Thank you. Yes. This is working. Yes Hi guys, my name is Tiffany Chan and I'm from Deloitte Digital and I started Drupal just last year when I was an intern at Deloitte Digital and So it was it this concept is very new for me And I found Drupal very fascinating because like my university taught me a very manual Like HTML, CSS and JavaScript code. So when I when I was like given Drupal I was like, wow, what's this thing? So yes, it's very exciting thing and learning Drupal for the first time was very hard And I wouldn't be able to stand here if it wasn't for my colleague Adam Malone, Christopher Hopper, Henry Tran and Aaron Nicole. So I would like to thank them for this presentation So let's just move on to this presentation So When I was an intern I was placed in an e-commerce project and this project is related to a telecommunication company and Their objective their objective is like they want to create a new website for their company so This means that we need to move their entire Product from the old website to the new website I'm not talking about just like a couple of products. I'm talking about hundreds of products like maybe even like maybe a thousand and In this project I was provided a JSON as a type of data format for this migration and The products includes broadband, nbn, bundles So this is the range of products that they offer So because there are hundreds of products needed to be migrated We need to build an easy solution for this migration So this telecommunication company used commerce to build their website. So have has anyone here used commerce before? Few people there. So if anyone haven't used commerce yet, it's Actually a solution for building your e-commerce website and so you can just create your product type and attribute Custom and you can also dynamically change your display product and also your Attributes very easily and it's very flexible to you to do your orders and also displaying the product itself And best of all you don't have to create your own payment methods for this And so which is why they chose this telecommunication company chose commerce So the question then arises of how to migrate products Effectively because there's just too many products to migrate manually. It's time-consuming It's a waste of energy and very expensive to manually migrate the products So before we start doing some coding Or making modules, so I want to introduce you to three terminologies about commerce So product type is the kind of product of that telco company. So for example here, you can see that The product type is broadband Bundles and mobile broadband. So it's just a it's just a what they're selling. So product attribute is the characteristic of the product and this can be seen in the JSON at the key value pair and Also, the last one is product variation It's actually the specific instance for each of every product first So for example in this in this demo, I'll be showing you I will be showing you later I'll be using bundles, which is the middle one and there's a hundred and twenty different variations of bundles So just imagine like bundle one bundle two bundle three So they're that's what product variation is and I know as a beginner. It's very confusing to To know what what this terminology is because believe me or believe me. I've been there. So Yeah, this is a very simple way to Some summarize product type variation and attributes So before before we do anything we have to set up the commerce website We have to make sure that the store currency and product type exist before we do anything And it's very important because I got stuck with this for a long time We have to create a product type which in the other The other slide it's like the bundles So for example, if you want to create a bundle product type You have to go to the configuration and just create a simple bundle product type. This is important because This defines what they're selling and This doesn't have this doesn't if you don't if you forgot to do this It won't show up in any of the error message very important So next thing is that Creating product attribute and as mentioned before product attribute is basically the characteristic of the product and the so the difference between product attributes and other things like let's say the IDs and Like the name is that product attribute has multiple values to choose from so for example in this example we have access technology and In this in this particular example, we can choose different types of access technology I'll be showing you later of this Different options, but we cannot this is not the same as ID because ID We can't choose from multiple values because ID is just predefined. It's Let's say for example ID 1 ID 2 ID 3 so we can choose from it. So we have to create it from the start so yes Next one is after defining the product type and other configuration. We need to Create the products. So this is important because we need to create the products and We need to define it because we need to see the variation. So if you create the products, you'll see that there's variation tabs and We can actually see that there's nothing currently so our goal Here if you don't understand what I'm like what I'm talking about today is to get the JSON Which has been provided with the telco company? Get the JSON data and just put everything you want to put in this Variations tab very easy so yeah, so Now I'll be explaining you how to create the modules. So We will be creating the module just for this migration commerce and this is just a basic presentation So I won't be covering everything about this code, but I'll be trying my best to explain Everything hopefully so for this module. We need three external modules Which are migrate plus migrate tools and migrate and you need to doubt you need to do a composer require for migrate plus and migrate tools because migrate Because migrate is already in the course. So you don't need to do that. So After doing the basic things like creating module info Info YAML dot module file and so on we need to create two things So basically we need to create group migration configuration and the product configuration So that's it. So for example in this example the group migration will be commerce bundles and it will be and the first one will be used in the product configuration entity, which is commerce bundles, which is the The example below the one highlighted in the screenshot. So I'll be talking about what to put inside of this product configuration entity and This is what the first of the third section looks like for the product configuration entity so There are three things here to note that in order to migrate stuff you need to Know about source you need to know about destination and you need to know about process So let me repeat that source that's destination and process So what is source? I got very confused when I first started like what is source? It's just like a like a label field everything is in there, but basically