One week of baseball is in the scorebooks. Stolen bases are up, BABIP is up, and the pitch clock (outside of a few curmudgeons) is already being hailed as a success. Hopefully, your DFS Picks have been cooking. Today’s big DFS slate on DraftKings has been slowly shrinking from eight to four games as they […]

In 2021, Jesus Luzardo (7 IP, 1 ER, 6 baserunners, 10 Ks, ERA at 0.71) was traded for two months of Starling Marte. This is great, by the way:
Hmm, is it tough to judge? I don’t know, guys. I think that might be one of the easiest trades ever to judge. Especially in 2022. Is Starling Marte still on your Oakland Athletics? Did he help you win a World Series? Is Jesus Luzardo now an ace? Is he no longer on your team? Trying to figure out how hard it is to judge. I guess if you’re no longer paying attention to baseball and just judging Luzardo on what he did for those two months when Marte was on your team, then, maybe, I don’t know, interjection, but I tend to think it was pretty easy to judge then, as well. So, Jesus Luzardo was — you guessed it! — Jesus Luzardo sleeper and he should be on everyone’s team, so you’re welcome! Anyway, here’s what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:

Orioles RHP Grayson Rodriguez was the number one name on this list, but he’s in the majors today with Kyle Bradish on the injured list. Rodriguez didn’t have much success this spring but still feels like a solid bet to hit the ground running.
1. Mets 3B Brett Baty
With some other guys on this list, we can build a semi-reasonable case for keeping them in the minors. Until he left Monday’s game with a sore thumb, this was not the case for Baty, who played well in spring and already has a two-homer game in Triple-A this year. Eduardo Escobar is a veteran making a lot of money. That’s the entire case against Baty. It’s so odd that they’d spend so much on the team and then lose runs and development time because of a sunk-cost fallacy.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Intro Greetings Razzers, back at it for another season of Top 100 Outfielders. As I started last season, I have calculated the rest-of-season outfield ranks into TIERS. Everybody loves tiers. Tiers are like onions, and onions have layers. Tiers and layers, onions and parfaits. However, these aren’t just your everyday run-of-the-mill tiers, No sir (/ma’am). […]

Happy Wednesday, Razzball gang! Baseball is officially BACK! I know we’re less than a week into the 2023 season, but that doesn’t mean that we can’t look at some super early small sample data to get our stolen base engines going. With the implementation of the pitch clock, and the push for the game to […]

Yeah, I like Oasis too, all their two songs and the bowl cuts with sunglasses, they just smell like the late 90’s… and you know, the above title may liken Wander Franco to a whale. Still, it just fits literally, as the old idiom goes; to a location far […]

Will the Orioles’ front office answer the question why on earth they sent Grayson Rodriguez to the minors for five games? Because that’s got to be one of the biggest boneheaded decisions of the year so far. You can say, “Grayson Rodriguez needed more seasoning.” Okay, maybe, but five games? So, that reason is off the table. Seasoning reasoning? No go! You can say it’s because their staff had an opening after injuries, but you’re just carrying water for idiots. That doesn’t make any sense. They could’ve just went to a 6-man rotation and had him in the rotation. What was five games for? Why did you stress me out by sending him down to the minors for five games? Answer me! Are the O’s really that spiteful towards me? You can say they sent him down because Grayson Rodriguez forgot pants. That’s about the only believable reason. So, we back, baby! I love Grayson Rodriguez and he’s an automatic top 40 starter while he’s on the mound. Will there be some tough outings? Yeah, I suppose, but that could be for anyone. Hello, Andrew Heaney! Grayson Rodriguez is absolutely the real deal. Here’s my Grayson Rodriguez fantasy for more. On a side note, you know you’ve been doing this shizz for a long time when you have people telling you info before it happens. This story came to me first because the Grayson Rodriguez story was broken by our former pod/prospect man, Geoff. Crazy times!
Will the haters come to my door and yell their apologies at my face or will they be too embarassed? https://t.co/MIl30xZ90o

What’s poppin, Razzpimples? Bullpen update time! Yay, preseason content is over, so I can jump directly into recapping the last week-ish of action and provide y’all with some stellar, unparalleled analysis. It was a pretty bonkers week for bullpen dudes, with some surprising saves, disappointing outings, and lots and lots of holds to go around. […]

Welcome my good and decent Razzball Commenter League managers. How were your first four days of fun? Oh, you drafted a top starter who got absolutely shelled? Well, Grey warned you! I kid, I kid, it’s one start, you’ll be fine. In the meantime, pony up to the stream-o-nator and grab a streamer to balance […]

Grey and B_Don are back to discuss the first weekend of 2023. We start the pod with the biggest changes, the new rules and how it has affected our game. Players are running and we’ve seen more than double the stolen bases over the first weekend of play from last year. After B_Don gets done […]
