Hello and welcome to episode 1041 of the sleeper and the bus. It is Friday, April 15th. I'm your host Paul Spore. Join this morning by Justin Mason Justin. Happy Jackie Robinson Day. How are you?

I'm doing well. This is one of my Saturdays of the year. Nothing like not being able to figure out what players which on the field. It's it's amazing. Like a real test. Just room for number 42 and exactly a real test of how well you recognize players. I will say with Matt Chapman gone from Oakland. It will help in and Mark canop because Mark canna Sean Murphy and Matt Chapman all look the same.

And it was always confusing with all three of them. So now we just have Murphy. So that part helps. But, you know, obviously a lot of other teams. If you don't know the players that well, it can be a little bit like, who is that? Who's that? Who's that? Who's that? But it's a great day. It's a great day to celebrate. I got my Jackie Robinson. Shersey on my Brooklyn. That's a pretty sick Jackie Robinson. Shersey.

I mean, as much as I don't like the Dodgers because I'm a Giants fan and I am wearing a blue, you know, my blue friends of fancy benefits sweatshirt in honor of Jackie Robinson Day. That's a pretty sick setup you got.

Appreciate it. I really like it. And I kind of wear every April 15th, even even the COVID year when shit was going completely a skew, April 15th. Got to break it out.

We got plenty to talk about today. Not a whole lot of news and notes. Honestly, just just one that I'll put back on here because it's not super actionable except if you play daily leagues or NFBC where you can change your lineups for the weekend. Jonathan India pulled up with a hammy.

David also suggested that he could play Saturday, but that means he's out today Friday. Are you sitting Jonathan India in weekend lineups with NFBC or daily lineups. Obviously you can take him out today and then decide. But what are you doing in NFBC with Jonathan India?

Yeah, I told him out of my lineup. You know, I mean two games maybe one game. I guess the odds are potentially. Yeah, against the Dodgers. I just I figured just safer to make sure I'm, you know,

the last thing you want is take a zero when you don't have to, you know, we're all going to take zero from time to time. So don't force it and risk taking another.

Yeah, exactly. That's really where I come out as well when you have somebody like like Jonathan India here and it just doesn't look like.

There's only he's going to play at least the one game and then they're going to have to revisit it.

They're going to have to revisit it on Saturday. I just don't see the upside there. I was really going to use that moving right now. We are looking at maybe some COVID situations.

And that's just had Mar canna and Brandon Nimo. So you can take them out for the weekend. But I, man, I really hope that we don't kind of start to see a wave.

And that becomes another thing that we have to, that we really have to deal with. So right now we're monitoring it. Obviously you can always crop up kind of at any moment. But are you majorly concerned here or hoping it's just an isolated situation.

But also remember that players can be put on the COVID I L, even when they haven't tested positive and that they can come back really quickly.

So just tuned. Yeah. So really want to kind of keep an eye on these situations. Don't think it's guys on the COVID I L. He's not going to play because then he might be in the next day.

Because teams are allowed to until they get a positive or a negative test, put a guy on the COVID I L just to open up another roster spot. So this is something that people kind of forgot about from last year.

So we'll be seeing that as well guys who are just sick and have COVID like symptoms or have been in close contact that get put on the I L for a quick amount of time in the back.

And then there'll be the ones that obviously have COVID and are going to miss time. So just be very careful when you read these reports and try to find if they look or look to see if they tested positive or if they had COVID like symptoms.

But exactly. So, you know, again, for this weekend with like Brandon Nemo and Mark Canha, you could probably sit them because they should miss at least Friday.

But it might not be a situation where they're out a substantially a substantial amount of time because like you said, sometimes these are these are quick turn turn rounds.

Part of me, I know it's very early in the show, but I got to go get the dogs.