The big section down like the fields The fields in the screenshot. It's actually what you want to get from the JSON. So for example Name equals to ID label equals to ID It means that I want to get the ID from the JSON which is next to it Which is ID equals to nbn01 underscore underscore. So that is the ID that I want to get and Sometimes we don't need to use all the information from the JSON So you can pick just which one you want to use for this because in reality you don't want to be displaying every information to the customer and There's also other things in the source, which is like what kind of what kind of data type data format you're using which is JSON in this and also the URL and like Constants like the string the type of what the bundles the also the identifier depth in my Example it will be of like like only one identifier depth for the JSON because it makes it easier So yeah, that's a source. So the second part would be destination So destination is pretty straightforward because we want to migrate it to the product variation We need to use this entity commerce product variation So it can be migrated and it's already it's already made this plug-in So you don't need to like stress about how to use this so the third and final one is process and This the process is how to get from the source which we just talked earlier and displayed at triple So if you can see here So this is just the same thing like This screenshot is the same screenshot as this one But I just added source next to it with which we just explained earlier So basically we're just like mapping things into into the process from the source. So for example Here we can see that name is mapped to SKU With a plug-in called skip on empty So it means like it basically means take Take ID from this from the source and also and see what what it is inside and After you see what's inside check if it's empty If it's not empty then push it to the Drupal commerce website this also applies to this also applies to title which is taken from description and Product ID you see that you might see that the plug-in is a little bit different. It's not skip on empty this is a custom plug-in I made and If this also applies to commerce price too, so basically commerce Product is to allow it to select the right product ID While commerce price is actually to set the price and currency curve So we're just using using the plug-ins, which is what you want to do for the for the data so what you want to do with the data you have and also For attributes we need to do entity look up before before we do anything with this because they need to look up the the List that they generated from this data It's if this seems like confusing. I'll be showing you the demonstration later so next one Executing the migration is pretty simple. You just need to do a drush migrate status to check the status and You can choose the product type The product you want to migrate and also type the drush migrate import and there are also useful commands such as rollback and Also migrate reset status. I find migrate reset status to be very important because There's not a lot of documentation like let's say you got stuck and the status got stuck in importing you can just Reset it and it will go back to idle so when you open the product variations, you can see the list of the items here and I'll be showing you the demonstration So if I go to my commerce and this is my commerce Module and if I go to product you see that I created a bundle and and Currently there's nothing inside right and if you can see the product attributes We I created a product attribute called access technology and I I didn't put anything first. I just put one one Value and it automatically like populates it for me so if you see again the variations and if you go to your terminal and you just type drush migrate status This will show you how many how many but items are in your json and It will show what? How many is unprocessed and how many are processed and this also applies to if you Update stuff it will show how many items are updated and how many items are not updated You just need to type the migrate import Okay, I Have a backup. Yes. So if I just open this I'll just fast forward so yep, there's nothing in this variation yet and If I just force fast forward to this so as you can see I did the migration status and I there's 122 unprocessed items and if I did a migrate import It won't say it it won't say anything so don't panic if it doesn't show you anything Like there's no like successful message and If you check the status again You'll see that It's imported already and if you go check your check your Website you can see that all the variations are all there and if you don't see some of the Tabs like for example, where's the description like where's some tabs? It's all there already It's it's just too too many things to be displayed at the front. So if you go inside of each of the Variations you see the details there So yeah, thank you guys Thank you Tiffany. We have Time for couple questions. So if you want to raise your handle come and handle the mic. Thank you. Thank you very much I was wondering if You had like how many things you imported like if the files were too big or if the Just like it was too much content if there was an strategy to break down the migrations or or if or or you did everything in one go Just basically like if there is a lot of content to migrate if you have a strategy for that If there's no content to migrate if there is too much like a lot of content Yes, like how many how many is too much a million a hundred thousand, you know, like a very big Import well, I only try it with like a hundred of products each Product type. So if if you're like saying like like ten thousand maybe it will slow down the importing But I'm sure it still works, but it will just very slow You know, when you type it to rush migrate import, it will be very slow Thank you. I would like to maybe respond to the comment here as well like when you have lots of content. Let's say 100,000 that basically all of your content would be just one type So when you do your migration, you can just split that into your bundles So for example, if you have like ten content types, you will have ten yaml files with ten configurations So when you do the migration, it will be split it between those ten. So it's not like all their own one go Any more questions? Thank you.  I'm just curious how did rollback go when you rollback your migration? Yeah, so we just type drush rollback as mentioned here So just drush migrate rollback of that product and it did everything you wanted to and nothing else You didn't have any problems with it. Oh, I don't know why like I couldn't do it just now maybe it's the network issue, but Usually it it's okay. It will just disappear So you were only importing product variations not products. Is that correct? Yeah product variations not product So your product variations you already knew what the product ID was going to be Sorry, you already knew what the product ID would be Product ID. Oh, um product ID. Yeah So it's already it's already there. So I just need to take it Yeah, from and you you made the products without using migrate Yeah, oh, no, no, so I create the product on Itself like manually. Yes, and then like after I create the products I Go to the variations tab and look look at it and do the do the commands and After the commands it will appear in the variations tab. So we still have to do the products manually Right, so the you created the products manually and then you migrated in the product variations Yeah, so that when you did a rollback of product variations You only rolled back the variations and not yeah, so when you do a rollback. Yes. Okay. Thank you Tiffany Yeah, thank you guys Don't forget to leave your feedback on the website and we'll be back in two or three minutes


