00:00All right, let's get to it here. Philadelphia Phillies on Monday night play here in South

00:04Florida. I will be on the broadcast Tuesday, so not for this game here, which is Mick Abel

00:11going up against Sandy Alcantara. This is a good matchup on Monday. Sandy pitching a lot better.

00:17Philadelphia clearly will have the advantage. They're a better team than Miami going into

00:21this game, but Sandy's looked pretty good. 29% roster owned. We're finally seeing

00:25the fruits of this draft pick come to reality this season.

00:30You know, I had a choice to pick up Abel or Mizorowski, and I took Abel.

00:37And I'll probably be regretting that a little bit. Abel hasn't pitched all that well in his

00:40last two starts. The reason I took Abel of Mizorowski is purely because this is before

00:44Mizorowski pitched, is I was worried about the walks of Mizorowski, right? Sure, he throws the

00:48ball 103 miles an hour. Doesn't always know where it's going, so I was worried about that

00:53if he was wild in his first start. That would be one start and gone here. I also like the

00:57fact that Nola was, well, I don't like the fact, but for my fantasy team, Nola got hurt

01:02again, so he wasn't going to pitch for a while. Abel is almost guaranteed a roster spot unless

01:06they call up Andrew Painter there. So I went with Abel, you know, facing Miami, of course,

01:10doesn't hurt there, the weaker offense. I wish he wasn't going up against Sandy. Then

01:14again, it's not the Miami pitching staff. I mean, I wouldn't be any happier if he's going

01:18up against U.V. Perez. These guys can all pitch there with Miami. They just can't

01:21hit here. So I went with Abel. So what I'm trying to tell you is, yeah, I think he's

01:24a decent streamer option this week. But like I said, his last couple of starts have not

01:29been good. And Miami is hitting the ball a little bit better right now. And Alcantara

01:32is pitching a little bit better. So maybe not the, maybe not the perfect start I thought

01:36it might be at one time.

01:38Chad Patrick of the Brewers, 23% roster owned, goes into Wrigley to take on the Cubs.

01:45Is Pete Crow Armstrong and Kyle Tucker playing in these games? And say a Suzuki George?

01:48If so, they want to pass this week.

01:53Survey says no. All right. Not taking Patrick. Not just the wrong week. I do have some curiosity

02:00about Patrick. Really, the whole Milwaukee pitching staff as a whole. The team's playing

02:04so much better. But no, not against the Cubs. All right. You mentioned Tucker, PCA, Suzuki,

02:09Hap, Horner, Bush. They're all, Swanson, they're all hitting here. So I'm going to say no thank

02:15you. Jack Leiter of the Texas Rangers and his high strikeout totals go up against a very

02:21surprising George fading Kansas City Royals. What's going on with the Royals?

02:27That's a fair question. They're not hitting. All right. They're just not hitting. The Yankees

02:30beat up the pitching staff a little bit the first couple of games there. Reagans is also

02:35on the IL again here. I mean, I do it once again. Deeper leagues, yeah. I'm curious here.

02:42But Leiter's not that guy. All right. He's not that guy. And I'd still wonder, Craig,

02:47if his future is bullpen, maybe even closer. You know, I just think that's what his future

02:51might be, where his value could be for the team here. But they need starting pitching

02:54with all the injuries, Bradford, Iobaldi, and such here. So I'm, boy, it's going to come

03:01out what else I need here. What else is out there? I don't, this is not a definite, no

03:05or definite. Yes, it's a, it's a league need, team need for me. But if you're expecting

03:09big things, I'm not expecting that either. It's not a definite no or definite yes.

03:13So it's a definite maybe, right? Pretty much. That's where that, that's where

03:17that lies there. Oh, fair. Tomoyuki Sugano is going to be on another team in about a

03:22month from now. He was a nice pickup for the Orioles this offseason and has been

03:27their best free agent surprise, I guess, George, right? Fair. At Tampa Bay this

03:32week, Rays are pretty good. Yeah, I think he has been a pleasant surprise here.

03:38All right. Tampa Bay is not a definite start, by the way. This is a team that's

03:41playing, I mean, they came back and beat the Mets last night. So annoying. The one

03:45time I root for the Mets, they lose here. Sugano could help another team. I don't

03:49know if I want to go at Tampa Bay, you know, smaller ballparks, time, running

03:52field, built up to the Yankees there. Tampa's hitting the ball. Well, Tampa's a

03:56team I think you can pick on as far as streamers are concerned, but not when

04:00they're hitting it. Right now, they're hitting. This might change over the next couple

04:03of days, but we're doing the show Saturday morning, two games before

04:06deadline. Right now, I'm going to say no. Ball is flying out there, definitely

04:11during the day, too. Super hot in Florida. Jose Quintana of the Brewers at

04:15Minnesota, 18% owned. As long as Buxton doesn't hit a 500-foot home run, you

04:20could take a shot here. Exactly. It's a lineup you can pick against here. So you

04:25can take a shot, but you do need to prepare. The things may not go well. He's

04:29not going to blow teams away here. He is the definition of a pitcher, not a

04:32thrower. He needs to hit his spots, move the ball around the zone, up, down, in,

04:35out, change speeds, and all that here. But yeah, you can change. Listen, I think

04:40Sagano's the better pitcher at this point in their careers here, but I'd rather go

04:43with Quintana this week.
