00:00We'll start off with Cleveland.

00:01We've got Slade Ciccone starting Monday against the Rockies

00:06and Sunday against the Twins.

00:09So, naturally, these are two good matchups for him,

00:12provided that Cleveland doesn't make any significant upgrades or moves.

00:17But what I would say is for those of you who are watching

00:19and may be penciling in some stuff here for next weekend,

00:22got to be really careful here, George.

00:24I mean, there's going to be some moves here.

00:25Some things are going to change.

00:27Absolutely.

00:28It's going to be a – I mean, Gowan's going to be moved, I would think.

00:31Maybe Merrill Kelly.

00:33There'll be a smattering of guys that have moved here.

00:35So, yeah, you are going to have to watch.

00:37Listen, give me Slade.

00:39Give me Slade here.

00:40We already said Cleveland's playing better ball here.

00:43You're playing, you know, Colorado.

00:44We know they're not a good team, although they are playing better.

00:47You know, we'll go to the Rockies.

00:48We'll throw some flowers their way.

00:49The Twins can't hit, you know, not on any kind of consistent basis here.

00:53So, I'm going to like Ciccone.

00:55Oh, don't get me wrong, Craig.

00:56All right.

00:57The Guardians really can't hit either.

00:58All right.

00:59So, they are all their own issues here.

01:01You could lose 3-2 and not get your W, which, you know, in fantasy,

01:05the land we need unless you're in a quality starts league.

01:07But, yeah.

01:08Once again, like I like to say about a lot of these guys,

01:11if you have Ciccone on your roster and you're not starting him this week,

01:14why is he on your roster?

01:14Chris Bassett of the Toronto Blue Jays, they're red hot.

01:19I think you want to get everybody in on this.

01:21They play the Baltimore Orioles coming up on Monday.

01:25Kansas City struggling to score on Sunday, August the 3rd.

01:30Blue Jays are just playing good baseball, and I would assume that that's going to continue.

01:34To me, one of the bigger surprises to see them – is it the best record in baseball right now, George?

01:40I think so.

01:40Yeah, I think they got that last night.

01:43I remember hearing that.

01:44Let's see here.

01:45Yep.

01:46Best record in baseball.

01:47As you said, they don't lose.

01:48They just don't lose.

01:50And they're not the Blue Jays you would think.

01:51They're not bludgeoning people that's by hitting home runs, right?

01:54It's not what they do.

01:55They're actually playing good ball.

01:56They're moving runners over here.

01:58They're playing baseball.

02:00They're just playing baseball with enough home runs to survive.

02:02A lot of good – I mean, Addison Barger.

02:04Where did this guy come from?

02:05He's playing well here.

02:06We're not really getting a whole lot from Bichette.

02:08But Guerrero's having a good season, but not the power department.

02:11But he's getting – he's hitting the ball here.

02:13So, yes.

02:13As you said, forget Bassett.

02:16Lauer, if you had a two-star, we could be going for them.

02:18Everybody goes for Toronto right now.

02:20Playing too well?

02:22Scoring runs on offense, too.

02:23Get some points in those head-to-head leagues there.

02:26Logan Evans for Seattle has joined their rotation.

02:30Gets that A's game in Sacramento Tuesday and then Sunday against Texas.

02:36A little dicey, I would think, here.

02:39George, maybe some better options out there.

02:41But Evans has pitched well when he's been in the starting lineup there,

02:45starting pitcher.

02:47Nick Kurtz is hitting a home run on Tuesday.

02:49At least one, maybe two.

02:50No, I'm not doing – I'm not going – you had me tell you you said athletics,

02:56all right, in Sacramento.

02:57I'm not doing it.

02:58I don't – I don't know if I'm – Sacramento is quickly becoming Colorado,

03:02all right, where, hey, one of my pitchers has a start in there.

03:05I'm not doing it, not worth the aggravation there.

03:08So probably not starting Ebbets.

03:10Listen, there could be a chance that everybody else on my roster, you know,

03:13you have whatever pitchers, none of them are going – look all that great this

03:15week, and then I am going to start the two-starter and hope he doesn't get

03:18bombed here.

03:19But in a head-to-head league, definitely not.

03:22Rotisserie, a chance, but I don't want to.
