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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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!   The Top Shelf Pitcher First Start Second Start Gerrit Cole, NYY BAL(MO) @TB(SU) Corbin Burnes, MIL @SD(TU) @STL(SU) Shane McClanahan, TB MIA(TU) NYY(SU) […]

Welcome, Bar patrons, to another weekend edition of the Two-Start Dive Bar! Getting ready for the upcoming week? I know I am. Let’s take a look together at this week’s double dippers! The Top Shelf Pitcher First Start Second Start Shane McClanahan, TB DET(MO) @BAL(SU) Luis Severino, NYY @BAL(MO) CHW(SA) Jameson Taillon, NYY @BAL(TU) CHW(SU) […]

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, […]

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 […]

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, […]
