Send us a text#Yankees Aaron Judge is now on pace for 56 home runs which would surprise exactly nobody!  Judge also has a #MLB leading 39 RBIs which over 162 games would be 156 RBIs. That hasn't been done since A-Rod did it for those same Yankees in 2007. But the real question is can Judge maintain his +.400 batting average? Doubtful but fun to watch! #Pirates CF O'neil Cruz leads MLB on pace for 60+ SBs. Can he keep that up? He has a new manager now that Derek Shelton has been let go. Bud Black of the #Rockies was also dismissed this weekend. Probably doing him and the franchise a favor as the team has been historically awful and had a historically awful week! Max Fried has a MLB league leading ERA at 1.04. He's in place to start the ASG if this keeps up. But how about #Royals Kris Dubic? He's had an excellent start to the season and is largely forgotten behind Cole Ragans and Seth Lugo. #Tigers Skubal has rounded into form but the loss of Casey Mize will hurt the Motor City kitties. #Dodgers Shohei Ohtani has been routinely amazing such that it's no longer notable!

Fantasy Baseball Live! – December 8, 2024Segment 1 – News and Notes1.The A's stunned the baseball world, or at least me, by spending money. They signed Luis Severino for three years and $67 million. I wrote a long post about him for our Patreon members. What are your thoughts on the signing?a.I've seen comments on Justin's 365 page that he's on the Do Not Draft list. Do you agree?2.The Orioles were busy adding some right-handed power, signing Tyler O'Neill to a three-year 49.5 million.a.What does the Orioles outfield look like?b.O'Neill has some nasty splits. Last year with the Red Sox, he hit home runs, but 16 of them came against LHP in 156 PA and 15 in twice a many at-bats against RHP. Plus, he hit .317 against LHP and only .208 against righty.c.They also add Gary Sanchez to a one-year deal for $8.5 million. His splits are there two, but not as severe as O'Neill3.The Giants make a splash by signing Willy Adames to a seven year, $182 million deal.a.What are your thoughts on this deal?4.I hate to discuss rumors, but John Heyman, who is a shill for Scott Boras, is reporting that contract discussions are approaching $700 million. Crazy stuff. Final call…where does he sign?5.The Mets signed Clay Holmes for three-years and $38 and want to make him a starter. Maybe they are taking a chapter at how the Royals developed Seth Lugo into a starter. What do you think?Segment 2 – Fantasy Baseball Questions of the AL East1.Boston Red Soxa.Triston Casas – 2025 stat line: HR, BA and RBIb.Who would you rather draft and roster for 2025: Ceddanne Rafaela (#172 ADP) or David Hamilton (#467 ADP)?i.If it's Hamilton, are you worried that one of the big prospects will steal playing time away from him?c.Does Yoshida get enough at-bats to warrant a roster spot? His ADP is 534d.Tanner Houck (#212 ADP) and Kutter Crawford (#251) pitched well last season. Who would you rather draft?e.Give me a sleeper in the organization (minor or majors)2.New York Yankeesa.Jasson Dominguez and Dylan Crews are going nine slots away. Who would you rather own?i.Jasson Dominguez stat line: AB, HR, SBb.For all the heat Giancarlo Stanton takes, he's had four seasons of 25 home runs in averaging 110 to 120 games. Last season, he hit 27 in 114 games. Is the consistent power worth the low 200s average and diminished RBI/runs because of lack of playing time? Do you take him in the 20th round and pair him with someone else to play the other 40 games he'll miss? Together, you could have a 30/90 player that you get late.c.Who is least likely to be in the starting lineup on opening day (DJ LeMahieu or Trent Grisham)? According to RosterResource, both are slated to be starters.d.Clarke Schmidt put up great numbers last season – 93K in 85.1 IP and a 2.85 ERA. He's a cutter/sweeper guy and both are pretty good pitches. His xERA is 3.78. Is this someone you are interested in?i.We will look at where he's going and pitchers around him. He's going in the 15th round and is the #90 pitcher off the board – 70 to 75 starter.e.Give me a sleeper in the organization (minor or majors)

The Royals improved their win total by 30 games... what role did analytics play in the Royals run to the playoffs?Rany Jazayerli (Co-Founder Baseball Prospectus/@Jazayerli) and Soren Petro (Sports Radio 810-WHB, 810whb.com/@SorenPetro) welcome Royals Vice President - Assistant General Manager/Research & Development, Daniel Mack to the Pod.- What role did analytics play in signing Seth Lugo and Michael Wacha?- How do the Royals handle their pitchers?- Do the Royals value OBP?- How can analytics guide the Royals through this offseason?- What do the numbers say about Jac Caglianone?- How analytics helped Bobby Witt Jr.? - Rumors have the Royals talking Singer for India.

