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 […]

Weekly Razzball news delivered straight to your inbox.
It’s June 24th, everyone, and we have a ton of info as regards this MLB season. In fact, we can pinpoint the best plays and will likely hit on a bunch of those picks. However, not every “best play” will hit, which makes rostering the higher owned “best plays” a losing move in DFS. We […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?In the shadows of Gotham, B_Don and Grey emerge once more for another installment of the Razzball Fantasy Baseball Podcast. As the podcast begins, Grey, much like a brooding Bruce Wayne in the aftermath of a Gotham tragedy, mourns the Pacers’ crushing Game 7 loss, his soul as tormented as the Dark Knight’s after Rachel […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?“Trevor Rogers shoved, bro!” I hear that, and my first thought is, “I do not have a brother for Rogers to shove.” My second thought is, “Why is he shoving people? Does he need anger management? I am legitimately concerned for Trevor Rogers.” My third thought is, “There’s no third thought.” My fourth thought is, […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Happy Monday, Razzball faithful! It’s a bit early for the “Jose can you see” play on words, but I felt I needed to get this out ahead of July 4th. If you were one of the fantasy managers who took a chance on Jose Soriano way back in draft season, there’s no reason to say […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?For all my fellow Points League enthusiasts, welcome to another wonderful Monday afternoon. With the All Star game a few short weeks away, we’ve entered the home stretch of the first half of the baseball season. I’m talking to all you Roto players out there. For the Head-to-Head players, we’ve already passed the middle pole […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Chase Burns will be called up for Tuesday. Mr. Burns if you’re nasty or Smithers. Chase if you’re patio furniture or on the show Cops. CB if you’re a terrible ump with the last name Bucknor. Cha-Bu if you’re ordering something in a Korean restaurant and mispronouncing it. He is coming. The 2nd overall pick […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Chris Sale was originally scheduled to be a part of this week’s batch, but a trip to the IL due to a broken rib changes things. A lot of times when an ace goes down like that, the guy who takes his place is entirely underwhelming. This time, however, there’s at least a chance it’s Spencer […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?By the middle of the fantasy baseball season, the easy pickings are gone. The breakout stars are rostered, the hot starts have either flamed out or solidified into season-long assets, and the waiver wire has thinned to a collection of stat lines that look more like roster filler than game-changers. At this point in the year, value doesn’t scream, it whispers. This week in our hitter profiles, we’ll spotlight a few bats that have flown under the radar due to quiet or unremarkable starts to the season—players whose early stat lines kept them off the hype train, but who in recent weeks have started to show real signs of life. Whether it’s a swing adjustment, a lineup promotion, or just better luck on balls in play, these hitters are turning the corner and offering sneaky value for those paying attention. If you’re willing to dig a little deeper, these could be the difference-makers down the stretch.
Please, blog, may I have some more?I was pretty happy with last week’s streamers. The only real dud was from Hayden Birdsong, but San Fran switched up the matchup on us. That will be a common occurrence from our streamers as the season progresses because these rotations tend to get bonkers throughout the second half of the year. The nonsense shouldn’t […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Braves RHP Didier Fuentes debuted Friday night and looked okay for a guy who turned 20 just a few days ago (June 17). He allowed four runs in five innings but walked just one Marlin against three strikeouts. Pitchers a lot further along in their development have had much worse big league debuts, so while the statline isn’t impressive on its own, Fuentes is a rocketship of a pitching prospect in an organization that tends to coach these types into orbit. He started this season in High-A and has now pitched at four levels mostly as a teenager. His fastball velo was in the 81st percentile Friday night, and his 6.8 foot extension was in the 76th percentile. The heater got hit around in his debut, but I think it’s going to work against major league hitters as he grows into his early 20’s. Pretty good chance this was a spot start, and he’ll go back to Triple-A to get more than the one start he logged at that level.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Hello Razzballers, hope you are all keeping cool out there this weekend (outside of you lucky Pacific Northwestern dwellers) as summer has taken hold across the lower 48. While the temps have been rising, so have the tempers across MLB. Once again, the Dodgers and Padres hate each other (but please, don’t break Ohtani in […]
