Hello and welcome to the SEVENTH RazzSlam spectacular, RazzSlam 7! We are once again hosted by the folks over at NFBC. For those who are unfamiliar, in the simplest terms possible, RazzSlam is a fantasy baseball tournament that pits âPros vs Joesâ. There has been a steady mix of Pros who have won (Bob Cyphers […]

Itâs time for the annual pitcher rant! In this episode of the Razzball Fantasy Baseball Podcast, we break down Greyâs 2026 Starting Pitcher Rankings. B_Don goes on a statistical rabbit hole and talks about the ERA trends, and yes, the even-year ERA conspiracy theory lives on. Up top, Tarik Skubal and Paul Skenes lead the […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Hereâs everyoneâs favorite fantasy baseball draft tool. Yes, you’re a part of everyone. Did you ever think weâd get to the end of the 2026 fantasy baseball rankings? You did? Wow, you had more faith than me. Some time around the top 60 outfielders for 2026 fantasy baseball, I thought we were gonna have to pack […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Happy Monday, Razzball faithful! If youâre a fan of numbers, I have some good news for you. They’re real. And they’re fantastic. In the words of the famous American poet, Carlton Ridenhour⊠âHere it is. Bam! And you say, âGod Damnâ. This is the dope jam.â Maybe itâs not as dope as you expected, but […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Welcome back to the RazzTable. A place where the beer flows like wine, where beautiful fantasy minds instinctively flock like the salmon of Capistrano. Or at least minds with only moderate cognitive distortions. We’ll put those brains to mediocre use, debating curated takes from select ADP ranges. We’ll be starting at the start, since that’s […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Itâs year 16 of the RCLs! Thatâs right, if the RCLs are in the bathroom, donât knock, just give them like five minutes because theyâre checking the price guide for their Semien condition, so to speak. They grow up so fast, right? Soon, the RCLs are going to be dating, then fall for their high […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Sleepers get the headlines in draft season, but under-performers are the landmines that decide leagues. If a sleeper misses, you move on. When an early or mid-round pick underperforms, the damage lingers all summer. Busts are a less glamorous but equally important part of draft prep. For every breakout managers chase in March, thereâs a […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Interesting couple weeks in the Acuña family chat. Ronald got to dance the halftime away with Bad Bunny at the Super Bowl, which probably made him feel young again a few days before Pirates SS Konnor Griffin probably made him feel old by saying he grew up watching him. On the other end of the professional development spectrum, Luisangelâs new boss very publicly thinks heâs somebody heâs not. White Sox Senior Vice President and General Manager Chris Getz couldnât stop referring to the younger brother as a switch-hitter when discussing the Luis Robert trade during media hits. Rumors suggest he thought he was trading for Ronny Maurcio and got crossed up in the process. Gotta be just rumors, right? Thatâs way too big a mistake to make with that job title. Although, alternatively, thatâs exactly the kind of job title you might have if you find yourself getting away with such a mistake. And Mauricio would make a lot more sense to me as a trade target for a team in Chicagoâs spot. Hard to see how Getz couldâve handled the whole Luis Robert Jr. saga any worse.Â
Please, blog, may I have some more?If the art of archery isnât actually about the components of the task, then Iâll assume for the sake of argument that the âartâ of fantasy baseball is also not about the components. That, of course, doesnât mean that player analysis isnât important, or draft strategy, or understanding underlying data, or trying to spot ADP values. All of those things are, at least in my eyes, essential for success in this game. But I also am aware that I overthink my analysis, strategy, the underlying data, and especially what I perceive as ADP values.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Regression is such an ugly word. Why can players not just be elite forever after a breakout? Thanks to innovations in math and physics, we have heaps of analytics at our fingertips to judge whether a player’s recent performance is sustainable or not. Expected Stats like xwOBA, xAVG, xSLG, and xwoBACON (mmmm, BACON) are readily […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Before we get down to business, it’s almost RCL time! We’re already gearing up for another season of my $100 entry Laura Holt Challenge League, and it looks like we’ll have at least one opening. I know last year a few of you wanted in, but we didn’t have room for everyone, so if you’re […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Grey and B_Don are back to discuss the back end of Greyâs outfield rankings for 2026. Starting at 40 and going through the 90s. There are players that we like at their draft cost, and others not so much. Thereâs still upside out there along with the consistent value guys that go underrated and unnoticed […]