Boeing is looking bullish, Boeing is up 3.74. So here we are, let's take a look at Google puts, I would go for the 35 Delta 1110 and looks like some selling coming in but it's not quite clear yet, just getting ready here of the 1125 call. Okay, Google also wants to go up now. All right, I'm going to take the call position guys. So let's get in on the 1125 call. Okay, 1125 call close to 20%. Now on Google, it's at 650, 630, 650. So I'm going to take it off at 650, taking off one. Okay, 650. We are in.  I'll tell you what, on Google, I'll take off one more contract and let's go into Amazon. At least that way, we would have booked two thirds of the profits at 640. I'm going to give a limit price of 650 again. All right, folks, I think, okay, 650. All right, let's get out of Google folks. Let's see if we can find a better opportunity. It doesn't seem like Google wants to go up or spoke too soon. That was a good move on Google, 1121. So I'm going to close Google because there's definitely, there's a selling coming in there. So 540. And so I want to keep bowing. Now here you see plus three contracts, folks, I just want to clarify something. I have a swing trade on bowing. So we're not going to count that. I have a swing trade there. So that's why you see the three contracts there. But what we are doing is going to be a day trade. This should be mid prices 229. I want to get in quickly because, all right, there we go. 230. We are in on bowing at 2.3. And it's down about 18%. Okay, so I'm going to double down at 1.93. Try to get this in. Okay, so we are in. Average price is 2.12. Okay, bowing is also getting hit. Now there's some severe volatility here, guys. I want to be ready to make it a debit spread if required. There's some serious volatility coming in. Okay, 1.09. Yeah, I'm going in debit spread. Okay, we sold it at 1.11. So what we have is a debit spread plus 10 minus 10. Just couldn't take that risk. There's some serious volatility coming in. I'm leaving it as a debit spread for now and we'll worry about going as we go along. But I'll be checking it. So I'll keep it at this and just pause it here and put market watch. How many people are on still? Let me check. I think there are quite a bit of people. If you're in the bowing trade, as you can see, it's now up 625. Okay, a debit of $1. So that's a $1,000 trade. This is already a 60% ROI here. So I'm tempted to take it off. If you guys are here, if you're still on the webinar, folks, just give me a yes on the chat box. Okay, Rich is there, John is there, okay. All right. So here, William is here, Deepa is here. I mean, this is a fantastic profit here and tomorrow, you don't want something to change and it just go away. This is as of now, it's like a 63% because it's a $1,000 trade exactly. And so I'm going to take it off and just close it out. Tomorrow, it's all expiring and so if bowing goes down 5%, I mean $5 tomorrow morning, then all of this will just go away. And so I'm not going to take that risk. I'm going to just close this right here. It was a fantastic trade. Obviously, if we still had a long position, it would have been much better but we might have come out of it also much earlier as well. So anyway, so here we are at 1.63. I'm going to take it off. We've got 1.6. I'll take that because things are coming down. All right, closed it at 1.6 and Google also we made a small good trade there. All right, folks, so that's it. I was just watching and you know, there might be a pullback at some point. So I don't want to take the risk, especially if tomorrow if bowing gives all these gains away, then it'll be problematic. All right, folks, so that's it for today. Thank you.  I know this turned out to be very good. So this is really good. All right, so we'll see you tomorrow guys. Have a good evening. Bye-bye.

Guys, literally just woke up about 30 seconds ago, threw on my clothes. I didn't have any of my other clothes because those clothes are in my checked baggage, which are waiting in Winnipeg for me. So we're sporting yesterday's shirt again. Good thing it's clean and I'm a clean person. So yeah, I gotta quickly get all my stuff together here. And my shuttle leaves here in about 15 minutes. It's gonna take me to the airport, which is half an hour away. Did you know the Denver Airport is like, way outside the city? Interesting, I think it's a good idea. Keep all that noise over there, okay? Then you don't have to worry about certain neighborhoods having low flying aircraft all the time, right? Okay, guys, I gotta wake up and head to the airport. This is Denver International Airport. It's just absolutely huge. This is just the terminal. It's almost like a circus tent. We actually have an underground subway, which will take us to our gates. There's like three different stops on the subway to three gates, A, B, and C, and then we're going to B. And so I gotta get on a train, which will take me to my gate. Then I gotta get on my plane. It's just massive airport. Massive. It's probably why they have it so far away from the city. Look at all these Manitoba license plates. Manitoba, nice truck. Manitoba, nice plate. You might be wondering why I'm walking back into the terminal. I'm wondering the same thing. You might have to do with the fact that I didn't pay for my parking. I gotta pay for the parking in the terminal. Technology, whatever. At least I'm home. I'm gonna go pick up diesel straight from here. And I already got in touch with my lawyers for the real estate. Gotta go their sign tomorrow afternoon. Then that's all done in the last final signatures. Now all I gotta do is go on a little trip. It looks like they want to send me to Western Canada for the multi-drop load, which will get me back for next Sunday. I'm moving to my place on Tuesday, next week. And Wednesday, internet's getting installed there and then Thursday. I'll be on a long, long trip. I won't be home for a long time. But I'll be back in the truck and I won't be doing this crazy aircraft travel. Airplanes are fast, man. I was in Denver like two hours ago. Now I'm in