Freddie Freeman (1-for-3, 2 runs and 1st homer) wasted no time making the Braves regret the way they treated him this offseason. First at-bat, Freddie Freeman stepped towards the box, but first he asked to see the mic the umps use to announce the bad calls they make to the crowds. Freeman leaned into the mic and said, “Tell Acuña it’s mutual, I don’t like him either,” then took the 2nd pitch of the at-bat to deep left, the oppo taco as they call it in Mexico, and his first home run of the year was tagged. As he sashayed across the plate, he snapped and said, “Braves ain’t gettin’ none of this.” Snap! Speaking of which, what do you call every image of Freddie Freeman? Tooth pics. Take it, Highlights! It’s yours! Freeman sure has some teeth, right? The molar the merrier with that guy. Stop stop, he’s got fillings too! Okay, I will stop reading bad joke posters at a kiddie dentist now. So many games were postponed, but some still to go over, tooth be told. Anyway, here’s what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Clayton Kershaw – 5 IP, 4 ER, 6 baserunners, 7 Ks, ERA at 3.00. Yeah, but he threw more pitches though, so this was a better start.
Cody Bellinger – 2-for-4, 2 RBIs and his 2nd homer. So, before I was out on Cody Bellinger, I was ‘really out’ on Cody Bellinger, but before I was ‘really out on him,’ I was ‘so totally out on him,’ but before I was ‘so totally out on him,’ I did think if he figured it out, he could be solid, unlike Yelich, so I was just out on and never back in on, then out again multiple times.
Huascar Ynoa – 3 2/3 IP, 5 ER, ERA at 13.50. Ynoa, that sucked.
Ozzie Albies – 1-for-5 and his 5th homer. Let Acuña come back already so Albies can stop hitting leadoff, and I can get some RBIs with all these Albies homers.
Eric Lauer – 6 IP, 1 ER, 6 baserunners, 5 Ks, ERA at 3.48. He was a popular sleeper in fantasy leagues this year. Not by me, but by people. People I invented who don’t exist? No, real people. The narrative went “Brewers are good with pitchers, Lauer is a Brewers pitcher, ergo.” I didn’t fully buy in for draft season, but if I were afforded the opportunity to grab him off waivers, I could see it.
Christian Yelich – 2-for-3, 4 RBIs and his 1st homer, a grand salami. Which rhymes with Yelich’s mommy. Hmm…Prolly just a coincidence. Yelich looks super cooked. This home run against the very awful Pirates aside, his Launch Angle is putrid. Maybe he comes out of it, but Yelich sat dead-red on a softball change and hit it out. Against real pitchers, he’s been hitting them hard to 2nd base.
Diego Castillo – 2-for-4 and his 1st homer.
Pirates’ front office sees Diego Castillo hit his 1st homer and decides tomorrow it’s time he learned a new position in the minors pic.twitter.com/ILgUWQBHfJ
— Razzball (@Razzball) April 19, 2022
Ryan Pressly – Said he’s feeling great. Exactly what you want to hear a day after he’s placed on the IL.
Yordan Alvarez – 3-for-5, 3 runs, 4 RBIs and his 2nd and 3rd homer, as he was activated from the Covid-IL. Don’t want to get ahead of myself with Captain Woo Cubano, but a 50-homer season is incoming.
Jose Altuve – Left yesterday’s game and might’ve tweaked his hamstring. Excuse me, with Altuve it’s a cocktail weenie string.
Luis Garcia – 5 2/3 IP, 3 ER, 5 baserunners, 7 Ks, ERA at 2.79. The whole rocking-the-baby-to-sleep pitching motion only works if you put up a boring line with no earned runs. Three earned and I can’t sleep in your arms.
Michael Lorenzen – 3 1/3 IP 4 ER, ERA at 4.82. How long until the Angels are like, “So, can you, like, hit?”
Max Stassi – 1-for-3 and his 2nd homer. There’s no secret police about this Stassi!
Jonathan India – David Bell said India won’t start any games before Friday. Wait until Dumb Bell hears about IL stints. Game changer!
