This is from the Wikipedia entry for former Brewers’ manager, Harvey Kuenn:

That made me howl. “Otherwise respectable” is so funny there. “Kuenn was fired as manager with an otherwise respectable 87-75 record in 1983. Make sure you put in ‘otherwise respectable.'” Please, blog, may I have some more?
Dodgers SS Austin Gauthier (25, AAA) is off to a hot start at a new level, slashing .360/.467/.600 with one homer and a steal alongside five walks and five strikeouts in seven games. A four-year starter at Hofstra, Gauthier (pronounced Goth-e-er as in vampires are gothier than puppies) has never been a named guy but has found little resistance among minor league pitchers, posting big on base percentages and solid plate skills every step of the way. In the box, he features a high leg kick a La Justin Turner and delivers functional all-fields power. He’s probably available in all your leagues as an unheralded dude from nowhere, but I watch him and feel like it’s going to work against major league arms.
If you watched any baseball, read any Tweeters, or Fan and Graphs, you probably heard about the new Baseball Savant stat they are tracking.
Bat Speed. Gotta confess my initial apathy for the metric. How many different stats do we need? Please, blog, may I have some more?
The Astros offense is starting to click, and who better to figure it out against than the Oakland A’s? While they’ve surprised the baseball world to this point, they still aren’t very good. Not to mention they’re facing Aaron Brooks. He sports a career 6.55 ERA in 180 career innings pitched. Please, blog, may I have some more?
This post is going to be full stop. No nonsense. Just unadulterated smart stuff spewing from my brain to your eye thingies. Just wild moments of, “Oh crap, Grey’s doing smart stuff!” and you soak it up like a porous piece of focaccia and soapy water! Please, blog, may I have some more?
What’s poppin’, Razzpimples?
Remember to bookmark that Razzball Bullpen Chart, y’all! I update it obsessively.
Also, if you’re a sub (you should be a sub…it’s great value), you get access to RP Projections and the super badass Relievonator Game Log tool, in addition to all the other awesome tools we have to offer. Please, blog, may I have some more?
With all the call-ups and breakouts, it really makes me want to experiment next year by only focusing on the first ten rounds of offense, grabbing a starter, and a million relievers, and then just streaming/grabbing prospects to fill out my roster. Please, blog, may I have some more?
Never jump into a slate this big without taking a macro view of the slate. There are 4 aces priced above 9k and Ronel Blanco also has a nice start at an elevated price tag. The odds are pretty good one of those guys has a nice game that you will want to own. Please, blog, may I have some more?
Grey and B_Don are back for another episode of the Razzball Fantasy Baseball Podcast. We start off the show by talking about the new stats that have been released and how we might use them, or not. Next up, is the much anticipated debut of Livvy Dunne’s boyfriend, Paul Skenes. Please, blog, may I have some more?
I was told Alex Bregman would never do anything ever again. I was told by a Samoan in a grass skirt and it was right after taking peyote. Maybe I imagined that. Gosh, I’m kinda freaking myself out now. Was it a dream? Please, blog, may I have some more?
Happy Monday, Razzball faithful!
This week it dawned on me that I might need to roll something out for the younger audience. I mean, sending out Cat Stevens photoshops like this one is probably not reeling in the 18-35 demographic, that’s for sure. Please, blog, may I have some more?
