Marcus Semien is our first buy-low candidate.
00:02
I have zero interest, but George, your thoughts.
00:05
First of all, it was fantasy baseball in 89.
00:07
Fantasy football in 87, so I'll give myself a couple more years.
00:11
When I graduated high school, go figure.
00:13
A little story there, by the way.
00:14
The only reason I started playing, my friend came up with the idea.
00:17
Didn't even ever even heard of it.
00:18
I was a Cowboy fan.
00:19
He's a Jets fan.
00:20
They both sucked.
00:21
So we needed a reason really to get into football.
00:23
He came up with the fantasy, and I ran with it.
00:25
So that's how we started playing fantasy back in 87.
00:28
87, yes, on loose-leaf paper, by the way.
00:30
That's how we did our stats and our standings and everything else.
00:33
I still have those books in my attic, by the way.
00:35
Pull up Joe Montana and Jerry Rice for you.
00:38
They were always the top picks.
00:39
Put them on Instagram.
00:41
I think people would love to see those.
00:43
Not my handwriting, you wouldn't, let me tell you.
00:47
As for the – you mentioned here, and by the way,
00:49
I do the same thing as you, Matt.
00:51
All right, who's playing Colorado?
00:53
Who's playing the White Sox?
00:54
Who's playing Miami?
00:55
Those are going to be my parlays.
00:57
All right, let's go.
00:58
You know, the price will be minus $2.95 or something silly like that.
01:01
After that, you bring up something interesting.
01:03
While I wouldn't put Texas in that category, I do in a different category.
01:08
Unders.
01:09
We know they can't hit, so we're looking for unders here, right?
01:12
Whether it be first five under, team total under, game total under here.
01:17
So that's what we're doing here.
01:18
All right, Marcus Semyon, buy low.
01:21
I'm not willing to go there yet, all right?
01:23
Because remember, he wasn't good last year either.
01:25
I think this is just a hot streak.
01:27
That being said, I don't think he'll be as terrible as he was the first, you know,
01:30
six weeks of the season, seven, eight weeks of the season.
01:32
He can't be.
01:34
All right, you and I could do a better job swinging a bat than he could the first couple
01:36
of weeks, the first two months of the season here.
01:38
So I don't think he's a buy low here.
01:40
I don't.
01:40
I don't want him on my team.
01:42
But I do think he'll play better than what he, you know, I say he just can't play worse.
01:46
I don't know.