Winnipeg. No, I'm gonna take the drive in a truck that far. Two and a half days at least, I think. It's official, airplanes are fast. All right, we just passed the welcome to Winnipeg sign. I guess we're officially in Winnipeg now. Welcome. We are making a beeline straight to Diesel's fancy resort. I've got no phone calls from them, so he's obviously not been any trouble. They said they'd call if there was problems or if he was being a brat. So I guess everything's good. Let's go get Diesel. I don't wanna go, man, I feel much fun. You have so much fun? He didn't even wanna go, just like I thought. Yeah, you were having fun, weren't you? Look at these, just staring at his friends. Can you lay down? You remember how to do that? I think so. You remember? Okay, lay down, bud. What's that? Good boy. Come here now. Come here, man. I missed you. Oh, I missed you. I'm so glad you're okay. They said he wasn't even a brat. Is that true? Or were they lying? You were a brat weren't you and they were just covering for you. You're so cute. That's okay. Well, they won my business. I'll be back again. Or Diesel will be back again if I ever need to travel again. Looks like we found you, your new babysitters, dog-sitters. He's my baby, so babysitter. You wouldn't believe all the people I've met. I have so many stories to tell you, man. Yeah, I'm gonna tell you all on the way home, right? He's such a good boy. Diesel? Diesel? He doesn't even notice. I got you something, man. Hey, look, look here. No, no, no, stay back there. Oh, now you see it. That's what you're talking about. Yeah, that's what I'm talking about, man.  Good boy, I bought him a couple of those things, so. Such a good boy, he deserves a treat. I see you're still shedding. I should have gotten them to groom him, but it was an extra fee and I didn't want to pay it when I could just groom him myself. But maybe next time I'll get them to groom you because they'd probably do a way better job than I would ever do. From what I heard, Diesel, you were a ladies' man all weekend. That's what I heard. The girls in there were apparently crazy about you. Ladies, man. You gotta teach me your tricks, man. How do you do it? Hey, guess what? I told Zeke's owner, Seycar, all that. You wanted to meet Zeke? Uh-huh. We talked about you for a bit. Maybe we'll have a dog affair next year. Yeah, you can meet Zeke. I don't know if you saw that in one of my past videos. I was talking to Seycar all backstage and I was saying how awesome it would be if Diesel and Zeke would meet. Like, yeah, and we're thinking, yeah, Chris Perlow was like, we could have a dog affair. Oh, man. Second last time we come home here, Diesel. Oh, man, you have not been eating very well while I was gone. Did you miss me? You weren't eating very well, man. We're gonna have to make sure we fatten them up again. Kind of figured that he wouldn't eat very well without me there. They didn't say he didn't eat, so I guess you weren't eating, weren't you? You weren't eating, man.  Or do you wanna come inside?   I missed you, man. I told everybody there about you. I'll talk about you the whole weekend, man. I'm giving you shout-outs, oh, yeah. Don't worry, I didn't forget about you. Yep, talked about you to everyone I met. You bet. Good boy. Good boy. Just gonna leave him out here for a few minutes, then I'll take him inside with me. I think he should be close to me after being gone for a while. Maybe I'll take him inside with me right away. Oh, oh, did you find your cow, man? Did you find your cow? Did you miss your cow, man? Where's your cow? Where's your cow? Oh, it's right here, man. Good boy. Yeah, so I'll take him inside with me right away and we'll spend the evening together. Like bros. We're gonna have a bro night, right? You watch some action movies. Yeah, we're gonna watch stuff blow up and people firing guns and stuff. You bet, man. Man, you can tell me about all the ladies you impressed. I heard every girl at the resort there. It was just crazy about them. Good boy. That's my boy. Honey, I'm home. Still never answers me. Watching different YouTubers and all their videos from Vlogger Fair and editing our own. Wow, it's so awesome to see Vlogger Fair from all the different vloggers' perspectives. It's like, it's a different story every time, but yet it's all the same story. So, yeah, I got diesel back today. He's hanging out over there. He's exhausted. I think he had a pretty long weekend. He's not used to being apart from me and I don't mean that to sound like I'm just the awesomest person in the world, but he grew up pretty much being around me every single day and it's tough for him when suddenly his master is gone for four days or four nights anyways and poor guy. I don't wanna do that to him again for bad for him. He probably didn't eat and sleep the entire time. That's what I'm thinking. Poor guy, come on, let's go say hi to him. Let's go cheer him up, guys. Cheer him up. Leave some nice comments for him. Cheer him up. There I go again. Say something nice. Cheer him up, look at him. Hey, diesel, did you have an exhausting weekend? Come here and say hi to everybody. Everybody's missed you, man. Dude, you're gonna knock over your fan. Watch where you're sitting over there. I know. Come here, bud.  Oh, you had such a long weekend. Did you eat anything? Did you eat? I know they fed you. They fed you, right? They better have fed you. Did they feed you? Oh, God, they fed me, man. You didn't eat very much, did you? Poor guy. Not used to being apart from your master. Clean out your eyes. So I don't like leaving diesel. Sometimes it's necessary. You know, I couldn't take them along, and I am glad I went to Seattle. But I spent the whole evening with them here, being all weird and stuff, trying to make them feel better. Come on, guys, make them feel better. Diesel, what can they do to make you feel better? You just need a good night's sleep, don't you?  Maybe I just over-worry about things a little bit. Oh, I baby him, you know?  He should be, he's good, he's fine. I'm just over-worried. Like that. I don't have any kids myself, right? So diesel is my child. So I think of him that way. He's my boy. Anyways, my house is a mess. I realize that there is mold growing on some food in that container. I realize that I'm on it. I'll clean it out. But for now, I'm going to bed and ending this day. Edit it up tomorrow. And tomorrow, I believe we're headed to Western Canada somewhere on a load. I think there's five drops on it, but we'll see. First I gotta go sign documents at the lawyers and stuff, but... Thanks for tagging along, guys. Thanks for tagging along every day, all you loyal viewers. Thanks for tagging along for my life. And you know what? It's fun doing these vlogs, so I'm gonna keep doing them. Okay, I'm gonna see you tomorrow at the same time as every day. What day is... What day is that? I'm tired. I was gonna ask you, what time is that? 4 a.m. Central time. Every day. I'll see you then.


