Will Grey’s fingers stick to a baseball? What about a lucky cat? What happens when Grey tries to smush me on his screen with his fingers? All valid questions in the Max Scherzer rosin gate. Now that’s what I call a sticky situation. Grey and B_Don move on to discuss the injury to Scherzer’s teammate, […]

Spencer Strider is the best starter, right? I’m asking, because his mustache clouds my judgment. I know Everywhere Blair has Spencer Strider ranked number one in his top 100 starters, but Blair might get clouded by the mustache too. His mustache is very beautiful. More beautiful than mine? Who is to say? Yes! Fine, I am saying it. It is more beautiful than mine. I feel like it’s Rollie Fingers, Spencer Strider then Me. That’s it. That’s my mustache rankings. I’m not even number one for my own mustache rankings! I am pitiful! My best pitchers in baseball rankings likely start at Spencer Strider too. Yesterday, he went 8 IP, 0 ER, 2 hits, zero walks, 13 Ks, ERA at 1.80. His ERA might be a little bit higher than Gerrit Cole’s. Strider is basically Jacob deGrom but without seven straight years of being unable to throw more than 75 IP. Strider is Ohtani, but without the 35-homer bat. Okay, that’s pretty good for Ohtani. I’m on the Struggle Bus going choo-choo like I’m on a train, because Strider’s mustache has me so mesmerized, trying to come up with a legit top five starters based on stuff alone. Eff it! Top 5 of the top of my head based on stuff and nothing else: Strider, deGrom, Ohtani, Greene, and Strider’s Mustache. Strider ranks twice in five starters! Anyway, here’s what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:

With all the accuracy of genetically modified water, my rankings are here in full form! Imagine it like an early Cinco de Mayo present. Or if you don’t observe Cinco de Mayo, then at least it’s a May the Fourth (be with you) surprise. Like Rey finding Luke’s lightsaber, I hope that you find hope and light by knowing the hierarchical ordering of pitchers for your imaginary sports team. Now, concentrate really hard, and will your team to first place!
Please, blog, may I have some more?Look man, when it comes to puns, you gotta work with what you got. And I got a measurement. Sure, if I spent more time on this, I probably would have come up with something better (allegedly) but at least since gas prices are on the rise, it’s at least trending with current events. SEO synergy baby. And nothing screams trending analytics like jumping on a player that just stuck out 11 without walking a batter in seven scoreless innings. With just two hits allowed, Gallen put up a dominating performance against the Padres, culminating in a very hot start to the season with not allowing a run in his last 20.2 innings pitched. If that wasn’t dominating enough, he currently holds a 0.80 WHIP, good for fifth in the league, and is sitting at 39 strikeouts, overall leader in the MLB. I believe that Zac Gallen has been flirting the fine line between pretty good to pretty great, but already adding to an amazing 2022 campaign, are we ready to shed the pretense and just call him great? Royal “we” I guess…

As we approach the end of April, we’ve played about a month of games and we’ve seen the typical hot and cold starts out of the gate. Some breakouts are expected but as always, accompanied by some unexpected quick starts from surprising places. Here we go: Luis Arraez – Marlins: Leading MLB in batting […]

You thought every team having a Luis Garcia was confusing? You rued the day you ever learned there was a Trevor Megill and a Tylor Megill? You thought they were joking when they said there was another Max Muncy? You’re in a Holds league and get the shakes every time you see T. Rogers? You still have a headache from the time you drafted Ryan Braun, the reliever? Well, do I have a surprise for you! For a limited time only, we have two Logan Allens! It could be worse, they were both on the Guardians! Now, there’s one on the Rockies and one on the Guardians. That makes things easier because you’d never want a pitcher on the Rockies, so you only have to look at the team name and remember, “No Rockies pitchers ever.” So, why do we care? Well, outside of AL-Only leagues, we may not. Logan Allen (6 IP, 1 ER, 6 baserunners, 8 Ks) has a starting job right now, but Triston McKenzie and Aaron Civale could return at some point (in theory), and Hunter Gaddis is stretched out and might get another look. Since the “why do we care” became “why should we not care,” here’s an answer to the caring part: He consistently has a 11+ K/9 in the minors. Itch’s said, “A great athlete with plus balance and command who repeats his delivery with ease, Allen fits the Cleveland mold for pitchers who exceed their on-paper projections. He’s not an ideal candidate to add velocity at 6’0” 190 lbs, but Cleveland tends to find a way, not that Allen has needed more than his low-90’s fastball, plus changeup and average curveball to this point, and I’d like to stick Grey with a sharp point.” C’mon, man! Itch’s “Cleveland tends to find a way” is why I’m interested in deeper mixed leagues. Anyway, here’s what else I saw this weekend in fantasy baseball:

I’ve been an Oakland A’s fan since 1985. My family had season tickets from the time I was in kindergarten until about the time I was in high school, in the mid-90s, which happened to coincide with a significant downturn in the team’s fortunes compared to their dizzying heights of the late ’80s. But I […]

Can we please stop breaking things already? I mean, we should have all expected that Giancarlo Stanton was going to get injured at some point. But did we need to see Garrett Mitchell out for the season or Will Smith continue to miss time with a concussion? No, we did not! Add in a banged-up Tim Anderson, Corey Seager and Ramon Laureano and there is more pain than gain for the last week. For next week’s article, maybe we will need to run the correlation coefficient between game time and injury frequency so we can blame Manfred for all this chaos! However, until then we are at that time to publish another edition of the Top 100 Hitters for the rest of the 2023 fantasy baseball season.
Please, blog, may I have some more?After a tough opening week, we’ve bounced back the last two weeks. The only frustrating part of last week’s article is that two of our streamers got injured! That’s something you can never predict, and it’s annoying because both guys were well on their way to some good starts. We also got a good week […]

Mets SS Ronny Mauricio started at second base Friday night in Triple-A. He’ll have to find somewhere other than Francisco Lindor’s position if he wants to start in New York. He went 0-for-3 with three strikeouts, dropping his slash line to .343/.395/.729 on the season heading into Saturday’s games. If New York can head into the off-season with major league regulars in Brett Baty, Francisco Alvarez and Mauricio, they’ll have some extra cash to flash in the Shohei Ohtani sweepstakes.

Now that the fantasy baseball season is a few weeks in, the shelves of the “store” are starting to get a little thin, just like those first few weeks after COVID lockdown in 2020. You’ve totally abandoned hope on buying toilet paper or your favorite mac ‘n’ cheese. Hell, even the weird discount pastas that […]
