I am late on this. Rotowire has taken over as the primary source for blurbs on Yahoo’s fantasy baseball page. You may think this passage will not apply to players using CBS, Fantrax, NFBC, or hell geocities, but I promise you this is going somewhere. And if you’re a long-time reader, you know my promises are real and rendered coherently.

What is up party people? Football season may be just around the corner, but don’t let that distract you from the most exciting part of baseball season, the stretch run to October. If you’ve stayed the course and are still reading I can only assume that you are still in the running for your league’s championship. For that I say, good job so far but there is still much work to be done. For crying out loud, there’s still a month and a half of baseball left. Now is the time to really load your team for the final push.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Sal Frelick is going to be a star, to be quite Frank. More Frank than a Barrone waiting for linguini alfredo the dinner table. The Milwaukee Brewers rookie has quickly made an impact at the big league level, but there’s planty of reason to believe the best is yet to come, as is often the case with young players. Here at Razzball, we’ve given you plenty of opportunities for free licks at Frelick, which you can read more about below. So if you don’t have an shares yet, it’s time to self-reflect, or Salf-refleckt. Here’s why you need to be holding your shares or scrambling for additional ownership of my pal, Sal, in dynasty leagues moving forward.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Mike Couillard and Jeremy Brewer have launched a pod, Cards & Categories, to discuss baseball from card collecting and fantasy angles! In our sixth episode, we open with discussion on Luke Raley’s unlikely homer in Oracle Park, Cedric Mullins’ fantastic Sunday in Seattle, and whether we should start stashing other players for the NL MVP Topps Chrome […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Reid Detmers (7 1/3 IP, 0 ER, 1 hit, 4 BBs, 5 Ks, ERA at 4.93) had a no-hitter finishing up the 7th inning at 104 pitches. Then, during the commercial break, he went into the dugout, with a notary public and wrote, “I, Reid Detmers, of sound mind and body, hereby bequeath my shoulder to science, so Phil Nevin will let me throw a 200-pitch no hitter, and I ask that it be called The Last Voyage of Detmers after that weird-looking vampire on a boat movie that is getting terrible reviews.” With that, the notary stamped it, and it was official forever. By the way, you ever walk into a notary and ask them to notarize something and they’re like, “This paper says you’re ruler of the U.S. and China. I can’t notarize this,” and you say, “Don’t make me go to war with your notary store.” No? Meh, guess it’s me! So, Reid Detmers either throws a gem or a dud. While he almost threw a no-no, he knows no in-between. He allowed 29 runs over his last 25 1/3 innings. Then, this. His peripherals look great, like he could be a 2024 fantasy beast, but I also don’t even know what we’re getting from him in his next start. Anyway, here’s what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Please, blog, may I have some more?The Giants swapped Luis Matos out for OF Wade Meckler, a mustachioed lefty with a great approach who’s been hot all season across several stops, slashing .379/.463/.522 with five home runs in 69 games across three levels. Well, four, now that he’s gone from High-A to the majors in a matter of months.
The Cardinals recalled 1B Luken Baker, who was hitting .334 with 33 home runs in 84 Triple-A games and should play a lot from here on out or at least earn himself more than a dozen starts.
Please, blog, may I have some more??Is Cody Bellinger now a top five first baseman, and a great pick in the first 24 players chosen? Cody has been a huge contributor for the position in average and in steals and also power. He’s just been tremendous and is a sure fire winner of the weird comeback player award. What has he […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Happy Wednesday, Razzball faithful! Welcome back for another run through the smooth ripples of the SAGNOF stream! Things are going to look a bit different than usual today, as our posting support made it tough for me to put together charts and visuals. But, fear not! We can still run through some information on steals […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?It certainly seems like Charlie Morton has hit the wall this year. The 39-year-old pitcher’s strike-out rate is down, the walk rate is up, and luck indicators don’t show that he’s getting unlucky. Today he’ll rate fine against a Yankees team that has continued to struggle, but I’m looking to target the big boppers. On […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Teoscar Hernandez (5-for-5, 3 RBIs and his 18th homer) hasn’t been that bad this year, right? *checks the Player Rater* Oh, he’s like at 40th overall. That’s not bad at all! 40 what? Haha, 40 ounces, my dude, let’s get that St. Ides! You’re not being distracted by that non sequitur? Okay, 40th *covers mouth so you can’t hear* outfielder. Not bad at all! Around Mike Trout, who’s been out since 2019, and Bryan De Palma Cruz. So, maybe Teoscar hasn’t been great thus far, but he’s one of those guys who could be the best in baseball for the final six weeks. Also, in this game, Eugenio Suarez (1-for-5, 2 runs) who was the last Mariners’ player who I said could be the best player in the 2nd half, and he hasn’t been bad at all (9 HR in roughly 150 ABs). Ty France (4-for-6, 10th homer) even got in on the action, as France hit a French fly saying, “That’s as good as it baguettes!” Finally, Josh Rojas (1-for-4, 2 RBIs) hit his 1st homer. It was a called shot. He called a weak bloop to 2nd, and it went out. Anyway, here’s what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
