Sliding in to take the reins for this week’s Friday roundup, which is simultaneously a little daunting and rather refreshing as the bullpen writer in this neck of the woods. Anyone […]

If you have read my weekly DFS column, you know I am a diehard Mariners fan. Sometimes saying that out loud tastes like bile, but not this year. We did just enough in free agency to move the needle. The best of the off-season moves was enticing the reigning AL CY award winner to come […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Welcome to your weekly edition of your Razzball fantasy baseball injury report, friends. There is only about one month of regular season baseball left, and quite frankly, this is no time for shenanigans if you want to move up the ranks in your leagues. You know who does have time for shenanigans? Aroldis Chapman who […]

“The best part of any candy bar is the stuff inside the chocolate, so I want a candy bar where the nougat, cookie wafer, crushed peanuts are on the outside of the chocolate. Mouth feel matters too, so the crunchy bits on the outside need to have a soft, chewy texture. Swiss and dutch chocolate are for losers. This candy bar needs to made in The Lou, so I want Missouri chocolate. What is Missouri chocolate? Whatever Willie McGee likes. Willie, please wave.” Willie McGee waves from the back corner of the conference room. We see now Lars Nootbaar holds court in front of the Lars Caandy people. He continues, “Also, I want it to be written “caandy baar” on all the bars. Two A’s, so we need to change all signage around this 5-mile-wide candy empire, that I’ve cordoned off with traffic cones. If you want to work for Kit Kat, get out now! The door’s over there! The only Snickers I want to hear about are chuckles at the water cooler when Willie McGee makes a joke! Do you understand me?” Lars is now screaming into one exec’s face, who is beginning to cry. “Wipe those tears from your face, and go make me a candy bar! Two A’s!” Lars Nootbaar isn’t just a demanding candy CEO, building a nougaty empire, he’s also been one of the hottest bat in the majors for the last month. On the 30-day Player Rater, he’s in the top 40 overall, and he’s now leading off on most days vs. righties. Since the Cards are famous for creating players, it’s only appropriate that they went into a 7/11’s candy aisle and got an idea. This hot Nootbaar won’t melt in your hand, or your fantasy team, so grab him, before he quits baseball to be a full-time candy CEO, like Willy Wonka, who was originally drafted to be a closer, until he discovered he was better stopping Gobs. Anyway, here’s some more players to Buy or Sell this week in fantasy baseball:

Well, it’s hard to believe, but both my real-life calendar and my baseball calendar tell me that we’ve reached September. End of season call-ups aren’t what they once were, but that doesn’t mean there might not be a player or two floating around the waiver wire that’s worth watching for what’s left of the season, […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?We have gotten here, everyone! That is, assuming you are in the playoffs of your H2H league. If you are reading this and didn’t make the Playoffs, you are my hero for still checking out this article. For 20+ weeks, we have talked about strategy weekly, and nothing has changed since the playoffs are here. If you have a stud, you should start them. While there could be a case for a marginals stud in Atlanta who only has 5 games, don’t overthink it! You are not sitting Acuna or Reilly, no matter what. What we should be doing is looking at the week-by-week rotations and trying to get the most ABs possible. This may be common knowledge, but there are a few additional “tricks of the trade” that could help you…
If you have a BYE, start looking ahead to next week’s matchups while your opponents are hyper-focused on this week. For instance, the Reds have 9 games. CLE, MIA, PITT, and TB all have 8 games.
Check the IL reports and see if anyone is coming off early.
Look at your potential opponents’ strengths or weaknesses (categorical H2H), and make sure to take advantage
See if you can forecast the upcoming 2-start pitchers. The early bird gets the worm.

There are few things less terrifying than a close encounter with a bear in the wild. The National Park Service (NPS) says that if you do, there are a few tips to follow: Stand your ground, and slowly wave your arms–Seems like that may stir the bear up, but I’ve watched the Detroit Tigers slowly […]

Not since Rollie Fingers’s mustache left his face in the middle of the night in July, 1979, and impregnated my mother, during one of her weaker moments, after being told her ravioli wasn’t as good as her mother’s, has a mustache had such a remarkable evening. Yes, I’m saying that to you today. The mustache that impregnated my mother that usually laid on the upper lip of Rollie Fingers was not as great as Spencer Strider‘s. Do you know how hard it is for me to admit this? Spencer Strider (8 IP, 0 ER, 2 hits, zero walks, 16 Ks, ERA at 2.67. ) is having such a ridiculous season his ERA is 2.67; his xFIP is 2.33. That’s right, he’s been unlucky! Spencer Strider came into the year with a 45-grade from Fangraphs. Itch ranked Strider behind Langeliers and Cristian Pache in the Braves’ system. This is not to disparage either. This is to say, no one saw this coming. For 2023 fantasy, Spencer Strider can’t get better, can he? I just told you, he’s been unlucky! His command could get better; his strikeouts are prolly maxed out. I don’t see Strider getting better, maybe staying similar for 2023 fantasy. That’s still really good! I wouldn’t be shocked to see Spencer Strider as my 1st pitcher selected in some leagues in 2023 fantasy. Anyway, here’s what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:

We’ve now reached September, welcome. You made it. All the roster rules are out the window now (not really) and many teams are calling the youth forward to get a taste. This is the home stretch for all who are in the hunt and officially crossed over to the “What have you done for me […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?There have been three Jake the Snakes that I can recall. There was Jake “The Snake” Roberts who starred in the WWE, letting his python terrorize and constrict his opponents, sometimes before but usually after DDT’ing them into submission. Jake “The Snake” Plummer excelled in football at the Arizona State University, leading them to a one-loss season and fourth overall ranking in 1996. He did play in the NFL for 10 seasons, albeit a middling career with 161 touchdowns and 161 interceptions. I respect the symmetry. The sequel is rarely better than the original iteration. Now we have Jake “The Snake” McCarthy of the Arizona Diamondbacks. Has anyone called him “The Snake” but me? Niet, but this is the power that I wield from my mom’s basement. He doesn’t have the ferocious power of Roberts’ DDT and never got as many panties wet as Plummer did at ASU, but McCarthy has been doing his thing and been a viable edition to “The Snake” triology. Let’s dig in if he is truly worthy of it.

Lets get that championship. We’re really getting into crunch time now and fortunately there are still some untapped gems who can help you close out the season on a high note. With expanded rosters for MLB teams we’ll get to see some of the games next studs experience their first taste of big league action. Gunnar Henderson finally got the call and has the potential to make an immediate splash, which he showed off by going yard for his first major league hit. There’s no good reason for the Orioles to call him up as a bench player so expect to see him in the lineup often. Not only do you want that, you need that.

On a dark desert highway. The Arizona Diamondbacks may not have much to play for this season, but I think we can all agree they have some exciting players. Their most recent addition, Corbin Carroll is fun to watch and is already impressing at the big league level. Tonight, Merrill Kelly looks to shut down […]
