Beaten and bruised, the Rockies entered Washington. They just saw their best friend, the great Apollo Creed, die because Bud Black didn’t throw the towel fast enough. Instead, he threw a lineup card with their best hitter in the 9-hole and their 2nd best hitter on the bench, but that’s another story. The odds, as […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?The baseball world was left stunned Sunday evening. There I was, enjoying the last bits of relaxation my family afforded me on Father’s Day, feet up, scrolling through my feed, when I see Rafael Devers on the move to SF. Makes sense, given the clear fumbling of this relationship on both sides. However, the return […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?One thing we all learn quickly in Fantasy baseball is Object Permenance…or really lack thereof. Just when we are sure we have a handle on playing time, it changes on a dime, often for no perceptible reason. The Rays always confound us, but oddly enough, they have a predictable lineup for the moment. Lots of […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Did you know that LHPs on average hold hitters to a below average wRC+ while RHPs allow above average offense. Without factoring in price or ownership, rostering left handed starters would be a better statistical play over time. Most of the lefties today are priced up, but Matthew Liberatore is less than 8k and faces […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Rafael Devers is headed to San Francisco in a stunner that sends Kyle Harrison, Jordan Hicks, and two prospects packing. We break down the fantasy baseball fallout, Devers’ long-brewing drama in Boston, and what this means for the Red Sox, Giants, and your corner infield plans. Shohei returns to the mound. We discuss a couple […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Was between Ryan Pepiot (8 IP, 1 ER, 6 baserunners, 11 Ks, ERA at 3.11) and Ohtani for the lede and I went with the “eating your vegetables” vs. “dessert as every meal” lede. I mean, which would you have chosen? Dessert? [eyes your waistline] You don’t say. So, Pepiot’s numbers look promising, and the […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Happy Monday, Razzball faithful! I take ONE WEEK away from the list, and things go to hell in a handbasket. I barely had enough time for a brewski on Father’s Day! Hey, look! It’s another injured starting pitcher! What’s happened over the last fortnight to cause such a stir? Well, when I sat down this […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Happy post-Father’s Day, Razzball world! I say that knowing full well that the key demographic for our delightful corner of the internet are middle-aged men fending off sleep deprivation while trying to keep their kids on the right path in life. What’s the right path? Why, the path that understands that Star Trek is better than Star Wars, of course! I should stay on brand. Are we teaching our kids that closers don’t matter, and never to draft a top catcher? As long as we unite along those unchangeable truths of the universe, we’ll be fine. Now let’s help your fantasy team a little bit!
Please, blog, may I have some more?A belated Happy Father’s Day to all the dads, granddads, step-dads, and even all you dads-to-be in the future. I’m writing this on Father’s Day, and I just finished the time-honored tradition of dads teaching their sons a lesson. That’s right, my son wanted to take me on in a game of driveway hoops. He […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?So, I was enjoying my Father’s Day with my dog, Ted. He was tossing me the frisbee, I was catching it in my mouth (in our house, we don’t assign roles). Then it was announced that Rafael Devers was traded to the Giants, and I started rolling on the floor, laughing, and Ted gave me […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Well, well, well. Take a look at that. We have a veritable smorgasbord of options placed before us this week. The quality isn’t too bad, either, though the matchups are a bit of a mixed bag in many cases. I feel like I should have more to say as way of introduction to the rankings […]