What's up everybody, Jason here for JaspysCaseBricks.com. This is our last filler guys, this helps sell out the last nine spots in the hip rate MDA Jaspys Edition with this 21-22 Prism Solo Pack number nine. Again, we'll do the break first, then at the end we'll randomize the customer days in top nine when the spot. So we go dice roll here for the breaks first with the names and teams three times. Two and three. Chris down to Michael. Three times. One, two, three times. Houston Rockets, Phoenix Suns. I got no trades guys, just a quick little solo. So stick to what you got. Did you see, Jack, did you see Ilya Samsonov's interview yesterday about how the reporter was talking about like how Bobrowski's play is like at a halter and high. Ooh, nice. Scotty Barnes, silver rookie. And it's like, does that like motivate you to like play better or whatever? Something like that.  Oh man, that was so funny. Also, that's exactly how your response to a reporter like that. There's Stuart and a, wait, it's a nice little Scotty Barnes silver though. That's pretty solid. Raptors is Mike. All right now let's switch scenes and on to do the main give away. Dice rolling here. And actually I forgot to put the list in there. Let's put the list back in there. The original list that bought in. And again, nine times, or sorry, roll it eight times, two and a six, eight. Top nine, get in. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. So eight times, eight, top nine are in. Oh, Michael just missing out man, but I think you had a couple of spots. So hopefully you're in. Tristan, you are in though. Andy, Tristan, Mike F, Dylan, Nancy, Michael L, you are in. Jack at number two and Mike F, there you go. Top nine are in. So again, this was the last filler to unlock the break. Coming up next is hit parade Jatsby's exclusive NBA playoffs. Thank you guys.


Not gonna lie to you tonight slate for daily fantasy baseball is pretty gross There aren't a lot of pitchers. I can feel great about in fact. There's no pitcher I feel great about for tonight. There are guys who I can talk myself into But I never really want to talk myself into guys So our quest for today try to find pitchers with upside because nobody has a good floor And the good thing for us at least is that although pitching is bad for us It's bad for everyone else too, which means everyone else dealing with these same issues and we can still win money So let's dive on in and try to identify how we want to play things on what is objectively a pretty gross slate Welcome on into the solo shot. That's right here on the fan dual podcast network in number fire calm My name is Jim Sonnis. I am a senior writer and analyst for a number fire calm here to break down Thursdays Five game main slate with lock set for 7 10 for a tune night now as far as weather goes There is no rain in the forecast But I would note that New York City got dumped on yesterday and there was a lot of flooding and stuff like that They are currently scheduled to play the Mets versus the Marlins I would expect that game to play but I also would not be entirely shocked if that game were to get banged So check back to make sure that game is still on it is as of right now And again, I'm expecting it to play but just note that there is some Potential shakiness there despite the fact there is no weather in the forecast for today There's also a lot of stuff that could change for tonight. We got a starting pitcher situation That's not yet known we'll touch on that later on but the more incentive for you to swing back here at 4 p.m Eastern time today YouTube twitch Facebook and Twitter on the fan dual pages there to swing by and see how things have changed throughout the day And I would know it's especially key because lineups do matter a lot We can see value pop up that we didn't discuss here during the show for today Yesterday we talked about Gavin sheets being good value He had a double dong although Bertha Montesey was not known to be coming back for sure in the morning Once it was known he became a good place So I would recommend in terms of the hitters specifically tuning in for the afternoon stream 4 p.m Fandall YouTube twitch Facebook and Twitter will be live there taking your questions live on air also Make sure you are subscribed to the number fire daily fantasy podcast feed still some time right now to check out the podcast They tour championship, which will lock later on today That is with myself brandy cadulla breaking down our thoughts on a unique format for the tour championship tomorrow NASCAR we also have USC coming up of course as always an NFL next one the first NFL podcast One week from today should be a blast looking forward to talking to you then make sure you hit subscribe And also if you like what you hear leave us a rating and review a football fans the 2021 NFL season is just around the corner and you still got time to fill out some best ball contest Go to fandall.com where you can enter any best ball draft that you want pick your league size pick your entry entry size and draft your team set it forget it you're good to go and compete for cash prizes Of course you have private leagues as well head on over to fandall today and start drafting eligibility restrictions apply Go to fandall.com or download the fandall app for more details pitching preview for this thursday slates Depends on who you ask right now. Sandy alcantra is the highest salary pitcher on fandall 10 5 He might not start it might be zack thompson. I am assuming right now. It is zack thompson thompson Would be next up in the rotation, but now trevor rogers is coming back. Maybe they Decide to have thompson, you know take a seat for a bit. I don't know either way We're going to assume here today thompson is starting I will talk about alcantra and things to watch and kasey does wind up being the guy shame the clan hand is 10 1 Tristan mckenzie is 8800 dollars mic miners 85 tukit you saw in coors is 85 then in water rodriguez is 8200 dollars and Running through that list. You can tell there's a lot of risk. There are no safe spots I don't think maybe alcantra would be kind of safe if he were to start but again I don't know if he'll start so if we assume that risk is there We can shoot for upside. This is not like a cash game slate in my opinion This is more of a tournament slate. So if we're looking for upside I think at water rodriguez might have the best upside of this group So I will be in on him for tonight rodriguez is facing the rays and there is a good amount of power in that lineup But not as much against lefties as versus righties their iso goes down to 164 versus lefties Which is down to about 40 points from where it's at against righties obviously the nelson-cruz acquisition does help them quite a bit in that regard, but They are definitely a team we want to We should be more inclined to use lefties against than righties They also do strike out They have a 24 strikeout rate versus lefties and that's why the discussion around rodriguez is upside is fair He is a good pitcher even if he is hyper inconsistent Rodriguez has had less movement on his fastball over his past 11 starts He has a 29 strikeout rate in that time, which is the highest mark on the slate He also has the second lowest hard hit rate allowed the fly ball rate is 35 percent So the proof rules for rodriguez are very good. That has not always led to great results He led up five runs to texas who is terrible terrible terrible against lefties He had just two strikeouts last time out against cleveland also a bad team against lefties So rodriguez is inconsistent and that