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 […]

I would give myself a 60 grade on parenting. Solid, all star level father. Lots of strengths and only one 20 grade. That would be building toys. Legos, especially, are the bane of my existence. I hate them. I always have. When my brilliant daughter wanted to do a building competition, I could only build […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Here we go. MLB season officially is under way as we get into Day 6 of action. I’m back this year with my Tuesday DFS Predictions and Plans. I may fill in another day here and there as we are still looking for some help putting together a full writing staff in the world of […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?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 […]

There’s no direct evidence that the more handsome a pitcher the more he’s going to screw you over — that we know of. We just haven’t studied it yet! Someone take a ruler and measure the distance between the eyes on Michael Kopech (4 2/3 IP, 7 ER). Now measure the inches on his curve break. Do they match? The golden ratio that is his cheekbones, is that equal to his current 13.50 ERA? This is not eugenics, because we’re doing it for fantasy baseball purposes and not fantasy exterminations. Wonder if Kopech was tipping his pitches, because, while I don’t have a ton of faith in him, that was even bad for the pretty boy. First up, Joc Pederson (1-for-3) hit his 2nd homer. Buckle up! Joc is the type to hit 24 homers in five games, then nothing for three months. Then Mike Yastrzemski (2-for-3, 3 runs, 2 RBIs) hit his 1st homer. Carl’s Jr. Jr. said make the 1st one animal style! Next up, Michael Conforto (2-for-6) hit his 1st homer. More incredibly, Conforto still hasn’t injured himself. Then Thairo Estrada (2-for-4, 2 runs and a slam (1) and legs (2). That’s Thairo Estrada sleeper to you. Hopefully, he’s fine, because he left the game after taking a foul off his leg. Finally, David Villar (2-for-4, 5 RBIs) hit his 1st and 2nd homer, and this sucks. I really need Casey Schmitt to replace this schmohawk. C’mon, Villar ill will, do your job! Anyway, here’s what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Please, blog, may I have some more?Welcome folx and family! We awake into a brilliant new year of MLB baseball where theft is common, the per-hour wages have increased nearly 10%, and random young minds are usurping the services of the veterans. It’s complete anarchy! And who better to guide you through the mean streets of MLB than your one and only host, EverywhereBlair. I’ve been doing this pitcher thing at Razzball for over three years now. I understand that you have a choice in which anonymous internet face you go to for fantasy baseball advice, and I’m proud to be your anonymous face. Whether you’re joining for the first time or have been there since my first Jake Odorizzi sleeper that had two subtitles, I’m happy to have you along.
Please, blog, may I have some more?It’s been a long offseason but we’ve made it to Opening Day and beyond! Although Spring Training stats are usually to be taken with a grain of salt, I’d figure I’d mention some middle infielders who have had a great spring training and highlight some other noteworthy items as they pertain to middle infielders from […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Hey Razzballers, I’m rosineater, and I’ll be handling the Monday DFS duties this season. I’m a longtime DFS player and a student of the game, so along with your DFS picks I’ll be sharing some theory and strategy along the way. Today’s focus will be on the 11-game DraftKings slate that starts at 7:05 ET. […]

What’s up, Razzball Nation? Welcome back to Overreaction Time with Grey Albright! Did you see Trayce Thompson and C.J. Cron led the league in homers? Wow, they’re better than Babe Ruth and Aaron Judge combined. Call them Abe Juth! Does it matter that C.J. Cron led the league in homers last April, hit 13 homers through May and didn’t hit as many homers the next three months? No! It doesn’t! Cool! Also, Aaron Civale threw a gem? So, he’s better than Corbin Burnes! Jorge Mateo’s going to steal 70 bases this year? Of course he is! Actually, that’s not sarcasm, he just might. Rob Manfred has remade MLB in his likeness: Someone who steals things and puts other people on the clock. Do your own job, Manfred, and stop stealing from the poor, defenseless, weak-armed catchers!
One guy who I’m not overreacting about when I say he’s an ace is Jeffrey Springs (6 IP, 0 ER, zero hits, 1 walk, 12 Ks). I wrote a Jeffrey Springs sleeper this preseason. I begged people to draft him. Did you? Or did you pretend you were too cool? Or did you draft him but play coy like I wasn’t the reason? I rank those people “Did you,” “Too cool,” “Drafted but played coy.” Those third people are the real issue, like Springs is gonna be for MLB hitters this year. Anyway, here’s what else I saw this weekend in fantasy baseball:
Please, blog, may I have some more?Hey hey hey, barflys! Welcome back to the Two-Start Dive Bar, all fresh and ready, and given just a cursory once-over of “cleaning” (after all, this is a dive; the carpet still sticks to your shoes and the place smells like stale National Bohemian). It’s time for the first full week of MLB action in […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?If you are a reader here at Razzball, you are likely in a number of leagues ranging from season-long to best ball or dynasty. In the name of the game, we must be thinking about the value of diversification. For the investment mindset of a fantasy owner, owning a wide range of players can lower your risk by weathering the ups and downs of the season. That said, even the smartest fantasy writers do not always follow the principles of diversifying their portfolio. With that premise, every draft season I find myself over indexed to certain players. This week, our hitter profiles break down guys that sit on too many of my rosters and why I kept investing.
Please, blog, may I have some more?I can’t tell you how excited I am to be back! This is my first article of the season, and we’re back at it with the streamers! If you’re familiar with my Ride the Wave piece from the past, then you’re in for a treat. We’ll be doing the same thing as last year but […]