Segment 1 – News and Notes1.The Rays will play their 2024 home games at Steinbrenner Field in Tampa. It's hard to say exactly what the hitting and pitching effects will be, but Steinbrenner Field has always benefited offense.a.Will you make draft changes on Rays players based on this information?b.Not to be outdone, the Orioles announced they would move back the left field fences (after cutting the big hole). It should benefit right-handed power.c.Back to Tampa, apparently, their new stadium deal is off – again. I have no idea what this means, but a potential move out of the Tampa/St. Pete area is back on the table.2.Wander Franco got into more trouble. I'm no attorney, but those holding Franco in Dynasty Leagues…it's pass time to give up on him. It would take a miracle to see him play in MLB again.3.Award Predictionsa.AL ROY – Colton Cowser, Luis Gil, and Austin Wellsb.NL ROY – Jackson Chourio, Paul Skenes, and Jackson Merrillc.AL CY Young – Emmanuel Clase, Seth Lugo, and Tarik Skubald.NL CY Young – Chris Sale, Paul Skenes and Zack Wheeler e.AL MVP – Aaron Judge, Bobby Witt Jr., and Juan Sotof.NL MVP – Francisco Lindor, Ketel Marte, and Shohei OhtaniSegment 2 – Fantasy Baseball Questions of the AL Central 1.Detroit Tigersa.Spencer Torkelson is being drafted as the 20th first baseman off the board – after Michael Busch and before Nate Lowe. Are you as high on him at this draft slot as you were last season?b.Javier Baez – over/under 400 ABsi.If a lot less, will they acquire someone or give the job to Trey Sweeney?c.Parker Meadows was my dark horse for AL ROY. Was I a year early?i.2025 stat line: AB, HR, SB, BAd.Jackson Jobe's current ADP is 95. I thought it would be higher. Interested:i.2025 stat line: IP, K's, ERAe.Give me a sleeper in the organization (minor or majors)2.Kansas City Royalsa.Vinnie P. had a nice step-up year in 2024, with 19 home runs and a .264 batting average. He is currently the 12th first baseman off the board. Is that too high, or do you like the spot?i.Over/Under – 25 home runsb.Maikel Garcia did not have the power upswing I thought he would have, and his .281 OBP is problematic. He is going as the 17th third baseman off the board. Is there growth here, or is he just a light-hitting 3B/2B with speed?i.He still hits the ball hard, but there just isn't any leverage with a 49.5% ground ball rate.c.Seth Lugo will get CY Young votes, but nobody is buying it, as his current ADP is 167 (69th pitcher off the board—52nd starter). Would you take him as your number three starter?d.Kyle Wright missed the entire 2024 with shoulder surgery. I haven't seen much of an update, but he's nearly free in drafts (665). Is it worth a gamble in a Draft and Hold League?e.Give me a sleeper in the organization (minor or majors)3.Minnesota Twinsa.The Twins team's talent is excellent. However, it's a problem when your top three players are Buxton, Correa, and Lewis, all of whom can't stay healthy. Do the Twins try to move one or two of them, or cross their fingers and hope they defy the odds and stay healthy?b.2025 stat line for Carlos Correa – AB, HR, BAc.Is Brooks Lee ready for a growth year?i.2025 stat line – AB, HR, SB, and BAii.His current ADP is 431, and while he's only SS eligible on the NFBC, that would make him the 35th-second baseman of the board. Interested?d.Joe Ryan's current ADP is 101. He is the 41st pitcher (30th starter). Would you rather have him as a #2 or #3 starter?e.Give me a sleeper in the organization (minor or majors)Final Questions1.Who wins the AL Central2.Three teams made it to the playoffs in 2024; how many do you see making it in 2025?