Nick Senzel – Activated from the IL, after recovering from the stomach bug that is going around the Reds’ clubhouse. Mean’s while, Tyler Naquin hits the IL. Reds are playing musical chairs with a toilet.
Nick Lodolo – 5 IP, 3 ER, 8 baserunners, 8 Ks, ERA at 8.00. Yolo Lodolo has become Yodefd Lodolo (You Die Every Fifth Day). Well, it could’ve been worse. He had eight Ks, and five groundouts in five innings. Only fly ball left the park though.
Tommy Pham – 3-for-4 and his 1st homer. Triumphant return for Pham! To San Diego that is, not to the Champagne Room.
Manny Machado – 3-for-4, 2 runs, 2 RBIs and his 2nd homer. I think I see what’s going on here. Manny is carrying the team without Tatis, so this way he can lay it at Tatis’s feet when they don’t make the playoffs.
Bryce Harper – 1-for-4 as he deals with elbow soreness. Was a bit of a non-story a few days ago when Harper threw the ball back to the infield and grabbed at his elbow. Didn’t see anyone reporting on it, but all I could think was it looked like the kind of injury that produces one of these lines, “Yeah, my elbow has been bothering me all year,” which he says in October after having a bad season.
Aaron Nola – 5 1/3 IP, 2 ER, 7 baserunners, 4 Ks, ERA at 5.52. Honestly, in Coors, I expected worse.
Chad Kuhl – 6 IP, 0 ER, 3 baserunners, 4 Ks, ERA at 0.87, but left with an injury. Not Kuhl.
Charlie Blackmon – 1-for-2, 2 runs and his 1st homer. “Feathered hair flowing, spur of the boot into the side of the horse, that’s Chazz Noir, pardner. And he doesn’t get older, he gets better.” That’s Bud Black reading a Chazz Noir romance novel about the old cowboy who rides a horse that has tennis balls on its hooves to mimic a walker.
Lou Trivino – Hit the Covid-19 IL, along with A.J. Puk, Kirby Snead, Jed Lowrie, Chad Pinder and Austin Allen. My suggestion is trade one of these guys to each AL West rival, then let them superspread in the clubhouse and then you run rampant, so to speak, through the division. Imagine this: Maddon, “Hey, A.J. Puk, glad we have you on the Angels now after your trade, you’re gonna be super valuable.” Then A.J. Puk stands super close to Ohtani and Trout, and coughs. Not really sure how long Trivino will be out or who will get the saves while he’s out. My guess is Dany Jimenez or Domingo Acevedo and neither are worthwhile.
Frankie Montas – 6 IP, 1 ER, 4 baserunners, 5 Ks, ERA at 3.63. Between Montas and Manaea, daddy’s pitching is doing fine, thanks for asking.
Shane McClanahan – 6 IP, 1 ER, 4 baserunners, 9 Ks, ERA at 2.40. Out-of-town announcers are hilarious. Yesterday, they were like, “McClanahan is going to be a star one day.” Dudes, he is a star. Right now. He’s even putting an ace-whipping on your team.
Frank Schwindel – 1-for-4 and his 2nd homer. More like Schwingdel! Is that something? Something to stop? How about schomething to schtop? Still less? Okay. Schwindel homered a few days ago, and might be starting up the hot schwotato!
Patrick Wisdom – 1-for-3, 2 RBIs and his 1st homer. Hey, not to judge, but true Wisdom would be homering every at-bat.
Dylan Bundy – 5 1/3 IP, 1 ER, 5 baserunners, 6 Ks, ERA at 0.87. Not sure what I did in a former life to always be in on guys a year before they break out, but how do I make retribution for it? Can I give to a charity of God’s choice? Okay, so the Sawx had their B team in there yesterday, and Bundy’s become a different pitcher so far this year — or fart his year, if you’re reading fast — but it’s not all good. His 7 K/9, 0.9 BB/9 is not sustainable. Maybe he has some value, and I wouldn’t be opposed if the Streamonator likes him for a matchup — watch out if the matches up and you’re going to fart his year — but he doesn’t look like newfound awesome.
Jorge Polanco – 2-for-5, 4 RBIs and his 2nd homer. *makes siren noises* Uh-oh, here comes the JoPo.
