I think I need to clear something up about how the Dive Bar here works. Most weeks, whoever I’ve put in The Top Shelf, I’ve put there because they’re going to do better for you over the course of the week than any one-start pitcher in the same span. Pitchers don’t always do what I […]

Last week’s streamers were full of mixed results. All of the pitchers did ok, but none of them went off. The hitters fell in the same boat, with Garrett Cooper looking like the best pick of the bunch. Recommending a guy to blow up against my Rockies is a double-ended sword but rooting for the […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Today is June 26th. On this day in 1961, Yogi Berra collected his 2000th career hit. The Hall of Famer and 18-time All-Star is widely regarded as one of the greatest catchers in baseball history. Some of his very long list of baseball accomplishments include 14 World Series appearances, catching Don Larsen’s perfect game in […]

Please, blog, may I have some more?A slow week other than a couple of notable call-ups and activations. Should go without saying but all 10/12 team adds should be sought out in 15’s or deeper. Notable team schedules: Eight games: Guardians, Twins, Blue Jays Seven games: Yankees, Athletics, Pirates, Mariners, Rays Five games: Diamondbacks, Tigers, Mets, Giants It is […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?An amazing 80’s band, Ezequiel or Jarren? Why not all three? At the very least, it’ll make my Google searches efficient. And yes, while we (the royal we) generally don’t cover multiple players in this content-space, it’s hard to pass up such a nominal title. Not just that, but there’s a somewhat weird poetic juxtaposition here in terms of what Jarren Duran and Ezequiel Duran bring to the table. And while I’m still reveling in the +5 to creative writing by using the word juxtaposition in terms of what each player brings to the table, I’m still humbled by the fact that I’m drawing a blank on a proper Duran Duran pun that doesn’t involve someone being a wolf and also hungry. I mean, let’s be honest, I’m hungry, but not like Michael J. Fox 80’s hungry. 40-year-old jokes make me sad…
Please, blog, may I have some more?Kansas City Royals rookie slash on-again off-again major leaguer Edward Olivares was 2-for-3 with twin tanks as he returned from injury Friday night picking up right where he left off: mashing baseballs. Oli showed the KC Mob what he could do at the end of April/early May with a seven game hitting streak collecting 11 […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Howdy Razzpeople! I hope you have had a smooth week out there. I spent some time out of fantasy and in the REAL ballpark this week for the Chicago White Sox Pride Night. The Sox took an L (and I do not mean the train) courtesy of the Orioles. However, the vibes, food, and booze […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Hogan’s Heroes was a fine television show in the early 1970s. Only a portion of the readership will have any recollection of the show. The best thing about Hogan’s is there was never a reboot. The network/writers left a good thing alone and stuck with the original. The same thing cannot be said for other […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?It does not take much in our game to go from fantasy darling to swift after-thought. Take for example the season line of 86-23-92-.310-2. This is the last full season in 2018 for Scooter Gennett of the Cincinnati Reds. After an injury stunted 2019 season and a trade to San Francisco that did not jump start his season, he was simply out of the game. So what is the point of all of this besides the fact that I simply miss Scooter as one of the fun personalities in the game? Today, we are taking a look at two first basement who were generally after thoughts in spring drafts and still do not get their due nearly halfway through the season. Hopefully they both have better fates than Scooter.

Holds out hand towards mouse, while internet page is open to waivers, “Luke, you are my waiver wire fodder.” Cougs walks in and sees I’m dressed as Darth Vader — again — and asks me if I’m gonna be playing fantasy all night or if we can watch some foreign film about a son who is secretly in love with his mother or some crap. “I’m playing fantasy,” I scream, but that fogs up my Darth mask, and I pout, removing it. Thanks a lot! So, we’ve had Josh Lowe, C.J.Abrams, Oneil Cruz, Riley Greene, Alex Kirilloff, Jarren Duran, and now we’ve got this new youngster, Luke Voit! Okay, not a youngster, but as June turns to July, the rookie callups are mostly behind us and it’s time we roll up our Ocean Pacific shorts, so we’re wearing short shorts, and dig in on guys who can actually help the ol’ fantasy team. Voit’s been on a heater in the month of June, and he could carry that over for another week, a few weeks or even a few months. Being under 50% rostered in mixed leagues needs to end, and let me get back to playing with my Smorestroopers! (Stormtroopers I made out of marshmallows, graham crackers and dark side chocolate.) Anyway, here’s some more players to Buy or Sell this week in fantasy baseball:
Please, blog, may I have some more?We’re heading into the last week of June, and the struggle is real when it comes to keeping on top of fantasy baseball rosters in the deepest leagues. Many if not most of the interesting prospects we’ve been waiting for have already arrived to the big leagues, and if you’re not rostering any of them […]