The Mets are now one game away from the NLCS. Gio is confident that the Mets will win, but he knows tonight is going to be close and not like last night. We said after that regular season that Pete Alonso needed to do something in the postseason and he definitely has. Boomer said he is rooting for Aaron Judge in the playoffs and needs him to have a breakout game tonight against Seth Lugo. We also talked more about the firing of Rob Saleh and how the Jets have looked unprepared on offense. The defense has been fine. Boomer thinks the Jets should be able to move the ball and score a lot of points against the Bills defense. Boomer wants to know if Saleh was really escorted out of the building without being able to talk to the team. Jerry returns for an update and starts with the sounds of the Mets beating the Phillies including Marte's 2-run single to make it 4-0. Bryce Harper gave props to Sean Manaea for his performance. The Padres lead their series against the Dodgers 2-1. Jerry has reaction to the Rob Saleh firing from the Al & Jerry Postgame Podcast, BT & Sal on WFAN, the Joe Benigno podcast and ESPN's First Take. Shannon Sharpe put all the blame on Aaron Rodgers. Jerry plays ‘Who's Voice is That?' In the final segment of the hour, Gio heard the audio of host on host crime and asked for Boomer's reaction. Boomer said somebody on the station takes themselves way too seriously and can't take ballbusting and ‘stabbed the home team in the back'.

Hour 1 Boomer called last night's Mets win, ‘one of the best games they've ever played'. The momentum is clearly on the Mets side right now. Boomer is also loving Mark Vientos and his clutch hitting in the playoffs. Gio expects the Mets to win tonight, that's how much confidence he has in the Mets. Right after the show yesterday, Rob Saleh was fired from the Jets. Boomer previously mentioned that if they lost in London, somebody was getting fired. Gio said this feels like more of a mess now than before he was fired. Boomer talked about the tension on the offensive side of the football. Their offense lacks creativity and there are players on the offense that don't seem prepared. If all the problems are still on the offense, all of the issues are still there with firing Saleh. Why did Woody Johnson let him start the season if he didn't believe in him? Jerry is here for his first update of the day but first Boomer wonders when Davante Adams is going to become a Jet. Jerry starts with the sounds of the Mets beating the Phillies including a Pete Alonso HR. Nick Castellanos said he knows the Mets don't want to go back to Philadelphia. Clarke Schmidt talked about getting the start tonight for the Yankees. Jerry has audio of Woody Johnson talking about the firing of Saleh. Jeff Ulbrich said nice things about Saleh and said everyone is to blame, not just Rob. Joe Benigno was on a podcast and talked about Saleh wearing the flag of Lebanon on his shirt in London and thinks maybe that had something to do with his firing. The Cowboys had a player that sprained his nuts and Jerry Jones was asked about that. In the final segment of the hour, Gio is getting ‘scuttlebutt vibes' but he has to get all the details before he can go on air with it. Grimace took the 7-Line to the Mets game last night. Spike Eskin had a message for NY sports fans where he called us all losers. Hour 2 The Mets are now one game away from the NLCS. Gio is confident that the Mets will win, but he knows tonight is going to be close and not like last night. We said after that regular season that Pete Alonso needed to do something in the postseason and he definitely has. Boomer said he is rooting for Aaron Judge in the playoffs and needs him to have a breakout game tonight against Seth Lugo.

Boomer said somebody on the station takes themselves way too seriously and can't take ballbusting and ‘stabbed the home team in the back'. Hour 3 Phil Simms joins us in his usual Wednesday spot and we started with the firing of Rob Saleh. Phil said Jeff Ulbrich is ‘the opposite of Rob Saleh'. Simms said the Jets offense might be the worst he has seen so far this season. We also talked about the Giants upcoming Sunday night game against the Bengals and how they looked last week in Seattle. Phil said Daboll is getting better game by game the way he camouflages things. Jerry returns for an update and starts with the sounds from Citi Field and Jesse Winker hitting an upper deck HR in the fourth. The Yankees play in Kansas City and Derek Jeter said that maybe it's g ...

   He just couldn't do it.  The calm, reflective presidential Donald Trump owned the first 20 minutes of the debate with a nervous, dry mouthed Kamala Harris.  It looked like the beatdown was on.  But nobody could predict the precision Disney Corp,  owner of ABC News and best friends with the DNC, would demonstrate to produce the rest of this broadway show.  It was not good for Trump as he took the bait.    Seth Lugo is once again the hottest pitcher in baseball as he notches his 16th win in dominant fashion at Yankee stadium completely shutting down the Bronx Bombers in a 5-0 win.    And Colonel John Cluck, Commander of the 139th Airlift Wing in St. Joseph joins us to to talk about the Thunderbirds appearance this weekend at the free www.stjairshow.com AND how young people can get trade school or college paid in full just for working with Missouri Air National Guard.

