Fantasy Baseball Overlord mainlines O. Henry stories, huh? It’s like, “Here ya go, you peasant,” the Fantasy Baseball Overlord says, “I will give you Edwin Arroyo.” We collapse and genuflect towards the almighty. Then the FBO adds, “And I will take Elly De La Cruz. Bye-bye, suckers!” NOOOOOOOO!!! Not like this! But it’s too late, […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?I was expecting regression from Munetaka Murakami. There’s just no way he could keep up with what he was doing. You don’t strikeout that much and not slump tremendously. Regression I was prepared for. Regression I could handle. Not an injury! Not like this! Nooooooo!!! I screamed into the abyss and waited and waited. Finally, […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Blake Snell had loose bodies removed, which is basically the end of every party in LA. If you’re not having loose bodies removed, and you’re at an LA party? I’m sorry, you got Carvel serving Fudgie the Whale? Because no self-respecting party in LA has zero loose bodies removed. I remember one party where they […]

Yesterday, Ronald Acuña Jr. went 1-for-3, 4 RBIs with a slam (3) and double legs (9, 10), hitting .238. The homer was a grand slam, and his 1st home run since April 24th. Got this text yesterday from my buddy and fantasy baseball ‘pert, Mike Gianella, “One healthy year for 2021-25, his ’22 and ’24 […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Cristopher Sanchez had a May. Oh, did he have a May. Yesterday, he went 7 IP, 0 ER, 6 hits, zero walks, 9 Ks, ERA at 1.47. That brings his May totals to 39 IP, 25 hits allowed, three walks, 45 Ks, 0.72 WHIP and a 0.000000000000000000 ERA. Scoreless. Cristopher Sanchez now has five consecutive […]

Names that are verbs are badass. Mark Spitz? Oh, hell yeah. Busta Rhymes? Yes, absolutely. Ben Folds? Okay, I’m with it. When going formal, does he hang out with Jeremy Irons? Hope so! That brings us to the A’s calling up, Gage Jump (5 IP, 4 ER, 10 baserunners, 5 Ks), the fantastically named double […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Eighteen no-hitters since 1962 for the Astros. That’s true. Now, for what it feels like, the Astros have used 89 pitchers in those 18 no-hitters. Astros have no respect for the record books! Alimber Santa (2 IP, 0 ER) finished it off last night. It was his debut. C’mon! Alimber Santa? That’s not a pitcher, […]

If you had a predictive market bet of two Reid Detmers (Detmerses? Detmii?) ledes on Razzball in the first two months, you win. Can you take me out to dinner? Without me, none of your good fortune would be possible. Tell me who you want me to do a lede for tomorrow and I’ll start […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?The Reds are paying Ke’Bryan Hayes through 2029. I will now snort-laugh for the next ten minutes and, afterwards, I will take a long-awaited siesta. Doing a quick google, “Has any team ever said to a player, ‘Nah, homey, you are awful, we’re gonna make you a fielding coach?” Google responds, “Using the colloquial ‘homey’ […]

As with all prospect call-ups, I like to get familiar with them, so I went to look at Esmerlyn Valdez and I was greeted by a 22-year-old Craig Monroe. I might be crazy with that comp. I went to look at Craig Monroe highlights (that’s how crazy I am), then watched Esmerlyn’s, and I can’t […]

This is going to be the most Drew Anderson-coded Tanner Bibee post, as the kids say. Drew Anderson went 4 2/3 IP, 0 ER, 4 baserunners, 7 Ks, ERA at 3.98, as he started a game for the 1st time since 2021. You remember 2021. That was the year you told your friend he was […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Royce Lewis sent to Triple-A. Hmm, let’s see the Twins’ top hitting prospects of the last few years: Luke Keaschall, Brooks Lee, Christian Encarnacion-Strand, Matt Wallner, Spencer Steer, Edouard Julien, Drew Gilbert, Trevor Larnach, Royce Lewis, Jose Miranda, Ben Rortvedt, and Redfin Smart Shopper, Alex Kirilloff. Quite the track record. It just so happens that […]
