Happy Friday, DFSers! Tonight is round two of DFS Wars, a contest with a bunch of fellow DFS degens, hosted by Heath Capps, on DraftKings, where we battle it out for a little cash, many bragging rights, and raise some money for charity. Razzball’s very own, Juice, took down our first contest with yours truly […]

Bro…bro…bro…I’m not saying bro…Bro…bro…bro…I’m trying to say broke! I’m emotional devastated that Lucas Giolito (3 IP, 7 ER, ERA at 5.34) is so broke. Does Lucas Giolito look at a pile of garbage and think he’s looking in a mirror? I’ll be honest with you, I’ve seen piles of trash that have more redeeming qualities. Get a good pile of recyclables and maybe they can turn into something worthwhile. A Coke can might have another life as a bulk 10,000 count thing of paper clips. Lucas Giolito has no future as a paper clip. Was looking at Lucas Giolito’s stats for 2023 fantasy, and he seems like he should be much better, but also there’s a point where, “Is the juice worth the squeeze?” Speaking of juice, the God of Minute Maid, Alex Bregman went 4-for-6, 4 runs, 6 RBIs and a double slam (17, 18) and legs (1). Something that was mentioned on the Mets game the other night, that I haven’t mentioned nearly enough. Big power hitters who can hit 40 homers weren’t that affected this year (they were talking about Pete Alonso). Players who hit wall-scrappers? They were absolutely affected, and, unless the ball is altered, we’re never seeing a 30+ homer year from Bregman again. Looking at his 41-homer year now in 2019 stands out like Waldo in a Where’s Waldo cartoon, when being looked at by Waldo’s mom. A mother knows. Anyway, here’s what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Please, blog, may I have some more?Clink. Clink. Clink. The sound was mesmerizing as the blacksmith expertly smushed his hammer down onto the glowing piece layed before him. Clink. Clink. Clink. It’s an arduous process to turn a raw piece of steel into a weapon of extraordinary magnitude. Heat it up so that it becomes malleable, dump it in water to strengthen it, then repeat the process until a sword emerges, blings, mesmerizes, then slices and dices as it’s intended to do. Unfortunately, the proliferation of weapons powered by gunpowder made swords obsolete, but swords could still have utility in the right situation. At the end of the day, in close quarters, they can still slice and dice. Justin Steele of the Chicago Cubs has taken time to be forged, and doesn’t have the explosive nature of some of his contemporaries. That said, he has been useful and could be employed in the right situation. Let’s dig in to see how potent this Steele truly is.

Let me tell you all how the rest of this season will go. I will not tweet this out, because that’s giving free content to my nineties of followers. Instead, I will give this information out for free on this website, although if you’re smart you are paying to kill the myriad advertisements that helps fund Grey’s continued head-specific cryogenesis. You didn’t know that we refresh his profile picture every day with a new photo of his head frozen in a solid block of ice, hoping one day to release it after Manfred has finally destroyed the baseball? You didn’t know that? Or that like that prisoner Languille after his guillotining, according to Dr. Beaurieux, Grey responded to his name, turned to look at us before the freezing agent kicked in, and said, “Fantasy baseball blog?” He has not stopped posting since, using pupil movements to write his posts, much like the protagonist of Feel Good Movie of the Century The Diving Bell and the Butterfly. There I go again, showing you how the sausage is made, how gauche. How will the season of fantasy baseball content wind itself down?
Please, blog, may I have some more?Last week I told you the story about a couple of pitchers that went goo-goo for the slider; here. They decided to trust in their best pitch and turned anger into lust. This was the topic of some discussion in Razzland this week, about how there’s a philosophical shift in the last couple of years […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?One of the most popular pickups in fantasy leagues this past week was Atlanta middle infielder Vaughn Grissom. The 21-year old Grissom started off his Braves career with nine hits in his first 21 ABs, including a pair of homers and a pair of doubles while scoring eight runs. Grissom wasn’t of the Blake-Snell-Hates-You mold […]

Congratulations readers, if you’re still here and not thinking about football season starting up soon, I can only assume that means you’re still in the running for a fantasy baseball championship. By this point in the season most of the hot waiver names have long since been scooped up so we have to dig a little deeper. Time to turn over a few rocks, shake a few trees, and see who we can find to help you for the season’s home stretch.

It is Thursday, August 18th and there is a five-game Main Slate on FanDuel at 7:05 pm Eastern Time. Jacob deGrom ($12,000) is on the mound, which makes him my favorite play of the day, even being opposite of Max Fried and the Atlanta Braves. If you are going to spend big on a pitcher, […]

I know it’s stone fruit season, but check out the plums on the Diamondbacks! They called up Stone Garrett (2-for-3). Mean’s while, Corbin Carroll remains a stone’s throw away. What’s that all about? This guy may be Stone, but it’s still Rock and Carroll to me! Garrett’s numbers are goofy, and goofy is good. 28/15/.278 in 385 ABs should definitely get the berries tingling. Here’s what Prospect Itch has said, “(Diamondbacks’) AAA numbers are always inflated, but Garrett’s plus power and .375/.430/.764 slash line look good enough to mix in with that lineup, at least. Garrett’s a guy with big raw power, who gains a little value in an environment where it’s harder to clear the fence. He’s looking at near-term playing time and has enough speed to help us in roto leagues if he gets the time. If only I had time to beat up Grey.” Dude, cmon! In an NL-Only league, I’m absolutely interested. In mixed leagues, I’m kinda wait-and-see for now, but that could change very quickly. Anyway, here’s what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Please, blog, may I have some more?If you came here looking for the next 25 players in the Top 100, I hope you won’t feel misled. I’m planning for that to be a monster Sunday post with all 100 write-ups in the same place.
There’s so many balls in play right now around the game that taking two weeks to snapshot-rank the top 100 leaves some stones unturned in the interim.
Dodgers OF Josue De Paula (17, DSL) and Cubs SS Pedro Ramirez (18, CPX) might sneak into the next set, or maybe I’d build a just-missed article around them, but I’d rather name them here than feel pressure to squeeze them in because the pick-up clock ticks quickly on big-time talents. Same goes for Red Sox OF Miguel Bleis (18, CPX). Might be late already in some of your leagues. Can’t let it get any later.
I have 37 names in my forever-growing, haven’t-featured-yet list, aka my writing/researching/following queue. It’s the place I store every player I come across that could or should be discussed here, so it’s always kinda crowded in there. That’s why the beat works, I think, when it’s really humming. I’m not just opening a blank screen when it’s Go time. I’m collecting and following and selecting pop-up names every waking hour of the day. (I hope that’s an exaggeration but can’t verify). How many men is too many to be thinking about on a daily basis? It’s not for me to say, but it is time to clear the top of the list.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Hey There! Welcome back and hope everyone is having a great week. School is back in session for a lot of kids and football is starting up soon so the fall season will be upon us before we know it. This is a great time to make those under-the-radar pickups since half of the league […]

Happy Wednesday, Razz-fam! I hope you all had a great start to the week and that your DFS lineups have been full of happiness (and Pasquantinos)! Today’s SPs are similar to the last few Wednesdays. A couple of chalk plays, some mid-level arms that could produce some good results, and a minefield of chaos with […]