Boomer has a gift for Gio and it's some sort of Vikings hoodie. Boomer wonders if we should give Daniel Jones some slack for coming back from his injury earlier than we thought he would and he's playing with a bunch of new guys. Gio said he lost the benefit of the doubt because he has been bad for most of his career. Boomer thinks Rodgers and the Jets will bounce back this year and that Rodgers will have a good year. If he doesn't, Jets fans are not going to like his weekly appearances with McAfee. Gio thinks the Jets negativity is too high considering it's week 1 and they lost to the defending NFC champions. Jerry is here for an update and starts with the sounds of the Yankees getting shut out by Seth Lugo and the Royals. The Mets also lost to the Blue Jays, 6-2, as David Peterson had a rare bad start. Aaron Rodgers was on with Pat McAfee and Jerry has the clips. Carl Banks talked about the Giants performance. Jerry Jones talked about money curing any ill feelings during contract negotiations. In the final segment of the hour, there was an odd interaction between Barstool Eddie and Dan Bernstein at The Score in Chicago.

Today is the 23rd anniversary of 9/11 and we opened with our thoughts on the topic. We also talked about the importance of sports right after that and how it brought people together including the Mike Piazza HR. Gio couldn't believe how some of the Jets fans on air here were so negative, considering how positive they were last season as soon as Rodgers went down. This week they play the Titans and Boomer said they are a better team than people think they are. The Jets are a favorite on the road and that's because of the QB in Tennessee. They can't start 0-2. They now play a string of quarterbacks that aren't great. Jerry is here for his first update and starts with the Mets losing to the Blue Jays as David Peterson had a tough night on the mound. The Yankees also lost as they were shut out by Seth Lugo and the Royals. Benches cleared last night in Philadelphia between the Phillies and Rays. Aaron Rodgers was on with Pat McAfee and said to come along for the ride but if you jump off now, don't come back. Joe Benigno was not happy with the defense. Chris Russo said Saleh will be fired if the Jets are 1-4. Carl Banks said LT thought they could have grabbed 22 of the Giants' legends and played better Sunday. In the final segment of the hour, Jerry asked Eddie about smelly teenagers on the Warm Up Show.

In the final segment of the hour, there was an odd interaction between Barstool Eddie and Dan Bernstein at The Score in Chicago. Hour 3 Phil Simms joins us and Gio said Phil is very muscular. He's all jacked up. Phil was at the game along with the other Giants legends and said the Vikings looked better, faster and very well coached. Phil said Daniel Jones was making decisions way too fast. Phil also gave his impressions on Aaron Rodgers' first full game as the Jets QB. He was disappointed in the offense that they didn't throw the ball down the field enough. Phil thought Tom Brady did well for his first time doing a game on TV. Jerry returns with an update and starts with Aaron Rodgers on with Pat McAfee talking about the Jets not having the ball for enough time in week 1. The Yankees were shut out by the Royals. The Mets lost to the Blue Jays and are now tied with Atlanta for the final Wild Card spot. Patrick Beverley talked about playing in Israel and he said it's paradise everyday and people worry about him but he said it's great. In the final segment of the hour, somebody hung up sports leagues magnetic standings on the wall and it looked odd. Boomer thinks it looks ‘cheap and dopey'. Gio said there are a lot of guys in sports talk that don't want to grow up. Gio said Evan and Sal are still holding tight to their childhood. Hour 4 During the commercial break, Gio took down all of the magnetic standings that were put up on the walls at WFAN. Boomer thought they looked cheap and dopey so Gio tore them down. We also talked about Michael Kay and John Flaherty bickering in the booth and people thinking they had a problem. ...

   Nobody has ever won three Super Bowls in a row and the Chiefs quest to become an all time legendary dynasty starts tonight at Arrowhead.  I'll share my thoughts on how the Chiefs can win this game and what the Ravens may pull out of a hat to try to stop KC.   The Royals get a really, really big win while everyone else loses Wednesday night behind the arm of Seth Lugo and the bat of Tommy Pham.  It's go time and the Royals look destined to be a road wildcard team.    The odds of winning the White House are dropping every day for Kamala Harris as we've seen a net 12 percentage point change in Trump's favor over the last week.  You know the in fighting is taking place over whether giving America and the media the silent treatment is a good thing for Kamala.   At the same time, Trump attacks debate host ABC News in a town hall in Pennsylvania.  Trump reminded us that ABC News, in order to keep Trump voters home, had a poll in 2016 showing he was 17 points down in a race he won.  How did we forget that?   And our Final Final is another example of bi-polar Dems being totally confused.