Christian Vazquez – 2-for-4, 2 runs, 2 RBIs and his 1st homer. Aw sookie! Thus begins Christian Vazquez’s one week hot streak in April. Get in while the gettin’s still worth gettin’.
Rich Hill – 4 2/3 IP, 4 ER, ERA at 7.00. There might be some truth to the rumors that Rich Hill is a vampire. He never ages, he sucks during the day, and he was beaten by Garlick.
Blackmon or Vaughn ROS?
Hey Grey,
Barnes was just dropped in my league. It sounds like they want him to reclaim the closer role. Is he worth my number 1 waiver priority? I could drop J.Duran or Rainey. I LOOOOVE Duran but not sure that they will be handing him the closer gig anytime soon.
Brash or Heaney?
Framber Valdez or Hunter Greene? Framber hasn’t looked good in his past two starts.
Trey Mancini is available in my league, would you drop either Voit or Kelenic for him?
JuRod (l’chaim!) batting 6th. LFG!!!!!!
He stinks !
You shut your whore mouth! Dorothy Mantooth is a saint!
LOL. 2 steals!!
<3
Double legs!
Suck it, Trebek
Limited moves league, may need a replacement for Altuve, have Abrams but can drop him for these possibilities, probably need hr/rbi, what do you recommend, thank you!
Pena Estrada Iglesias Suarez Gleyber Mateo Urshela
Would you trade Lux or Torkelson for Carlos Carrasco.
Lux
Seasons greetings,
I’ve got two or three too many young arms but having trouble dropping the axe. Ranks or thoughts on which of these guys I can dump?
– Descalfani
– Brash
– Luzardo
– Green
– Ryan
(My top 4 is Scherzer, Gausman, McClanahan and Verlander)
Ryan, Descalfani
Help! I own Jonathan India in 4 leagues, and in two of them, I have no one eligible at 2B. Please provide the top 2 choices for those teams,
Y1. Mateo. Estrada. Flores. Villar
Y2. Profar, Mateo, Flores, Estrada, Wade
Waivers tomorrow morning.
Mateo, Estrada
Mateo, Estrada
that’s insane, 86, but of course i’m assuming zero bids exist.
Zero-value bids exist. The bids are blind to other players. It will process highest bidder as the winner, and tie-break with a waiver priority value.
Thanks for your feedback.
I really hate this waiver system by the way, I play in 6 Yahoo money leagues. I miss just being able to pick up a player and know you have him. Now you have to put in like 9 waiver moves to pick up two players.
I’d go to 86
I’d go 86 as well. I can’t believe somebody dropped him, hope that’s a money league!
Haha, just an ePeen league!
$85
Thanks Grey!
No problem

I received an offer for Seiya Suzuki in my 6×6 OBP/QS keeper league today:
Seiya ($16 – to keep next year)
for
Shane Bieber ($27)
Seiya
Bohm was a 3B to target in preseason and his bat’s woken up a bit, especially with Stott struggling. You also really like Mercado.
Drop Bohm or Mercado?

Thanks!
Mercado
Grey
Can I drop Gleyber for Joc Pederson, Dozier or Thairo Estrada
With Pederson at least I should get HR’s and RBI Dozier maybe the same with Estrada maybe lightning in a bottle, He is playing well
Thanks
I’d try to hold, but Joc
Grey

Good afternoon Grey-
Two pressing issues for my teams:
1)Buy high on Heaney in a league where he is owned? Where would you rank him among Megill, Trevor Rogers, Houck, or Joe Ryan?
2)With it appearing Walsh is in a strict platoon, do your projections for him take a hit? Adolis, Grichuk, Avisail are all available if you see an upgrade there. Walsh or Austin Meadows are currently starting for me depending on matchups until Acuna returns.
Thanks as always!
