I don’t know if I’ve mentioned it explicitly before, but I am an Oakland A’s fan. I know, I know. Yes, I know the other one. This has not been an easy season to be an A’s fan. Frankly, what’s happening on the field is so dismal, it’s become far more interesting as an A’s […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?I think I need to clear something up about how the Dive Bar here works. Most weeks, whoever I’ve put in The Top Shelf, I’ve put there because they’re going to do better for you over the course of the week than any one-start pitcher in the same span. Pitchers don’t always do what I […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Happy Father’s Day to all the dads, granddads, stepdads, fathers-in-law, uncles, older brothers, and generally speaking, all the “father figures” out there making people’s lives better by being in them. My family let me sleep in this morning, so I’m in the best possible mood anyone could be in without psilocybin. What’s on your plate […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Another Sunday, another trip to the dive bar. At least that’s what my 20s looked like. You? No? Just me? OK fine then, well-adjusted member of society. Bully for you. There are a few very attractive choices this week, but even better, The Well is chock full of pitchers who, while they possibly won’t be […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Happy Sunday, Bar Patrons! I’ve been wondering if anyone out there has been doing any kind of tracking of these columns? I know I’m not, but maybe someone else is? Would be interesting to find the, say, median fantasy impact of the pitchers in each of my categories week to week. Of course, if I’m […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Welcome, Patrons, sidle on up to the bar and let’s take a look together at the coming week’s double-dippers. I’m sure I’m going to generate plenty of angry comments from fantasy managers with certain players below on their rosters, but hey, I’m just the messenger. These pitchers are who they are, and no amount of […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Cheers, Bar patrons! Ready for yet another look at the coming week’s two-start pitchers? Who should you stream? Who should you avoid? Let’s find the bottom of this proverbial bottle together!

Please, blog, may I have some more?Welcome, Bar patrons, to another weekend edition of the Two-Start Dive Bar! Getting ready for the upcoming week? I know I am.

Please, blog, may I have some more?Greetings and salutations, Bar Patrons! Welcome back to your favorite alcohol-consumption-themed fantasy baseball column! And an especially thankful greetings to all the moms out there, those who stream two-start pitchers, and those who don’t! And if your mom, wife, grandma, mother-in-law, etc., doesn’t play fantasy baseball? Maybe get them to try! Could be fun! OK, […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Welcome back, bar patrons! Hey, I’ve got some… bad news. This week looks rough for double-dippers. I mean, among the Top Shelf, there isn’t anyone that particularly stands out. They’re all good, of course, but there’s not necessarily a sure thing in the bunch. Looks like we’re all drinking the cheap stuff this week. On […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?We’re back! Another week in the books, another to look forward to. Remember, kids: it’s still April, and while yes, you need to react to what’s happening in the baseball world, it’s not yet time to start cutting players you spent real draft capital on. That comes later. I know this isn’t a FAAB/Waivers/Strat column, […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Hello there, RazzSlammers! The season has begun to progress in earnest, and it’s time we all take stock of our teams and what help we might need. To the rescue: the Waiver Wire! Unlike “standard” NFBC leagues, we don’t have weekly FAAB runs in the RazzSlam… after all, you drafted 42 players! But, unlike most […]