also plays into the volatility discussion But he can't have a ceiling. He had 10 strikeouts against detroit He had eight against tampa toronto the yankees twice And there are not many guys in the slate who can get you eight strikeouts in a game So I think rodriguez is a fine play tonight even with his concerns. So yeah, it is Troubling that he has this inconsistency can have bad starts against bad teams But I think all things considered rodriguez is the number one guy for me at least for tonight As far as the number two We're going to go with a matchup base play here, which I don't like doing and it's a guy i'm still pretty wary of In carlos carrasco He has not gone longer than 78 pitches yet But he has some decent underline numbers and he gets the marlins tonight That may be enough to make him viable on what is really a rough slate The matchup here is pristine the marlins have an 82 wrc plus versus righties with just a 127 iso And that is a much softer matchup than carrasco has had recently His path three starts have come back to back outings versus the dodgers and then the giants He sells a 24 strikeout rate despite facing those teams The swinging strike rate is 12.7 across those three games. It was 14.1 against the giants Neck and specifically to me Was encouraging the velocity for carrasco was by a decent amount the best it's been all year He threw to 78 pitches, but those 78 pitches got him through seven innings It's possibly could have a longer leash If you know he's less efficient with pitches. So we just can't know for sure I think We can fully justify Taking swipes at carrasco here. It might not work But that's also true for literally every pitcher on this slate. So, you know, eat arbies Embrace the volatility embrace the darkness embrace the void. I think carrasco is a good play for tonight. He is $6,800. So you want to go nuts at courtsfield lock in carlos carrasco? and Hope he does okay again It's risky for sure for the final slot. He could go a lot of ways. We'll talk about alcantra again And things to watch we'll talk about tristan mckenzie. We'll talk about shea mclanahan There are concerns around all those guys though outside of alcantra if he does go But I just want to go with a guy who is like a decent all-around pitcher goes deep in games and is at home That's mike miner. Miner is not a high strikeout guy, but Neither are most pitchers on this slate I think that he's firmly on the table as a result of the things he does do well He's facing the royals or he's facing the cleveland. I should say Which is not the best matchup by any means, but it's also Definitely not the worst because cleveland They've gotten better. They've gotten guys like they got herald ramirez back last night That's good for them versus lefties, but also still just a 91 wrc plus a 159 iso They don't hit the ball in the air all that much. So I do still consider them a plus matchup obviously from the arrays I'll say ramirez they've got some dudes, but it's a pretty thin lineup overall Miner is pretty solid He's been using fewer change-ups over his past 10 starts and in that time his skill interactive erra is 4.47 He has a 20 strikeout rate of the 6 walk rates. Those are not world beating numbers by any means And you know, usually I'm more inclined to stack against those numbers and use this guy as a pitcher But in minors defense, he has faced some tough teams He faced houston twice then the blue jays white socks and red socks all once He don't expect great numbers against that string of teens He did still manage to go six innings in six out of 10 games. He had seven strikeouts three times So minor can score well on a bigger slate. I would not touch mic minor. I would have no interest literally zero interest, but I think that he's at least an option I would also say you could consider one offs against minor like from the arrays Definitely in play for one offs for today. Jose Ramirez definitely in play for one offs on this slate I think the minors an option I don't feel great about him, but I don't feel great about anybody here So minor to me would be number three and again, we'll talk about Mackenzie McClanahan and alcantra in things to watch if alcantra plays we're not touching mic minor But I again, I don't think that'll be the case for today Obviously pitchers are pretty thin stacks should be better and they are especially because I think course field Really fun for tonight. You look at the temperatures across today It's in the 70s low 70s almost everywhere Coors field is 79, but it's also Coors field So not only is it the tide for the highest temperature, but it's also far away the best part So I want to stack up both sides here and I can definitely do so Based on the pitching salaries and also the salaries at Coors are just they're too low It's kind of like they're not at Coors So just stack up Coors field for sure the braves have lost some firepower recently Obviously no wrong of the cunha jr. But also Ozzy Alby's that thing didn't look good I would kind of be surprised what he plays tonight But they're facing chichi. Gonzales at Coors field So I think that they are the top stack for sure Gonzales is moving into the rotation it once again in place of john gray Gonzales has been in and out of the rotation recently He got demoted after he returned from the coven i l but the velocity for Gonzales had been declining even before He got coven he has been down even more in the two outings since he returned And we've got eight outings for Gonzales with his velocity being down at least a bit and his strikeout right there is 14 He has a 5.16 skill interactive er a and those are numbers against which we can stack outside of Coors field You put him a course field against a powerful team like the braves That's pretty rough. He has a 6.62 er a there It is a depleted team in the braves, but they still have a lot of powerful hitters So I feel confident in the braves here whether Alby's plays or not That's the best thing about the braves in terms of trying to stack them for dfs is they're deep We can feel good about them pretty much no matter what they do With their lineup like their bench is really fun. Eddie Rosario might play he went deep last 90s usable at Coors field Same for Guillermo heredia like they've got dudes on their deep on their bench Who I'd be fine using for dfs and we can get to these guys We can also feel fine about the bottom of the order Like jock peterson I think you get lead off last night with Alby's being out. Let's say Alby's plays and peterson bat's eighth I would still use him I don't tend to use guys batting eighth and national league teams because they're in front of the pitcher Does put a pretty big cap on their upside, but like with jock. It's fine So I would potentially make an exception here. I think that one through eight. They are very stackable So to me the braves A high quality stack for today and to me pretty clearly the number one stack the Rockies are number two I do have a strong preference for the braves, but I do like the Rockies number two They're facing tuki tussans. He has been out of the rotation very briefly He now is back in for tonight And he's had some good flashes But i'm not sure it's good enough to avoid stacking against him at what is far and away The best run scoring environment on this lake tussant has been throwing more splitters recently If we look at the final five starts he made before that one bullpen appearance He had a 4.69 skill interactive er a which is largely inflated due to an 11 walk rate He was putting guys on base and that's an issue when you're still having trouble