The 2024 Major League Baseball season is now seven weeks old (a quarter of the way done!), which means we finally have meaningful numbers that count to start evaluating our fantasy squads. With only 27 weeks in the fantasy baseball season, even a few weeks of information should help guide us to decisions about who […]
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.
In our 44th episode, Mike Couillard and Jeremy Brewer open with banter on the new Statcast bat tracking metrics (Batcast?) before discussing the latest moves and news including new injuries plus prospect debuts. Then we analyze highly rostered hitters that have been dreadful to start the season. Is it time to move on from them? You can […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?This is from the Wikipedia entry for former Brewers’ manager, Harvey Kuenn: That made me howl. “Otherwise respectable” is so funny there. “Kuenn was fired as manager with an otherwise respectable 87-75 record in 1983. Make sure you put in ‘otherwise respectable.’” That’s the Ghost of Harvey Kuenn dictating to a Wikipedia editor, who he […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Dodgers SS Austin Gauthier (25, AAA) is off to a hot start at a new level, slashing .360/.467/.600 with one homer and a steal alongside five walks and five strikeouts in seven games. A four-year starter at Hofstra, Gauthier (pronounced Goth-e-er as in vampires are gothier than puppies) has never been a named guy but has found little resistance among minor league pitchers, posting big on base percentages and solid plate skills every step of the way. In the box, he features a high leg kick a La Justin Turner and delivers functional all-fields power. He’s probably available in all your leagues as an unheralded dude from nowhere, but I watch him and feel like it’s going to work against major league arms.
Please, blog, may I have some more?If you watched any baseball, read any Tweeters, or Fan and Graphs, you probably heard about the new Baseball Savant stat they are tracking. Bat Speed. Gotta confess my initial apathy for the metric. How many different stats do we need? We have xOBA, WRC+, WOBA, and all sorts of other things to not understand, […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?The Astros offense is starting to click, and who better to figure it out against than the Oakland A’s? While they’ve surprised the baseball world to this point, they still aren’t very good. Not to mention they’re facing Aaron Brooks. He sports a career 6.55 ERA in 180 career innings pitched. He’s going to give […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?This post is going to be full stop. No nonsense. Just unadulterated smart stuff spewing from my brain to your eye thingies. Just wild moments of, “Oh crap, Grey’s doing smart stuff!” and you soak it up like a porous piece of focaccia and soapy water! Why are you sopping soapy water? I don’t know, […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?What’s poppin’, Razzpimples? Remember to bookmark that Razzball Bullpen Chart, y’all! I update it obsessively. Also, if you’re a sub (you should be a sub…it’s great value), you get access to RP Projections and the super badass Relievonator Game Log tool, in addition to all the other awesome tools we have to offer. Hittertron and Streamonator, etc. Let’s do it […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?With all the call-ups and breakouts, it really makes me want to experiment next year by only focusing on the first ten rounds of offense, grabbing a starter, and a million relievers, and then just streaming/grabbing prospects to fill out my roster. Paul Skenes is the latest in awesome call-ups. Undrafted in every RCL, he […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Never jump into a slate this big without taking a macro view of the slate. There are 4 aces priced above 9k and Ronel Blanco also has a nice start at an elevated price tag. The odds are pretty good one of those guys has a nice game that you will want to own. There […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Grey and B_Don are back for another episode of the Razzball Fantasy Baseball Podcast. We start off the show by talking about the new stats that have been released and how we might use them, or not. Next up, is the much anticipated debut of Livvy Dunne’s boyfriend, Paul Skenes. What can we expect rest […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?I was told Alex Bregman would never do anything ever again. I was told by a Samoan in a grass skirt and it was right after taking peyote. Maybe I imagined that. Gosh, I’m kinda freaking myself out now. Was it a dream? I was dressed as a toilet brush saying to Bregman I would […]