1. Meh, third or last
2. I’d go with Walsh over them
Grey,
I am at my wits end with Profar. Would you drop him for one of these 2B:
Thairo Estrada
Michael Chavis
Tony Kemp
Tyler Wade (not sure if he is playing everyday)
Jose Iglesias
Leaning towards Estrada and Kemp
Iglesias
oh gosh darnit cobb. just pitch, don’t play defense
Yeah, seriously
wow, TEX figured out who g.holland was a bit quicker than i thought they would. “oh wait, he’s THAT guy, get him out of here”
i make fun, but there’s the worse version, matheny looking at 5 year old stats and obtaining him twice on purpose, probably thinking the regression means the past comes back but somehow that aging doesn’t affect this.
Ha
Just when ya think ynoa guy…
Grey, is there even a sliver of hope it could b spencer strider’s time to join the rotaysh after sending a couple arms down?? That mustache needs to b on the bump every 5 days!
I’d love to see the stache but I doubt it
Hey Grey – Points league would you rather have Ober or Detmers for the rest of the season?
Ober
Don’t look now, but Maikel Franco is 9th best 3rd baseman on the player rater!
Early oddities
It’s funny. See?
Haha, oh yeah!
yep, then we got these SP: megill (1), bassitt (2), d.peters (17), heaney (4), k.wright (11), smyly (18), w.crowe (but not even as a starter in real life, 23). love to hear the correlation rate 12 days into season compared to end of it on this stuff.
Bench bat
Ward or Eddie Rosario?
Ward
Can only start one?
Ranger Suarez home vs Brewers
H.Greene home vs Cards
Cortes home vs Indians
Greene
SON says greene but it’s close and SON doesn’t often like rookies. but it also doesn’t tend to like weird RP into SP breakouts like cortes and ranger either.
Trade offer –
I get Machado and give up Goldschmidt.
Goldschmidt off to slow start, but I believe Cards have a better lineup and he put up better numbers than Machado last year.
Who do you like most in this offer?
Machado
Thanks Grey.
He wants to try and do a 2 for 2 now. He wants either Baez or Witt Jr. who would you mind parting with between these two? It’s a standard roto redraft.
Baez
Kapler playing the defense out of position all the time caused Cobb to over extend himself covering first.
If there is a DH,why is Brandon Belt,who can barely walk playing first base?
Yeah, ridiculous
honestly though, cobb took like 3 steps…. fragile POS ! glass Dahl shit going on here
Grey … h/h points 12 team …. Follow up .. I can get Bergman for Sandy even up … O’NEILL will be a tough get … can move Y Alvarez to OF and DH Bergman
Nah
Taylor Ward or Brandon Marsh?
Ward
Saves/Holds points league throw in Bender vs. Stl or Stanek vs. LAA tonight?
Bender
I don’t understand the rationale behind hitting Vogelbach leadoff. Are the Pirates trying to increase the number of double plays in the league?
Maybe avoid double plays bc he’s leading off
they saw PHI using schwarber at leadoff for some reason, and might as well follow the better city in the same state.
that’s not ME saying that about PHI vs PIT but those in PIT often lean that way. i’ve never been to either (almost went to PIT for crosby’s first stanley cup party but didn’t get train/bus ticket in time)
Yeah
Gotta love the double headers today. Regardless of positions, which player has more upside out of Ke’Bryan Hayes or Ketel Marte? I like both players but both on bad team so their counting stats are meh. Thanks!
Marte
14 team h2h keeper category
Hitting cats are OBP, HR, SB, R, RBI, TB

Megill
Manoah

Kikuchi
Snell
Sandy for Tyler O’Oneill — not with Eloy tho
Looking to buy low on Winker.
Jesse Winker – actual stats:
.111 BA
.278 SLG
.190 wOBA
Winker’s expected stats based on quality of contact:
.306 xBA
.469 xSLG
.348 xwOBA
He’s been one of the unluckiest hitters in baseball to this point.
Interesting
went and checked on site tool BABIP vs AVG and yep 44th least lucky hitter, should be hitting .247. more unlucky tucker should be .268, goldy .246, abrams .252, lou bob .334 (yummy), even sano .215
I’ve been fishing for Tucker, and dreaming of Bichette.
does Strider get the starting spot with Ynoa being sent down
Nah
They brought up Touki from AAA.