suppressing hard contact in that time Tussaud I led up a 47 hard hit rates with a 41 fly ball rate That led to some dingers He led up two home runs the brewers and the marlins and those are not the the best teams the marlins game was in Miami as well So tussaud can get strikeouts and there are paths To this stack failing as a result of that But it's so hard to bet against cores on this specific slate So I think it's wise to stack the Rockies here and be not as high on them on the braves But pretty close to it and just having a lot of bull teams in this scenario when you're stacking the Rockies I think we need to be higher on trevor story than we've been throughout most of the year He seemed like he I don't know if he was hurt or whatever He just didn't seem like he's himself this entire year There wasn't as much power there, but over the past three weeks story's hard hit rate is up to 51 It is 43 for the full year He is striking out a bit more, but I'm okay with that trade off if it comes with more power So I think that story is back to being a focal point Within our rocky stacks, which to me at least hadn't really been the case for a large portion of the year But I do think that uh story What he's done recently is enough to bump him up in my mind and make him once again The shining star in our rocky stacks as far as the non-core stacks for today This one again is under the assumption that Zach Thompson starts for the marlins instead of sandy alcantra We'll talk about the Thompson scenario now and the alcantra situation in things to watch the Mets if they do phase Zach Thompson I think would be a good stack for today Thompson someone I really did like when he first got called up But he's been struggling a lot recently Thompson first started to struggle back in early july And he did make some adjustments the first thing he did was cut back on his changeup That didn't help his most recent adjustment has been to throw more cutters And that hasn't done the job either in the four starts with that approach Thompson's strikeout rate is 11 percent, which is the lowest number on this slate He has a 5.76 skill interactive era. That is the highest number on this slate And he's also letting up a lot of fly balls. He has let up a 44 fly ball rate The one thing Thompson has done well is keep hard contact and check That's likely why his results have largely still been good He did though let up foreign runs to the Padres He let up five runs with three earned to the reds in miami last time out He has benefited from a lot of plus situations pitching in miami specifically, but also facing some good matchups The Mets are not playing well right now We just don't have many great offense to choose from on this slate So I think that allows us to use them despite their very legitimate struggles Now one guy I do want to turn to here And it's despite the fact i'm not going to need salary savings is jonathan vr He's probably going to hit lead off by the guests based on their more recent lineups We know about the speed for vr, but like he also has a 218 iso versus righties You can get that for $2,500 And he has a lot of positional versatility too, which I I've enjoyed for him a stacking perspective I had from a one-off perspective So we're not going to need the salary savings tonight. I don't think but I still believe that vr is someone I'd be willing to use potentially even the salary on the table because I do like The upside that he possesses given the steals and given the power he has shown Let's move now to talking about things to watch and specifically focusing on alcantra If alcantra were to start from the marlins, he would become the top pitcher on this slate for me He has started to lower his sinker usage, which is something we always love to see sinkers suck So see a sinkers the strikeout rate in that five-star sample with fewer sinkers is 28 percent The fly ball rate is low still despite fewer sinkers So why use it if you can get get ground balls without it? So if alcantra starts he is the top guy on the slate it Thompson starts I'd stack the mats does depend a lot on the situation So once again would recommend swinging back by at 4 p.m. Today if you can to check out the q&a I'm not opposed to stacking the cubs here. They're facing Mitch Keller. Keller is Really struggling with hard contact and the cubs at least have some individuals who can hit the ball hard So frank schwindel rafael otega patrick wisdom e and hap all those guys work And I could see stacking those four guys specifically So the cubs I think more so for one else But you know I could see stacking those four guys together and hoping the bottom of the order does something To increase played appearance projections for the top guys in the order for today Finally want to talk briefly on shame mclanahan and tristan mckenzie from mclanahan It's about the matchup the reason I didn't have them in the pitching section The red sox are a really good offense and mclanahan's biggest flaw is letting up a lot of hard contact The good thing from mclanahan the reason I think you could still get to him is that the red sox had been weakened due to all their COVID positive tests So they've lost some specifically guys who are good against lefties and kiki hernandez and xander bogart So maybe that's enough to be high mclanahan I'm still a bit worried because schwerber's there renfro's there martinez there rafael beaver's gonna lefty's but You know you've got leeway to use mclanahan, especially on what is a pretty wild slate far as mckenzie The reason i'm not there is pitch count. He's making his first start since he came off the il He did miss basically the minimum number of games But it was a shoulder injury and shoulder injuries are always troubling for me when it comes to pitchers Maybe it was like a workload thing and they wanted to put him on the shelf Keep him rested up in a season where they're probably not gonna, you know be doing too much so If you feel good about the pitch count mckenzie is in play I don't feel good about the pitch count. So that's why i'm lower on him so mclanahan to me I don't know. I think that maybe i'm too low on him But i'm just really wary of a guy who loves a that much hard contact facing a team that has Jeannie martinez hunter-renfro, etc etc couchwarmer and stuff like that. That's why i'm lower there But again, i'll contrast the big one to watch for today Let's finish up here with some dinger calls focusing exclusively on course field because of the Coors fieldiness of it the boring one is freddie freeman freddie freeman is a good baseball player I know breaking news But he's at coors field facing a guy who doesn't get strikeouts and is letting up a lot of hard contact right now So there's no albies freddie freeman the clear top guys the boring call is freddie freeman The more fun one is on the rocky side. That's alias diaz He's been hitting for a lot of power recently and not exclusively at coors field So diaz a catcher people don't tend to use a lot of catchers on fan duel. So Maybe with freeman being there with cj crone being there And in the way that those things break out. I wouldn't be shocked if he goes a bit overlooked So alias diaz to me a really fun option tonight at $2,700 That is all that we have here for today on the solo shot again Though a lot still to potentially change throughout the day So make sure you swing by four p.m. Eastern vandal youtube twitch facebook and twitter pages to take your questions And get you set for tonight's light and talk about any things that may have changed since this morning If you've got any questions for me.

