Happy Wednesday, Razzball friends! I hope the first part of your week has gone great and you’re ready for another exciting (or kind of decent) reading session of SAGNOF with Marmossdad! Ok. I guess I can can (stuttery) the double S (esses?). Being a bit of an English teacher certainly has its benefits and drawbacks, […]

Jasson Dominguez has started his Major League career with a bang, smacking two homers and a double over his first four games. His one issue has been his strikeouts, but I like his chances to make contact against Matt Manning, who has struck out just 11% of the left-handed bats he’s faced this season. Batting […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?I’ll get to Jose Altuve, but, damn, the Astros were like, “Oh, yeah, Rangers, you’re going to challenge us for the division? That’s what you’re going to do?” Mean’s while, Mariners are like, “Hey, what about us?” Okay, now the lede: Jose Altuve did what? Three homers in three innings? Finishing with: 3-for-5, and his 13th, 14th, and 15th homer, which he hit in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd inning. Mark Whiten must’ve been sweating! I know this is about fantasy, but he’s a first ballot Hall of Famer. I’m not a denier of the Cheaty Cheaty Bang Bang Scandal. I am not an ostrich. But cmon. Has he been cheating every year of his career? Fine, wanna dock him one year for cheating? Do whatever you want, but he’s a Hall of Famer. I’m not just saying this because we’re the same height. Fine! It is that reason! Us Short Kings get one guy every 20 years, let us have Altuve! Anyway, here’s what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Please, blog, may I have some more?September is here, and Labor Day has past. What does this mean for people like me living in Eastern NC? Hurricane season. I moved here in 1999 which if you pay attention to such things, and you probably don’t unless you are on a coast (no reason to pay attention to hurricanes in Nebraska) I […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?I hope everyone had a relaxing Labor Day weekend celebrating you, the worker. The faithful cog in the machine of capitalism all get one day to honor them and all they do to keep the US of A chugging along. Mostly, it’s a weekend for fantasy football drafts, amiright? I know my home league uses […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Here we are, the last final full month of baseball with teams having roughly 25 games left in the season. It’s been a DFS whirlwind for me, I lost some cash in April, June, and August, but still more than made up for it in my two winning months of May and July. I am […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Grey and B_Don start the show with some discussion about the Julio Urias situation. We talk about setting lineups for stretch runs and the amazingness that is Ronald Acuna Jr. We talk about a few of the recent MLB team claims made by the two Ohio teams. Next, we move on to talk about the […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?There’s no point in me pointing out that I wrote a Justin Steele sleeper this preseason. It’s so long ago now! So much has been written since then! Has anything, perchance, been written that was that illuminating that the Pulitzer committee, all 12 people in Switzerland, all drafted Justin Steele in their fantasy leagues? Does it matter that people, who have been stopped on the highway doing 120 MPH, have been allowed to leave after showing the police officer my Justin Steele sleeper? Does it matter that my Justin Steele sleeper has made advancements in medicine to cure the hiccups? No! None of this matters! What matters is I wrote that gee-dee post, snitches! Yesterday, he went 8 IP, 0 ER, 2 hits, 2 walks, 12 Ks, lowering his ERA to 2.55. But that doesn’t even matter! The hiccups are now gone! Anyway, here’s what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Please, blog, may I have some more?How many of y’all are in the fantasy playoffs now? 10% of you? Stellar. I hope the rest of you are here for my excellent witticisms and occasional story about how Grey licks every pack of Pokemon cards while waiting in line at Target.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Happy Labor Day! September baseball’s here and rosters have expanded. Playoff teams look to give their regulars some rest down the stretch, teams outside of playoff contention are giving some of their prospects a look, and best of all, the casual fantasy manager has moved on to fantasy football. Here’s what’s going on around the […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Better late than never, right? Luckily for me it isn’t Patriot’s Day, so there is still time to get this info to y’all. Thanks for understanding, Barflys. This week’s Low Point of Reference is the Sawx’s James Paxton, who comes in just over the “I’m going to put your name in bold in the Bar […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Yesterday’s game in Cincy saw the Cubs and Reds combine for 22 runs. So, what’s going on with my son? Elly De La Cruz went 0-for-5 with four Ks? Forget Ticker Tease, that’s Ticker I’m-A-Born-Again-Virgin-From-That-Teasing. Not cool, man! Losing my virginity once was awkward enough! That 22 runs is why I get so scared of Reds starters in Great American Smallpark. It’s dangerous! It’s like if you’re allergic to peanuts and they throw you this:
