Good morrow, Razzballers! First, I’m so sorry for this title. Second, it’s another week of big name injuries, but the injuries this week are a little less serious than last week. There were some hamstring injuries and a few regular names returning (Stanton, Lodolo, Woo). One notable injury is Fernando Tatís Jr.‘s femoral stress fracture […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?“Hey, I was just walking through this factory outlet mall when I came upon your store. I heard of Big ‘n Tall shops before but this is my first time ever in a Tight ‘n Rumpy. It seems like all you sell is…pants? Is that right? What’s that? Oh, excuse me, all you sell is […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Greetings Razzball Friends! I thought we’d switch it up from our usual deep league picks this week, in honor of the approximate actual halfway point (as opposed to the not actual halfway point known as the All Star Break) of the baseball season. This is the time of year that I often find frustrating, because […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Expectations are a privilege, but they can be burdensome to live up to. One need look no further than the greatest of expectations, Dickens’s Great Expectations. The main character, Pip, inherits money from a secret benefactor. Pip thinks the money is the bridge or gateway to marrying the girl of his dreams. He ultimately learns […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Warning: If you do not take the time to review tonight’s slate, you will get burnt. DraftKings has 13 games lined up and there are not a lot of good pitching options. There are always plenty of good hitting options, but it’s much trickier than it normally is. There is no team that stands out […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Chris Sale (7 IP, 1 ER, 5 baserunners, 11 Ks, ERA at 2.79) is a Hall of Famer. Yes or no? Don’t think about it. No googling. Say your peace out loud so only you can hear it. What did you say? Yes? Then you’re right. If you said no, you’re wrong. His career stats […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?The 2024 Major League Baseball season is about 13 weeks old (almost halfway done already!), which means we finally have meaningful numbers that count to start evaluating our fantasy squads. With only 27 weeks in the fantasy baseball season, even a few weeks of information should help guide us to decisions about who deserves a […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?What is up party people? This isn’t the first time I’ve talked up Alec Burleson and all he’s done is keep up his breakout season. He’s now up to batting .285 with 12 home runs and is about to surpass last year’s point totals and we’re not even in July. There is no reason he should be available at this point in the season because he is not showing any signs of slowing down. If anything, it looks like he’s heating up with 7 home runs in his last 30 games. Even better he has let loose on the base paths. Speed wasn’t a part of his game in the minors so this may just be a blip but it’s nice to know the potential is there. There is still a small window here but it is rapidly slamming shut.

Please, blog, may I have some more?Maybe I’m jhuvenile but Jhonkensy Noel has me jhonking my nose in laughter. Jhonkensy? I ain’t Jhonkensy ’round these parts since the tennis courts closed in 2018. Excuse me, sir, my Jhonda’s jhorn stopped Jhonkensy’ing, and I am a very aggressive driver so I really need my jhorn to Jhonkensy. So, the Guards called up […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Giants RHP Hayden Birdsong will make his debut for the arm-starved Giants today against the Cubs. He’s pitched well since being selected in the sixth round of the 2022 draft, leaning into a high-velocity fastball to rack up the strikeouts: 75 K’s in 57.1 innings across two levels this year. At 6’4” 215 lbs with that heater playing well atop the zone, he fits the archetype for our times. He may not pitch deep into his starts, but he’s going to try and strike out every single batter with high heat and buried breaking balls as long as he’s out there.