Yes
But he’s not in rotation either
Trade querstion [[10 team, 6×6 (OPS/QS) Dynasty (but I’m playing to win now)]]
My Corbin Burnes & Liam Hendricks
for his Jose Ramirez
JRam would be a huge upgrade over my Candelario, but Urshela and Villar are also FAs.
My SP is solid enough to do well combined with streaming (Cole, Houck, Ober, Sandoval, Urquidy, Garcia, Cortes, Montgomery).
Hendricks is literally my only closer. It was just a draft position I punted and figured I’d just play roulette and roll with whichever closers get promoted or get hot.
Nah and pick up Gio
Thanks, baby.
No problem, baby
Hi Grey,
I still am mulling of dropping David Bednar for Kegan Thompson of Cubs. I may be dazzled by Keegan having 51 points in my yahoo league while Bednar has 21 points. I certainly don’t want to make a short decision. I was interested in your rationale for keeping Bednar and not pursuing Keegan.
Thanks!
Hold
A few minutes ago, I asked which pitcher to drop for Hunter Greene; and you recommended Joe Ryan.
But I just realized how useless Kelenic (bench bat) has been. So I’m now thinking I should keep the extra SP and drop Kelenic instead. Do you agree that Kelenic is easily replaceable (e.g., Nimmo and McCutcheon are on waivers) w/o fall-off from Kelenic?
Sure
5×5 standard, drop Adell and/or Kelenic for any of Mercado, Marsh, Ward?
Adell for Ward
Grey, Adolis or Winker ROS? 6 X 6 no keepers, ROTO
BB and XBH instead of AVG and OPS
Winker
Better speculative save choice?
Jorge Lopez
Paul Sewald
Art Warren
Lopez
Meghill threw 130 IP between all levels last year.
1. How many IP do you think he realistically goes?
2. Is he not a strong pitcher for QS as they may need to limit his IP to last throughout the season?
3. Are you buying his early success as a true breakout as it looks to be?
1. 130
2. He can throw 6 IP in a start
3. Yes
Ynoa sent down to the minors. Ruh roh.
Yeah, that sucks
i beat them to off my roster (not a hard decision these weren’t 16+ leagues where i had him) by 10ish hours or so. i’ll take t.anderson’s piggy backing innings with gonsolin or tonight
Which side in this trade proposal?
McClanahan or Fried
Small six team shallow league using QS. All teams stacked in this size league.
Shane, same diff
I suppose Shane has the issue of pitching against TOR, BOS, NY were the NL East may be a little less intimidating less friendly pitcher parks than the AL East
True
I’d like to cut one (to pick up Hunter Greene) – JoMo, Ryan, Ranger. I’m assuming they’re essentially indistinguishable — but who is the loser? Or should I Hold (I only have 4 more moves this week).
Ryan
Elieser or Lodolo?
Elieser
Isn’t it time for Bellinger to change his stance and swing? Now that he is consistently hitting rockets. Has Roberts spoke with him about changing it up? Thanks.
Haha
I think Kuhl is garbage. However, as a diehard Pirates fan, every pitcher that leaves Pittsburgh seems to find immediate success, so is this another Morton, Glasnow, Cole, Baz situation?
Ha, that is true, huh? I wouldn’t touch Kuhl in Coors, but maybe stream in road starts
Need your pitching expertise
Please rank ROS
Elieser
Lauer
Ynoa
Blackburn
That rank
What do you expect from Elieser? I like the young competition. Same for Lauer. The guys around them HAVE to make them better, no?
I go over Elieser in my rankings, nothing’s changed
Hoped to catch lightning in a bottle with late round pick of Rendon. Instead I think I got a bag-o-glass. No Rendoni sonó buoni!
Anthony Rendon? He’s been better than I expected
Injuries seem to be an issue but maybe I’m expecting too much. Expecting Nationals Rendon is an overreach admittedly.
Rendon’s not very good anymore, but he’s been passable so far
seriously when’s the last time he had 2 steals in any 10 game window (or close to that)
Ha, true
I watched some of McClanahan’s start @CHC yesterday. Holy crap does he look good. Not important, but he works real fast, too. Skipping ahead 10 sec. to see next pitch was a dice roll.
