Hey everybody.

Welcome to the Rotowire Fantasy Baseball podcast.

I'm Scott Jansden.

Please leave a bunch of stars, say something nice about us. It would be greatly appreciated. Jeff, it's Sunday night. We're in late May. We get the season in full swing. How is everything over there? Everything is fantastic. Everything is awesome. No, things are good. And that's before I looked at my baseball teams. We had a very, very good soccer weekend. My daughter's team won. They're a rocket ship of a team. That's four tournaments in a row, and my daughter scored the winning goal. She's not much of a goal score. She's had like three during this cycle, but it was a good day. She's like Draymond Green. Just makes it when it matters. And then my adult soccer league team won the championship, too. And I had zero to do with it. I was going to say, how many game winning goals did you have? I, 0.0.0.0. But that's okay. that's not my job, Scott. How about a game winning hockey assist or something like that?

Yeah, I'm a defender. It's okay. All right. Well, you saved goals. That matters. Yeah.

Life, yeah, everybody matters. Yeah, it was a good day.

We mentioned my Warriors are up 3-0.

We mentioned on the gaming golf podcast.

If you don't listen to that, we had a winner this week with Justin Thomas.

Almost had 150 to one winner with Mito Pereira, but just blew it at the end. But at least it turned out well. But we are here to talk baseball. We got a lot going on, some big fab bids. Jeff, to take a look at week eight before we do anything else. I got another big week. I think that the first missed week of the season has made.

There's a lot of busy big weeks.

We have 13 games, 13 teams with seven games a week. We do have a couple teams with five games, the White Sox and Miami. We got a lot of action in the ALE East. Jeff, the Red Sox. I think we left them for dead last week. We're talking on the podcast. one five in a row making up a little bit of ground slowly in the in the ale east i'd say quickly

not on the yankees but because the yankees are really good at

baseball except today not so much but um did you ever think we'd be at may 22nd and the blue jays

would have the least run scored in the division no especially when you consider the ballpark in bal. Yeah, the Orioles and the Js both have 147 runs scored. It's been weird in Toronto. They just have like kind of low. Boba Bopo Chet broke out a little bit yesterday. Tiosker has not done much since he, since he came back from his injury. You got to figure they're going to go at some point, but it's been, it's been weirdly rough there.

They, they've given up more runs than they've scored. And I think, you know, baseball is a long season. They're going to get hot at some point. But I think everybody's ready for that to happen because a lot of people that drafts, a lot of Blue Jays, really high in fantasy drafts. You know, and the thing is, I want to say, well, they're missing, you know, Marcus Simeon, but they're not exactly missing Marcus Simeon, Bob. I mean, that's one of the big stories. Marcus Simeon is missing them, I'm afraid. Yeah, Sergio Espino has actually been more productive. But did Semyon Homer this week? He didn't, did he? I don't think he did. I think we're still at zero homers for seven that is,

I know, Did Semi and Homer this week? He didn't, did he? I don't think he did. I think we are still at zero homers for Semen.

That is, I know it's still early, but not that early. That's pretty wild, especially if you drafted him in the third round, zero RBI, zero home runs, 9 RBI, is 180. That's a big chunk of the season. He's done nothing hard. We talked about him a bunch, but it's not seen to be getting better.

I don't know when it's going to come around.

Do you think that there's anything actionable about it, though, other than maybe trading for him in a trade league? I know in the NFPC, you can't do any trades, but, and you don't really play trade league. So I'll answer my own question then basically do you buy low i guess uh it depends how low

is a cop-out answer but yeah i'd probably i'd probably i'd probably i'd probably trade before i'd get a
