One of the most glorious things about MLB is when a GM will say something like, “(Player’s name) wasn’t quite ready yet to be promoted, and we didn’t want to be aggressive with him, and have him suffer a setback in his development. The organization believes he’s getting close to a promotion now, and he […]

Weekly Razzball news delivered straight to your inbox.
Weekly greetings, deep league friends. I hope everyone is staying cool and still has both a real life and a fantasy baseball team in the playoff hunt, as the last month or so of summer glides on by. I’m sure some free agent pools are picked more clean than others, but hopefully, there’s still the […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?With six weeks left in the regular season, it’s time to face the truth: a lot of people are kind of over this. We’re entering the dog days of the summer, and most fantasy managers at this point know where they stand, in or out, title contention or playing for next draft season. At this […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Rays are calling up Bob Seymour. Or Bobby Seymour, if you will. You likely will because Bob is one of those rare names that’s better casual. John or Johnny? I’m going to the John. Frank or Frankie? I gotta be Frank. Bob or Bobby? Bob on these–Sorry, I’m going Bobby. If you’re going by Bob, […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?When players spend the first couple of months of the season falling well short of our expectations, fantasy players are often guilty of just refusing to consider those guys at all for the rest of the season. While it’s understandable to want to refuse to roster any player who really hurt you early, that kind of emotional dismissal might cause us to miss out on good rebounds in the second half that we can get some value from. The three players I’ll discuss today all started slowly for various reasons, and I saw lots of social media buzz about dropping these guys and never looking back. But we might want to take a second look to see if there is still value to be had.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Major League Baseball has now played about 19 of 26 weeks this season, which means we have a large statistical basis, but not a whole season, to evaluate players for our fantasy baseball squads. With the trade deadline past and teams looking to call up prospects to see what they have next year, or plan […]

Please, blog, may I have some more?Nolan McLean will be called up on Saturday. An MLB GM looks at a calendar. There, Saturday is circled. MLB GM, “It just happens that this Saturday (player’s name) is ready. I know! What a crazy coincidence as it’s also the day when it’s in our best interest to call up a prospect.” MLB GMs […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Red Sox RHP Dustin May pitched six innings and allowed one run in his second start with Boston after allowing four runs in 3.2 innings against the Royals in his debut. This front office took a lot of heat during the Rafael Devers saga, and they probably could’ve avoided that with better communication, but the proof is in the win-loss pudding at this point, and Boston is back in a playoff race, 1.5 games up on the Yankees and and one game behind the Mariners for the top wild card spot.
Please, blog, may I have some more?It’s now the middle of August. If your kids are back in school, and you’re a work at home person, congratulations! If you, like me, have a driver coming up, condolences! Good luck and enjoy the insurance bill. I’m currently in the Smokies, doing our last ditch summer trip. With the dreaded work week starting […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Mets’ greatest hitter conversation is relatively short one. I’d list Bonilla, but I’m talking past greats and he’s still on the payroll. Howard Johnson was awesome, definitely better hitter than motel. Mookie Wilson is just fun. Say “Mookie Wilson” and try not to smile. Gary Carter created the term “the F bomb,” and hit pretty […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?It was trad-a-palooza for the final few days of the Razzball Commenter Leagues trade season. We had a whopping 23 trades get accepted in the final days. Ya’ll were busy! VIn collected a slew of trade data for us, but on the season, COUGS R US, our Champions League, had the most trades with 18. […]
