00:00The Mets have Clay Holmes making two starts.

00:02He'll start at Baltimore and at Kansas City.

00:05And everyone's like, well, wait a second.

00:07This is not that bad.

00:08Well, we haven't gotten to the other names yet.

00:09But I think that this is one, George, that he's probably not going to be available in most leagues.

00:15So you're probably going to have to start him regardless.

00:17Yeah, I think he's starting to go.

00:18You're getting a little bonus here.

00:20He was supposed to have two starts this week.

00:22But the rain out on Tuesday forced the Mets to play with doubleheaders.

00:25So he doesn't start Sunday against the Yankees.

00:27He'll start for the Mets here.

00:29The only negative here is that they're babying him.

00:32You know, they're worried about the innings with Clayton Holmes.

00:34Remember, he only pitched, what, 70 last year with the Yankees.

00:36He's already passed that with the Mets here.

00:38So he's generally five and fly here.

00:40So it's the only thing you're worried about there.

00:41But even so, he starts with my fantasy team.

00:44All right, Jose Soriano of the Angels playing some pretty good baseball.

00:48Surprising a lot of people this season.

00:49Soriano faces off in two tough environments here, both at home against Texas and Arizona.

00:57Oof, I mean, both those teams need some wins here.

01:00What do you think about Soriano?

01:02I mean, you sort of get one good start, one bad start, right?

01:05Arizona can be a problem.

01:06We know they can hit Texas.

01:07Not so much, all right?

01:08They've been a offensive doldrums all season long here.

01:11That being said, seen any breaking out of it a little bit here.

01:14Maybe, maybe Marcus Semien's found out, figured out how to hit now.

01:18Corey Seager's playing well.

01:20Those two are really carrying the team.

01:22I'm going to start him.

01:23Like I said, I'll take the chance here.

01:25I may not love it, but he's a two-start week.

01:27Also, he'll be better than one of them.

01:29He'll have to be better than one of my one starters.

01:31So I kind of like it for Jose Soriano.

01:33He's up and down.

01:34And that's why he's available, right?

01:36Because he is up and down.

01:37He's not consistent there.

01:38But I kind of like these two starts, especially the one against Texas.

01:41Jeffrey Springs, mixed bag for the A's this season.

01:45Most people feel, George, he'll be traded come trade deadline time.

01:49Faces off with Atlanta and Toronto this week.

01:53Both games are at home.

01:54And knowing how you have talked about this environment all season,

01:58I'm going to guess this is a pass.

02:00I mean, I'm going to try and play the reason why.

02:04Okay, Atlanta is having a lot of trouble hitting, right?

02:06Only got to score two runs again last night against Charlie Morton.

02:09I mean, no, all right, no.

02:12The first thing you said when he says,

02:14I'm like, all right, where are they pitching?

02:15Is that home?

02:16No, you're not starting.

02:17Toronto is as hot as Hades right now.

02:19And it's in Sacramento?

02:21No, no, no, just no.

02:24Brady Singer of the Cincinnati Reds.

02:27On paper, you would think, George,

02:28that these are some decent matchups here against the Marlins on Monday

02:31and then the Rockies on Saturday.

02:33But Singer himself has not been a fantastic option all season long.

02:38I mean, look, I guess if you're looking at less than 50% owned pitchers

02:42in 12-team leagues, is this a shot that you would take?

02:46Well, that's the question.

02:47What do I like to say when we have this segment each week?

02:49If you have Singer on your roster, all right,

02:52and you're not starting him against Miami and Colorado,

02:54I know Miami's played very well.

02:57And Colorado actually has played better of late also, by the way.

03:00But if you're not starting him this week,

03:02then why is he on your roster?

03:04Okay, it just comes down to that.

03:07I mean, you start so many pitches.

03:08It's a two-start week here.

03:09Everything you said is true.

03:10I mean, he's at a 4.36 ERA.

03:13His whip is 1.34.

03:15He is striking out about a batter in an inning here,

03:17so you get some Ks there.

03:19Yeah, he starts for me.

03:20I don't love it.

03:21He hasn't pitched all that well.

03:23And once again, he's playing the great American small park.

03:26So he could get beat up a little bit here.

03:27But if I don't start him this week, then I'm cutting him.

03:31Chicago White Sox hearts endorse two-start pitchers here.

03:34Aaron Savali got his wish and was moved to Chicago.

03:38But thus far, George just won a measly win on the season.

03:43I mean, this calls for desperation here.

03:45This is like the last bottle of alcohol in the house.

03:48Nothing left.

03:49Merchant in the back of the fridge.

03:51Toronto and Cleveland.

03:53Cleveland, not horrendous, I guess.

03:56But, oof, you've got to be really scraping the bottom here.

03:59All right.

04:00Cleveland's not hitting.

04:01All right.

04:02They're not.

04:03Once again, if it was in Cleveland, I would feel a lot better here.

04:05But Toronto's been mashing the ball here.

04:07They just beat the snot out of the Yankees there.

04:11No, I can't endorse this.

04:12Even with that Cleveland start, I just can't endorse it.

04:15I mean, I don't know if they're going to beat Cleveland.

04:16I don't know if they're going to get any wins.

04:17The team can't hit.

04:18So you can lose those games anyway.

04:20Where's your upside here?

04:21I don't really see it.

04:22So no on Cervalli.

04:24And like I said, he's the guy who's on my roster.

04:26I would cut.

04:27When he's back in Milwaukee, maybe you forgot about him.

04:29Time to move on.
