Oh, baby, baby! A very good day to all of you Razzball enthusiasts! I hope everyone is ready for another installment of SAGNOF Wednesday with your favorite Dad. For today’s lede, I wanted to check back in on one of our steals targets from early in the season, Ji-Hwan Bae. We’re almost two months to […]

Reds’ manager, David Bell, who is commonly known as Dumb Bell, not because he’s the dumbest motherf*cker to ever manage a baseball team — Phil Nevin is dumber than him — he’s known as Dumb Bell, because he’s the 2nd dumbest MLB manager. (It’s a 29-way tie for 2nd.) Imagine having five top 100 prospects, all under the age of 27, and thinking, “How do I get Kevin Newman into the lineup?” This perplexed Dumb Bell for countless hours. He took a trek to visit a Buddha statue in downtown Cincy (it’s outside Buddha’s Mongolian BBQ) to ask the Buddha what he thought he should do, and the Buddha said, “Look deep within for the knowledge you possess,” so Dumb Bell dropped his pants, bent over backwards in front of a mirror and tried to find that knowledge deep within himself. Sadly, the only knowledge he now possesses is he needs to wipe better. So, Dumb’s got a new piece to play with as Elly De La Cruz was called up. Just gave you an Elly De la Cruz fantasy. Yes, he’s a pickup in every league. Oh, and “yes” reminds me of something: Where the Helly is CES? Anyway, here’s what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Please, blog, may I have some more?Back into my ongoing series on sliders, we take a look at another adjustment that’s becoming a pattern around the league. Baseball is a game of adjustments. You’ve probably heard that said a thousand times. What does that mean? The cat-and-mouse game between batter and pitcher is constantly shifting as each seeks to find a […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?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?Welcome to June Razzball DFS fans. We continue to struggle with our high-priced bats coming up empty in DFS. Hoping to get that trend turned around as we flip the calendar and get ready for the official start of summer in a few week’s time. Looking for a big Tuesday on a nice looking Tuesday […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?So, you thought that Razzball didn’t have any ties to the rap game. You’d be wrong, well, kind of. Not really at all, but kind of. But somebody told the Rangers to Bring da Ruckus to Bryan Woo in his first major league start. Despite this, is Grey interested in pitching Ric Flair, WOO. We […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Ah…you smell that? That’s the inevitable runs that Aaron Nola (7 IP, 0 ER, 1 hit, 3 walks, ERA at 4.30. ) gives up every game, but as unearned. Smells so nice. Can we bottle that? Wait, I have something else for you to smell. No, not that! Don’t pull Eduardo Rodriguez’s finger! I’m talking about this…*takes a long, deep inhale* “Did you put rose petals on top of doggie doo?” Ah, yes! Trea Turner‘s game yesterday (4-for-5, 3 runs, 3 RBIs) on top of his season-long “Everyone, check your sneakers because someone dragged in an odor, and it wasn’t Rougned.” With that odor lingering, it’s a bad time to shut the Buy Low Window, too. June’s Kyle Schwarber’s month, but Treat Urner is the type to go from zero to 100 in the matter of one game. As we saw in the WBC, he can hit 12 homers in two weeks, and get his average up fifty points in the snap of a middle and thumb. Anyway, here’s what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Please, blog, may I have some more?We’re nearing the 40% mark of the season, which means our favorite pitchers are fully loose and getting all sorts of problems with their shoulders and [reads notes] A4 pulleys. OK! Everyday, we learn something new. Today, I’m going to teach you the following: the Electric Slide, the G.O.A.T. recipe for yakisoba, and also, what an A4 flexor pulley tendon is. I’m not even sure I wrote that last part correctly, but I’ll trust the editors to fix it up.*
*Editor’s Note: Budget cuts have led to our dispossession of a copy of Grey’s Anatomy, both the book and the first season on DVD. Without McDreamy, we have no compass to guide our knowledge.
Please, blog, may I have some more?We are into June now and baseball and the Razzball Commenter Leagues are in full swing. Players seem to be finding their groove and so are fantasy managers. This is also the time of year when I like to take a look at which RCL teams are killing us in win-rate and which teams have […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?The future is now in Cincinnati. Entering play Sunday, the Reds are 6 games out of the NL Central lead. They’ve called up top pitching prospect Andrew Abbott as Hunter Greene deals with some hip stiffness. Big bat Christian Encarnacion-Strand awaits an MLB call-up. The Reds are enjoying a hot start from shortstop Matt McLain, […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?The Reds are calling up their sensational left-hander, Andrew Abbott, and I’m going to have a tough time not playing him tonight. Abbott is the minor league strikeout leader. He faces MLB’s worst offense against lefties in the Brewers. Somehow he’s just $4,000 on DraftKings. Now that we’ve ticked the first box, let’s see where […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Yesterday, the Dodgers called up Jonny DeLuca. He’s been tearing up Triple-A, which is pretty impressive for a studio enforcer who’s having an affair with Lana Turner. Jonny DeLuca’s got all the photogs on call, and, yeah, see, he’s got pics of your favorite movie stars in ways you don’t wanna see them, see. He’s also got solid power and speed, and had a 15% strikeout rate in Triple-A, so the contact is there too. Think he might be more of an NL-Only or deeper mixed league guy for now, but worth monocling. Unless you wanna see your dame splashed all over Look! magazine. Also, the Cards are calling up Luken Baker, but, if you’ve seen him, he looks exactly like Adam Dunn. In the minors, he even wore his number.
