For the past few weeks I’ve been super pumped for Dan Straily‘s arrival — like, Brett Lawrie-on-a-shizzload-of-RedBull pumped. I first wrote about him here, providing a little background and a brief scouting report. Then, earlier this week, I rolled out my Top Ten Prospects for the Stretch Run, and Straily topped the list. He debuted […]

C.C. Sabathia was sensational Friday night as he held the Mariners to 3 runs and just 3 hits in a complete game, striking out 10. With the loss, the Mariners impressive win streak ends at seven. Poor Sea-Seattle, but no surprise their impossible dream ends in Yankee Stadium. We’ll always have that one unforgettable week […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?So my weekly piece comes on the heels of the awesomely fantastic Stream-o-nator, which was dropped by the other fellas that run this piece. It is a great little widget for fantasy baseball and a great stocking stuffer for the kids come Festivus. So what else happened in the week since we checked each other […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Sorry, but I have to now… Some of them try to pitch but they can’t pitch like this… Some of them try to pitch but they can’t pitch like this… Some of them try to pitch but they can’t pitch like this… Some of them try to pitch but they can’t! Slap yourself in the mouth if that just reminded you of the […]

Please, blog, may I have some more?The Oakland A’s called up their prized prospect, Daniel Straily, to start tonight. Their prized prospect that no one even heard of before this year. Is that egg on your face, Keith Law? “Actually, it’s a sous vide’d ostrich egg with fleur de sel. I harvested the fleur de sel from the sweat on the back […]

Guys who walk a lot and have a good slugging rate can be overlooked due to some of their flaws, but carry value in OPS leagues. Here are a few high strikeout […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Don’t you love when New Yorkers say the expression, “I got your _____ right here!” Coming out of the right taxi driver’s mouth, it’s like a cello being played by Yo-Yo Ma. Sometimes it can get confusing when you are actually trying to tell someone you’ve located something. Like, “I got your cellphone right here!” […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Rudy’s on vacation, so Nick and I go it alone for today’s podcast. No fear, I have a shizzton of coffee and talk amongst myself like I’m freakin’ Daniel Johnston. This, sir, is not a podcast. Yes, it is. No, it’s not. And I go on like that for a good thirty minutes. When I’m […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?A few of these guys are up as of recently. Others aren’t, but should be soon.

Please understand that I’m using the term “prospects” loosely here — some of the names that follow […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Shane Victorino has long been a benchmark for many other players’ production here at Razzball. Dexter Fowler is Feign Victorino; Alejandro De Aza is Should-Hit-The-Gym-And-Train Victorino; Ryan Zimmerman is Bane of my Existence-rino. I look at Victorino like a proud papa. Back in 2008, when people wanted to drop him after he started losing time […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?How does Oakland do it?
