Bullpen recap time!
Don’t forget to keep that Razzball Bullpen Chart bookmarked. It’s been updated with the latest, and I’m usually quick to get it touched up once any type of news drops. And if you’re not a subscriber, I do highly, highly, highly recommend it. Please, blog, may I have some more?
The intention was good. The rankings were being worked on. The notes were made.
Then I realized all the interesting outliers were from the same team! Then we went over 500 words on them and just figured that would be enough. Please, blog, may I have some more?
[shakes up a sparkling water, cracks open the bottle and sprays strangers on the street] This Excitement Facial is courtesy of Soderstrom! Why the anger? An Excitement Facial is something you want to take part in and is extremely fun! Geez, sorry, you don’t have to punch me! Please, blog, may I have some more?
It’s funny to me that every season we forget the ridiculous amount of pitcher injuries that happened the season before. This year may seem like we have a lot of pitchers getting hurt, but this is literally every season. Can you remember April of 2024 when we lost Spencer Strider, Shane Bieber, and Eury Perez in the first two weeks of the season? Please, blog, may I have some more?
What’s wrong with Elly De La Cruz? Only three stolen bases over two weeks into the season. This isn’t the guy Grey drafted. Being on pace for a 30/30 season is so old school. These guys in the stolen base leaderboard below are the real heroes. Please, blog, may I have some more?
We are nearly 10% of the way into the MLB season, high time to make snap judgements on all our teams and every player in the league. So let’s gather around the Festivus table and find the outfielders who have most disappointed us over the past two+ weeks. Please, blog, may I have some more?
Americans (at least pre-tariff Americans) would feel very adept at navigating a slate like tonight, but in actuality, they would be prone to massive bias. There are just too many options and while Americans have been used to plentiful options throughout the past 50 years at least, we are prone to bias as a way to navigate the system more efficiently.

On this week’s episode of the Razzball Fantasy Baseball Podcast, Grey and B_Don talk about some players that have gotten off to opposing starts. We begin the show with some guys who have started the season well, and we discuss whether we think Kyren Paris, Tyler Soderstrom, and Easton Lucas are for real. Please, blog, may I have some more?
Tanner Houck went 2 1/3 IP, 11 ER, ERA at 9.16, and I don’t care how you “fantasy baseball.” You can “fantasy baseball” by drafting catchers early. You can “fantasy baseball” by taking pitchers early. You can “fantasy baseball” by not wearing pants. Please, blog, may I have some more?
Happy Monday, Razzball faithful!
We’re officially halfway through April this week! We’ve got the excitement of surprising starts, the giddiness of percolating breakouts, and, of course, the reality that is starting pitcher injuries.
Because, of course, there are injuries. So many Eflin injuries. Please, blog, may I have some more?
