Some weeks the two start options are full of showcase pieces that immediately catch your eye. Some weeks feel like we’re getting the leftovers and it’s hard to get very excited about what’s on offer. Then there’s this week, which feels like a confusing assorted grab bag of options. There are a few of the […]

The injury bug hit hard this week. The biggest blows saw Zac Gallen and Yu Darvish get put on the IL. Hopefully, they can get healed up and back in action sooner rather than later. Their likely replacements are listed below, and you very much do not want to use either of them. Alek Manoah […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?The last couple weeks provided an abundance of guys you wanted to get into your lineup. This week offers a much less rich selection. It has more question marks, for sure. I’m interested to see what happens with the home run rate across the league as we get into June. To this point, it has […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Last week I commented on how nice the selection of quality options at the top was. This week, however, goes even deeper. Realistically, I’d feel pretty good about using any of these guys down to at least Charlie Morton among the Oatmeal Cookies. Even after him, I’d feel better about using any of that tier […]

For maybe the first time this season, there’s actually a nice selection of quality at the top of the weekly two start pitchers. Aaron Nola is volatile enough that it might not make you feel quite as warm and cozy as you’d like when you set your lineup, but such is life. Anyway, this week’s […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Star Wars: The Phantom Menace was back in theaters this weekend to celebrate its 25th anniversary. Remember how excited people were for its release? There were people who camped out for weeks in order to be first in line to see it. The wait for Star Wars to return to the theater had been a […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?This week’s teams to keep your eye on are the Astros and Dodgers. Framber Valdez is off the IL, and to make room for him it was J.P. France who got optioned down to AAA. That means Spencer Arrighetti retains his place on the roster and in the rotation. What is unclear at this time […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Much to my frustration, the tables below will never be perfect. Pitchers expected to do well will get blown up. Offenses you expect to pile up runs will be frustratingly flummoxed by forecasted failures. Injuries and weather will wreak havoc. But what frustrates me most is when we simply don’t know what order we expect […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Injuries are the worst. That isn’t exactly breaking news, I know. But you know what else is the worst? Rain. Oh, sure, farmers will tell you we need it in order to grow the crops that allow us to eat. Your third grade teacher probably told you it’s a normal and necessary part of the […]

Alright, here we go. Last week was like the first batch of cookies out of a new oven using new baking sheets. It was alright, but there were kinks to get sorted out. We’re good now. Dialed in and ready to roll. The only things that can stop us are inclement weather, fickle managers, and […]

Hi, everyone! I’m Jeremy, but my friends call me the Latch-Key Kid. Does that have to do with my last name? Yes. Is it because when I came home from school my parents were still at work and so I was left to fend for myself for a couple hours? Also yes. But that’s how […]
