Weird thing happened yesterday, everyone threw a great start, but I had written a lede for all of them this year previously. Hate to double up, even though Shane Baz, Hunter Brown, Cristopher Sanchez, and Kevin Gausman were all worthy. So, instead, let’s marvel at Clayton Kershaw (6 IP, 1 ER, 3 baserunners, 5 Ks, […]

Weekly Razzball news delivered straight to your inbox.
Back in 1563, John Foxe wrote the phrase “jack-in-the-box” to describe a swindler who would cheat tradesmen by selling them empty boxes. First of all, I’m not trusting anyone from the 1500s. Secondly, I’m sure as hell not getting behind anything written or said by someone named Foxe. You think I’m crazy? In 2025, if […]

Please, blog, may I have some more?Yesterday, Yusei Kikuchi went 7 IP, 0 ER, 4 baserunners, 12 Ks, ERA at 2.82. This start had Streamonator losing its mind over it, predicting a start of 6 1/3 IP, 2 ER, 7 baserunners, 8 Ks. Yikes, not even close! Three fewer baserunners! Those two runs ended up unearned! And he had more Ks! […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Rays 1B Bob Seymour (26, AAA) might not be a big piece of the plan in Tampa, but he’s peeking over some shoulders while they ponder the blueprints. A 13th round pick out of Wake Forest in 2021, he has smashed his way through every level despite a modest defensive ceiling and a bit of a strikeout problem, although that might going the way of the dodo. Over his last 26 games, he’s slashing .343/.397/.676 with a 19.8 percent strikeout rate and a 172 wRC+. I’m not saying this is who he’ll be at the highest level, but I think players are closer to clay than cement, and Seymour is worth a look in just about every league if he gets a chance in the big leagues.

Please, blog, may I have some more?Everyone loves a dynamic duo. Frodo and Sam. Iron Man and Spider-Man. Kelder and the toilet. Apologies if you waited with bated breath for my Corners Report last week. Sunday and Monday, I was waylaid by a nasty bug, and had a lot to catch up on, so I wasn’t able to do the research […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?How about Framber Suarez! I mean, how about Ranger Valdez! Ramber Suadez! Frager Valrez! How about them all? Can you not put your hands together and celebrate good pitching without them being aces? You’re such a try-hard with your, “Ooh, I need aces,” and I’m like, “These guys are good enough for you,” all preseason, […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Cal Raleigh is single-handedly leading teams to the top of Razzball Commenter League standings this week. Big Dumper is going full Barry Bonds on the league, and from the catcher position. Your RCL Update host had him in one league and traded him (along with Tovar and Nootbarr) two weeks ago for Strider, Trout, and […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Welcome back to another edition of stolen base strategy here at Razzball. I took last week off as I do periodically throughout the summer when life gets busy between kids sports, work, and travel things can get hectic. If you read my articles in the pre-season and drafted Jose Caballero, Maikel Garcia, and Byron Buxton […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Full disclosure: I am about to rip off a topic. Ryan Bloomfield and Brian Entrekin (KC Bubba) of the Bubba and The Bloom podcast and Discord have created the “Jean Segura All-Stars”. The idea is that Jean Segura, who generally had an excellent real-life and Fantasy career, was someone we all tended to just keep […]
