What’s poppin, Razzpimples? Bullpen update time! Don’t forget, the Razzball Bullpen Chart is manned by yours truly and updated like every single second (not really, but I stay on top of thangs for the most part). And directly below, you’ll see a current look at the Top 15 RP (in both 5×5 standard leagues and 6×6 saves/holds […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?I don’t have enough spam, give me the Razzball email newsletter!
Weekly Razzball news delivered straight to your inbox.
So, how does everyone like midseason platform updates? No one has any comments on the new design? I didn’t imagine so, great, let’s move on… OK, I know we’re not getting out of here without addressing the big, pink, elephant in the room. The update is kinda crappy. However, I will say that many of […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Elly De La Cruz is the talk of the baseball world. There’s only been a few articles on him the last week here at Razzball. Guess I better jump on the bandwagon! He broke some FAAB budgets Sunday night in ways I have never seen. I got zero shares because I’ve already spent my fair […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?How long can 2 grown men talk about a 21 year old? Well, we put it to the test this week with the call up of Reds top prospect, Elly De La Cruz. Listen and find out how much Grey loves him. The Reds also called up pitching prospect Andrew Abbott who has thrown 11.2 […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Royals called up insanely fast speedster, Dairon Blanco (1-for-4). He’s so fast he just ran in your room, mussed your hair and ran back out without you even seeing him. His name translates to “Strike while the iron is white hot.” Roughly. I’m not a linguist. Dairon has 47 steals in 49 games in Triple-A, which is absolutely hilarious. Oh, and he’s 30 years old. Okay, so the Royals have one of those teleporters like in The Fly, and Rajai Davis was in it when a cheetah entered. They got zapped together and out walked Dairon. Idea Alert! Every MLB team should be required to have an 80-steal burner. Like they all have LOOGYs, they should all have Billy Hamilton clones. This isn’t an idea, this is a must-have. If your fantasy team’s steals are anemic, Dairon is your answer. Otherwise, I’d prolly wait to see the next guy to come out of the cheetah teleporter. Anyway, here’s what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Please, blog, may I have some more?Happy June, folx! I’m heading into the second stretch of the season with a bit more blurby-type approach, similar to your other favorite writers like The Itch and Chuck Palahniuk. I mentioned this early in the year as well, but I’ll repeat it here for good measure: I’m only responding to comments on the day of publication now. I love y’all, but I need to carve out some time for the people I call “family” instead of “folx.” I talk to Coolwhip and JKJ literally everyday and they have access to my data. If you haven’t said “hey” to them, give them a shout.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Yes, I could be referencing an old movie from the early 90’s, directed by the great Robert Redford and starring then a very young Brad Pitt, or I could be referencing the 1976 book the movie is based on. OR I could literally be describing Emmanuel Rivera‘s propensity to run through random objects. Walls, Jello, […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?What a week it was for MLB middle infielders, which featured the much-awaited Elly De La Cruz callup. He’s been as electric and entertaining as advertised with a loud homer, steal, and blowing past Reds third base coach to score one of his runs. Hopefully, you had him stashed or won him in your FAAB […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Tonight the Colorado Rockies travel to Boston to battle the Red Sox on zero days’ rest. A bottom-three road team on both sides of the ball, I’ll be looking to pick on the Rockies with bats and arms alike. Rafael Devers (3B, $5,800) is heating up and our DFSBot loves his chances against Connor Seabold […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?14.4% walk rate. That stands out as the difference between young players, who have promise, and what Gunnar Henderson (3-for-5, 2 runs, 3 RBIs and his 9th homer) has done. Thinking back to when Keston Hiura appeared to be a top prospect. He flamed out with a walk rate half of Gunnar’s. Gunnar Henderson just went through conceivably the most difficult stretch of his young career, and did it with a 14.4% walk rate. That’s remarkable. Most vets can’t do that. It’s common sense: A player struggles and starts swinging at everything and spirals out of control until they’re asking, “Is the whole team going to Golden Corral tonight?” as they stand in line for minor league meal vouchers. Yesterday, Gunnar hit the longest home run in Camden Yards history; it reached the street, then rolled to Hamsterdam. Since June, he’s hit .458 with four homers. He has a higher OPS than Kyle Tucker, Schwarber, Jul-Rod and Machado, to name a few. In the last month, he’s hitting near-.300 with a .265 ISO. To me, the most impressive number is still 14.4%. Gunnar sounds like a viking backwards and forwards, and you Cnut ask for more. Anyway, here’s what else I saw this weekend in fantasy baseball:
Please, blog, may I have some more?Hey there Bar patrons… I’m on vacation in beautiful Lake Tahoe with my family this weekend, so I’m going to make this one short and sweet. Spencer Strider is your single-start Point of Reference this week, worth in one start almost exactly what Jon Gray will be worth in two. Why don’t you and I […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Trading season is upon us and it is time to capitalize on our fellow owner’s frustration. In Germany, they call this schadenfreude or for those of us playing American baseball that is taking pleasure in the misfortune of others! It is time to scour the league and find the ugly ducklings and try to convince our competitors that we are really helping them out by taking problems off their hands. If you can convince somebody Ronald Acuna is a problem, then stop reading now. If you are the other 99.99% of fantasy owners, our hitter profiles focus on a few prime trade candidates that can be just what you need to push into the summer.
