Pirates’ doubleheader didn’t start well with Jared Jones going 4 1/3 IP, 5 ER, ERA at 3.69. Hey, Regression Fairies, I hate you. The first game was all Tarik Skubal (7 IP, 0 ER, 4 baserunners, 8 Ks, ERA at 2.01). Why can’t every one-time top prospect pitcher, who hasn’t broken out, break out like […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Been a downbeat week around the fantasy game. Nobody likes to see a star like Ronald Acuña Jr. lose another season to injury. Baseball is just a tick less interesting today. For our game, there’s not much one can do to replace an Acuña. In a 15-teamer where I’ve gotten off to a fast start and am in first place, I traded Kodai Senga, Landon Knack and Abimelec Ortiz for Brandon Nimmo. He’s not going to approximate Acuña, but he should fill an outfield spot and help me hold down the Runs category. He’s batting third this season and is on pace for his best RBI season by a long ways, even as his batting average has tumbled. He’s painting the statcast bars red, and his career outcomes suggest he’s got upside in the batting average category. Now I just need to replace a few dozen stolen bases. No big deal, right?
Please, blog, may I have some more?Welcome back stolen base aficionados. The calendar is about to turn to June, and the fantasy teams are shaking out into the contenders and the teams prepping for Fantasy football season. Today we are going to discuss the classic 2002 Tom Hanks and Leonardo Dicaprio film Catch Me If You Can. The Steven Spielberg biographical […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Nothing like a good Memorial Day week check in. Thanks to all who served, and let’s just get to the content. MVP: Alec Bohm. Based on where he was drafted and his top 5 player status, this guy has been a fantasy owner’s dream. I’m sure you all who have drafted him have regaled your […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?I’m still an honest Mariners fan. The offense still is not particularly threatening (despite SOME recent success) and Justin Verlander is Justin Verlander. Kirby is on the mound for the Mariners. This is easily one of the best pitching matchups of the evening. There is no reason why both Verlander and Kirby can’t dominate the […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Braves are calling up one of their top pitching prospects, Spencer Schwellenbach, for today’s game. That’s right, Schwellenbach is a Braves’ pitching prospect, and not what the doctor says every time Brandon Lowe complains of lower back pain. “Sorry, your fourth and fifth vertebrae are pressing against each other. You have a Schwellenbach!” Kinda crappy […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?What’s poppin’, Razzpimples? Remember to bookmark that Razzball Bullpen Chart, y’all! I update it obsessively. Also, if you’re a sub (you should be a sub…it’s great value), you get access to RP Projections and the super badass Relievonator Game Log tool, in addition to all the other awesome tools we have to offer. Hittertron and Streamonator, etc. Let’s do it […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?It’s a holiday weekend and I’m all thrown off. Holiday Mondays are always weird for me and writing this article. Collecting data while my schedule is all helter-skelter. Am I the only one who gets really thrown off by unstructured days off? I eat at weird times, I feel like I’m wandering through the day, […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?The Yankees offense has been on fire lately, specifically their OF. The numbers are astounding in terms of stats like Barrel %, avg EV, max EV, babip, HR/FB, and the countable stats like HRs, RBI/R are also adding up. It would be misleading to try to send you in another direction tonight and I am […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?On this week’s episode of the Razzball Fantasy Baseball Podcast, Grey and B_Don do their best to support each other through these tough times as the #1 player from 2023, Ronald Acuña Jr., has received some terrible injury news. What does it mean for the Braves lineup and who might be coming in for more […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?How dumb is MLB? How about: You have a sport where teams play 162 games and you don’t have every team play on Memorial Day. MLB could own all holidays from April until October. It’s so easy. If you don’t want all day games, fine. Have them play night games. Have them mid-day. Just have […]
