Points Leagues: Take Me Back To The Wire

June 30, 2022 | 2022 Fantasy Baseball, Fantasy Baseball Points Leagues |

by:

All Stars are fun but by this point in the season they aren’t kicking around on the wavier wire for you to scoop up.  Hopefully you managed to draft or snag a few of them earlier in the season. Back to your regularly scheduled programming. Let’s find some hidden gems.

Jon Berti – I’ll be honest, Berti wasn’t a guy I thought I’d be writing about in a points league post. Speed is his calling card, he leads the league in steals with 22, and that’s not really the stat you want to chase in points leagues.. The utility man figures to have an everyday role at second base locked down while Jazz Chisholm Jr is on the IL with a back injury. Berti has been money in June, batting .309 and swiping bases like it’s going out of style. The long and short of it is that he’s racking up points and even though the average will come down, the everyday at bats give him value.

MLB Risers And Fallers Week 12: Cleveland Rocks!

June 30, 2022 | 2022 Fantasy Baseball, Fantasy Baseball Buy/Sell, Hot and Cold Fantasy Baseball Players |

by:

As we march diligently toward the halfway point of the season, we are getting closer and closer to knowing who players are for the season. But we are also still getting surprised every day. Devin Smeltzer is a top-five pitcher over the last two weeks? Alfonso Rivas would have won fantasy managers a matchup last […]

B. Reynolds Brings Deliverance For The Pirates

June 30, 2022 | Fantasy Baseball Daily Notes, Featured | 242 Comments

by:

Bryan Reynolds came upon a boy with a banjo on the porch of a rickety-old shack. The boy with the banjo looked like a 14-year-old version of the former MLB player, Johnny Dickshot, who was nicknamed Ugly, because if they called him by his last name, they’d be arrested in the 1930’s. Since this wasn’t Johnny Dickshot, but a smaller version of him, B. Reynolds called him Tiny Dickshot, and he played this song:

Just looking into Tiny Dickshot’s one good eye was said to curse a person, and Tiny Dickshot did curse B. Reynolds but, since he played for the Pirates, which is a curse in itself, it worked as a reverse jinx, and two negatives made it a positive for Bryan Reynolds (3-for-5, 6 RBIs) as he hit his 13th, 14th and 15th homer. After getting off to a very slow start, Reynolds is on pace for having his best power and speed season. Average (.258) is still below where you want it with him, but…I feel weird…What is this…Am I…liking Bryan Reynolds? I think I am. Yikes, maybe I’ve been cursed by Tiny Dickshot. Anyway, here’s what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:

Prospect News: My First Baseman Vinnie or Deyvison Might be Giant

June 29, 2022 | Fantasy Baseball Prospects, Featured | 34 Comments

by:

Royals 1B Vinnie Pasquantino received his long-deserved promotion to the major league club this week and was promptly sent to the bench. Here’s hoping the decision was born from travel-related rest and not a sign of Matheny nonsense to come. My money’s on Vinnie P playing every day and adapting well to the challenge of learning major league arms.

Yesterday, the Nats’ GM Rizzo put his feet up on his desk, rolled up a million dollar bill and used it to lit a cigar filled with million dollar bills, saying, “And that’s why I gave Patrick Corbin $140 million eight years after his prime.” Patrick Corbin went 8 IP, 1 ER, 7 baserunners, 12 Ks, ERA at 6.06. You can think to yourself, “Damn, I should’ve streamed Patrick Corbin yesterday because the Streamonator loved it,” but I’d prefer to think, “I ain’t ever starting a pitcher with a 6+ ERA.” His last three years of ERAs are…I’d ask for a drum roll, but they deserve a sad trombone…4.66, 5.82, 6.06. If we were in Bizarro World, you’d be collecting your crown from America’s Next Top Model and Patrick Corbin would be an ace. Anyway, here’s what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:

RCL Update: The Week That Was, Week 11, 2022

June 28, 2022 | 2022 Fantasy Baseball, Our Leagues, Razzball Commenter Leagues | 12 Comments

by:

One of the best parts about covering the Razzball Commenter Leagues since the Clinton administration (sorry to get political and yes, this is exaggerating a bit) is that I have all the RCL data squirreled away in my archives.  That allows me to look for trends across seasons.  For example, the average ERA in 2016 […]

SAGNOF: Here We Trivino Again

June 28, 2022 | 2022 Fantasy Baseball, Closers, SAGNOF |

by:

What’s poppin, Razzpimples? Bullpen update time! I’m already tired of the per-division format I’ve been doing the past few weeks. Feel like it’s better to lead off with the saves daddies, move into the holds daddies, then add some final miscellaneous notes. Much more streamlined reading/writing experience if you ask me. Don’t forget, the Razzball Bullpen […]

DFS: My Cousin Vinnie Is Bringing The Jersey Shore To KC On Tuesday Night

June 28, 2022 | 2022 Fantasy Baseball, DFS, DraftKings, Fanduel |

by:

Well, we had a rough go of DFS last Tuesday, but hopefully can right the ship today. We hit on both pitchers, but the bats were in hiding. My Orioles stack produced zero runs, and Goldy ended up getting the day off. Elsewhere around baseball we have seen some prospect call-ups finally happening with Oneil […]