Haha, yeah, watched too and felt same
Hey Grey! Could you help me figure out what do with my starts this week?
I need to start 6 of the following – which ones do NOT make the cut?
Sandoval @HOU
Stroman vs TB
McClanahan vs BOS
Manaea vs LAD
Suarez vs MIL
Houck @TB (? not sure what’s up w/him due to vax status and TOR series)
J. Ryan @KC
Gonsolin vs ATL
Carrasco vs SF
Thanks!
Sandoval, Houck, Ryan
Gracias! Hmm, surprised about Ryan @KC. Curious to hear which start would be the next up for benching beyond the three you shared.
Gonsolin
Man. Last year Josh Bell is my sleeper CI. He stinks on ice.
this year Josh Bell comes out the gate raking.
Surely there’s a name for this.
Sean Murphy’s Law
Perfect.
Ha, sorry
Franmil..buy low?
Winker….buy low?
Renfroe….wait and see or buy low?
Too early to tell?
Buy low on Franmil…Winker’s scary…Buy low on Renfroe
Start Grichuk or Straw today?
Straw
Are you holding on to Matt Barnes in 10 team H2H? Not that there are any good options on the wire.
In the same league I also have Winker. How is your patience with him? Arte the hits coming or is this another example of a player going to Seattle and not being able to hit? I could move Andrew Vaughan to the OF and add Choi, Lux Jesus Sanchez or Nathniel Lowe.
Carlos Correa was dropped in another 10 team H2H league and Im #1 on the waiver wire. Drop Dansby Swanson for him right? Mountcastle was also dropped in that league but I’m fairly stacked with my hitters in that league except for SS.
Can lose Barnes in a 10 teamer, I’d hold Winker, Sure, can lose Swanson for him
Awesome thank you!
No problem
Keeper with minor leaguer spots, dropping any of Oswald Peraza SS (NYY) Eddys Leonard SS/2B/3B (LAD) Grissom SS/3B (ATL) or Michael Harris OF(ATL) to pick up Orelvis Martinez SS (TOR) or hold?
Sounds like a question for Itch
Hey Gr~ey,
First off, your hair is like the Mona Lisa except hot, but second I got questions ya’ll…
12 Team, H2H, OBP, Keeper League…
1. Which side…Adalberto Mondesi (Non Keeper) for Jeremy Pena (15th Round keeper)?
2. Which side…Seiya Suzuki for Mondesi and Trevor Bauer?
3. Is Andrés Gimenez a drop due to his playing time?
Thanks as always!
1. Mondesi
2. Suzuki
3. Sure
Starting Sandoval against Houston today?
Yup
Thanks!
No problem
Based on the comments it sounds like your almost out on Kelenic. Is it crazy to hold over guys like belt and profar? I own Kelenic and jurod hoping one of them turns out
I’d hold for now, but just about out yes
big mistake!
Ha. What do you want for him, Grimey?
either Miles Straw or Vlad? Depends on needs haha.
Another JK HR!
Which side? 12 tm QS/OBP Dynasty
Mook ($38)/N.Cortes
or
Buehler ($16)/France
Rest of my team:
H: Nola, Albombso, JoeRam, Witt, Soto, Casto, B. Reynolds, J. Sanchez, Gurriel
P: Manoah, F. Peralta, Cobb, Luzardo, P. Lopez, Greene, Stroman, T.McKenzie, R. Iglesias, Bard, Barnes, Floro (IL)
Thank you, good sir
You know he’s going to say Betts. Why do you people ask these things?
Is it really that obvious? Betts hasn’t been healthy & is getting regular rest.
Bumping ideas against others. The fact that it’s obvious to someone makes me like the trade idea even more.
You know it’s just what he’ll say. I guess it depends on people’s outlook. It wouldn’t be terrible but he isn’t a fan of high cost pitching. It’s just easy to know, of course I read this everyday so yeah. Good luck.
Betts
Lol, thanks
No problem
Yesterday I watched a new show on the MLB network about daily baseball wagering. They had a blonde on, and her bet of the day shtick was taking the under on (5.5) strikeouts for McClanahan. I don’t do daily wagers, but ok (bad bet in the end). A good part of the hour-long program was all about betting. I think they interviewed a former player about pickleball or something though.