Welcome to Spotlight. I'm Colin Lauver. And I'm Liz Wade. Spotlight uses a special English method of broadcasting. It is easier for people to understand no matter where in the world they live. Most people have experienced an immediate reaction. Think about the last time you smelled something delicious. Did you react with an emotion?  Did you react emotionally when you saw someone you loved? Malcolm Gladwell is a writer. He writes about how our brains are influenced by things we do not even know. Gladwell calls these immediate reactions we just thought about snap judgments or quick decisions. They often influence us in ways we may not even recognize. Today's spotlight is on these immediate reactions and how they affect our everyday lives. Here is a fun example of how our brains create these immediate reactions. Answer these questions as quickly as possible. What colour are clouds? What colour is snow? What do cows drink? Most people answer the first two questions with white but they answer the third question with the word milk. If you answered that cows drink milk, you are not alone. The correct answer is water. It was the colour white that made you have a snap decision that cows drink milk. Malcolm Gladwell wrote a book about snap judgments called Blink. In this book, he tells a story about a snap decision. In 1983, the J. Paul Getty Museum received a statue. They believed it was from the 6th century BC. Scientists at the museum did some basic tests to make sure the statue was real. The tests seemed to show that the statue was very old. Thomas Hoving is an art manager. He looked at the statue. Hoving always remembers the first word to come into his mind when he looks at a new piece of work. Normally, when Hoving sees an old large marble statue, his first word is old, beautiful, ancient or even heavy. Hoving has been around art for many years. His experience makes it easier for him to choose between real art and copies of real art. And when he looked at the statue, the first word he thought of was fresh. His snap judgment made him think the statue was not thousands of years old. It was new. Scientists decided to do more tests. These further test results showed that the statue was not real. It was a very good copy of a real statue. The person who made the statue worked hard to make the statue seem old. The museum was not happy when they learned they would not be able to put this statue in their museum. But this snap decision saved the museum from years of shame and regret. This is just one example of the effects of snap judgments or quick decisions. Snap judgments can also help improve or even save our lives.  You are thinking about something that is very interesting. You are not thinking about walking down the street. You decide to turn right. You do not see that you have just stepped out onto a busy street. You look up and see that there is a car driving toward you. Without thinking, you jump back up onto the sidewalk. You do this to avoid being hit. It was your own quick decision to jump back away from the street that saved you from being hurt. In an emergency, quick decisions also help. For example, doctors use snap judgments to treat injuries. They react based on past experiences. These past experiences help doctors know without thinking what they must do. If doctors take too long to make a decision, it can be too late to save a person's life. Their quick thinking can help keep everyone safe. Gladwell says that people make quick decisions because they must. Sometimes people must make quick decisions to survive. Other times people make them because it is natural. Our past experiences help to form our decisions. This is what helps to make them natural. Snap judgments come from the unconscious part of our brain, so we do not know we are making snap judgments until after we make them. We often do this when we meet people. There is a common saying in the English language. Do not judge a book by its cover. This means that we should not make an opinion about something or somebody based on the way they look. But people do this every single day, and sadly these snap judgments can easily be wrong. Snap judgments come from experience, but our experiences of people can be limited. Many of us do not know people of a different ethnicity or race. We mostly know people who are like us, so when we see someone who looks different, our snap judgments are not based on experience. They are based on ideas from other people. Or they are based on stories in radio and television. These are prejudices, and snap judgments based on prejudice are often wrong. Often a person's appearance does not tell us much about who they are or what they are like. It is natural to make snap judgments about other people. However, these judgments are not always true. For example, imagine that you see a person with a different skin colour than yours. You may have a thought like, I am smarter than he is, or he is mean. These are not good snap judgments. Thoughts like these are judgments about a person's character and abilities. Sometimes we need to make a quick decision about a person to protect our own lives. If we see someone carrying a weapon, it would be right to make the snap judgment to hide or run away. People make snap judgments every single day, but we can decide how we let the snap judgments affect our lives. It is important to be careful not to let these quick decisions change the way we think of a person. Think of how your snap judgments affect your everyday life. You could surprise yourself. We will tell another story about snap judgments for members of our YouTube channel. Members get access to exclusive videos, pdfs of scripts, and can join our private Spotlight English Facebook group.
