 0:25.8 | Up to 50 pound of boosted odds, restrictions and T&Cs apply. Be gamble aware.org. Welcome into the cycle. Part two of the week. We are talking some by-lows and sell highs. We're also talking some waiver ads that Mayor and I think you should be looking at, Mayor. Let's dive right. And we will start where we always do for this section with our favorite buy-lows, who you got for us. |
| 0:53.3 | So my by-low for this week is Christian Walker and it's a |
| 0:58.0 | little concerning because he's an older player and with an older player who's off to a really |
| 1:00.8 | slow start you always worry is this more than a slow start is this kind of the beginning of the |
| 1:06.2 | end and for Christian Walker I don't think so I think there's still a lot of production to come. |
| 1:12.6 | The one thing I noticed while kind of researching this is that his bat speed looks fine. |

| 1:25.5 | you might see like a decline in bat speed there. |
| 1:27.2 | But his bat speed looks fine. |
| 1:29.7 | I just think it's kind of like a new, new situation, new team, new ballpark, new everything. |
| 1:35.5 | And he's just kind of like off to a slow start. |
| 1:37.8 | And I think he's going to turn around. |
| 1:39.4 | I think you're going to probably still end up with close to 30 home runs and an average around 250. |
| 1:45.2 | And I think you can buy really low right now because there are, you know, I've seen on our |
| 1:49.3 | Discord and in the comments that people are talking about dropping Christian Walker. |
| 1:53.5 | And so if you want to drop them, please go ahead and I'll pick them up. |
