Jackson Holliday is getting the call, David Bednar blew another save, and the Royals keep winning! Fred Zinkie and Jeff Erickson cover it all and more!---00:30 - Jackson Holliday promoted! Let’s start a pod with some pod-sitivity!!!12:30 - Here we go again: Framber Valdez to the IL. A few thoughts on all these pitcher injuries…..16:00 - Spencer Arrighetti to start for Astros. Is he ready to help fantasy teams?…20:40 - Fred’s free agent additions23:30 - Apparently Elly De La Cruz is good after all….26:00 - In fantasy football, we see Zero RB. Could we see Zero SP in NFBC leagues next year, where managers draft 5-6 stud hitters and a couple closers before diving in and selecting 8-9 starters in the next 10-12 rounds? I know it’s too early to say that definitively, but we have some mid/late-round starters such as Tanner Houck, Sean Manaea, Shoto Imanaga, Garrett Whitlock etc. who are off to excellent starts. 33:30 - Chris Bassitt threw 115 pitches on April 9, but he will be fine since he throw 80 mph….36:30 - Royals start46:00 - Worried about David Bednar after he gave up 4 runs today?48:30 - George Kirby with another poor start…52:00 - Ronald Acuna stole three bases, so he’s probably still good…..54:00 - Reynaldo López58:00 - Tyler O’Neill---Vivid Seats Promotional CopyThis MLB season, knock it out of the park with Vivid Seats and score great tickets to the biggest games of the year.