I had turned the MLB network on a bit earlier, and watched a group of four (non athletes?) sit around and giggle about what players were wearing to the stadium.
I can’t believe I pay for a premium cable package just to get the MLB network as part of my channel lineup, and I have to watch this garbage.
Screw them. I bought the subscription last season only to find out I couldn’t watch my team. They’re a joke.
HAHAHA, the end of your comment killed me
I swear, I must come here to gripe about the mlb network about three times a year. I don’t know why…
Haha
Please rank 1. Vaughn, J. Sanchez, Schwarber
2. Megill, Luzardo, L. Gilbert. Thanks
Schwarber, Vaughn 2. Luzardo, Gilbert
Some things I’m eyeing today: Luzardo o5.5 Ks, Bieber u6.5 Ks, Cobb o4.5 Ks, Sandoval o4.5 Ks, Ray o7.5 Ks (kinda high)
SON has Sandoval at low 4s estimate, but I think he can push across a 5th K at some point hopefully before he combusts like Mahle the other day.
Today’s Cardinals v Marlins is a coinflip game – both are at -110… It’s Luzardo v Wainwright… gotta think the edge goes to the Marlins if Luzardo pitches like he did last week right?
I’d go Luzardo and bang the over — Bieber under, Cobb over, Sandoval under and Ray under
yeah i wasn’t sure which way to go with Ray… I wrote off his last start cause of the conditions – they shouldn’t have been playing through that rain
Yeah, hard to say on Ray, hardest one there, tbh
SON has been doing a lot better so far than my experience with the NBA robot you guys have… perhaps the NBA robot can get that windows update/patch
I’ve been off HR props for a few days – gonna try it again sometime this weekend based off of Hittertron
Ah cool
interesting on Sandoval – you don’t think he can squeak by 5 Ks the way Mahle did?
I wouldn’t think so
Thoughts on Kikuchi? A lot of people are jumping on his u4.5 today against the Red Sox
Seems risky
Hi Grey i know how the pirates are but is Diego Castillo a trustier option over Brandon Marsh or Choi ??? I currently have Marsh & Choi but both may platoon vs lefties.
I’d go Castillo
Drop Marsh or Choi ? Thanks Grey
Marsh
Just here to vent. Tell me my offense will come around.
Goldschmidt, Witt Jr, Reyes, Merrifield, Julio Rodriguez, Kelenic, Kirilloff have combined for 2HR and are all hitting under .200
I also have Bo Bichette, hitting .222 with an OPS of .555
I know it’s early, but no one on my team has more than 1HR.
Please tell me it’ll be ok
Yeah, hate slow starts, but they’ll come around
Even Tucker? (I kid – he’s the king of slow starts)
I coulda had Albies. (Sobs quietly)
Ha, yeah, I’m suffering thru slow starts too…They suck
Nah, they are probably not that great.
hopefully im not spamming you but my comments don’t seem to be working well … 10 team league with OPS, kirk, bart, or elias diaz?
Are you starting:
Mcgill Home vs Giants
Luzardo Home vs Cardinals
Framber Home vs Angels
Eovaldi Home vs Blue Jays
Yes, all
bon giorno,,
drop urquidy for trevor rogers?
grazie
Yes, Rogers
better stash in a 12 team 5×5 league… Yaz, Lodolo, Robles, Candelario. Yes different things, but in a vacuum?
Lodolo, Yaz
Cut Eddie Rosario for Mateo? 12 teamer.
Nah
Add Lorenzen, Matz or Eflin over Nick Martinez or Rasmussen? W+QS scoring.
Matz over Martinez
I have a handful of guys that are off to slow starts: Winker, Grisham, Happ, Swanson, Torres, Schoop, and Avi Garcia. Make the change for any of the following?
Espinal, Aguilar, Yuli Gurriel, Brad Miller, Jaimer Candelario, B Crawford, Duvall, Kike Hernandez, Mercado, Rosario, Yaz, Bohm, Beer…
