Mets’ conveyor belt of young impressive arms wraps around the world at the Equator, then loops up over South America like two suspenders and the head, Jeremy Hefner, is Canada, and the crotch area is whatever David Peterson’s done the last month and the armpits in New Jersey and Los Angeles (my two homes, aw, […]

Last week, Laura Holt said “there could be a little deep-league intrigue here” regarding Jeremiah Jackson. And Laura is THE deep league queen. Then our Great Leader Grey wrote up Jackson in both the Monday and Tuesday recaps. “There’s no hotter schmotato right now in all of baseball. You need to get in on the […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?The last time I put out a rankings list was nearly 2 months ago as we were coming out of the All-Star Break. At that time, I was still hesitant to fully buy in when it came to players who have had unexpectedly good or bad seasons. Well, we’re running out of games to play, so maybe it’s time I come around on some players. As a result, you’ll see some fairly significant movement up and down this week’s ranks.
Please, blog, may I have some more?I kinda like the searching I have to do now to make sense of a pitching line. It’s like: “Ooh, Cade Horton is through five innings and he’s got a no hitter with only one walk and six Ks (or 5 IP, 0 ER, 0 hits, 1 walk, 6 Ks, ERA at 2.78). He’s managed […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?With the rosters expanding from 26 to 28, we’ve seen a pile of promotions this week. A lot of them are depth pieces, but we saw some blue chippers, too.
Freshly promoted Mariners C Harry Ford should get some run behind the plate and cover a few starts in the outfield. Cal Raleigh has tailed off a bit after the All-Star break and would likely benefit from a few more days at DH. In 97 games at Triple-A this year, Ford is slashing .283/.408/.460 with 16 home runs and seven stolen bases.
Please, blog, may I have some more?When I started writing for this site three years ago (continually dodging the pink slip from the Grey Reaper), ranks were my favorite thing. I did them every week! That was extra, though. Now it’s pre-season, mid-season, and…………. End-ish of season. Ranks are kinda boring without some sort of context attached to them. So, this […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?“He missed May.” That’s the note I have Post-It’d next to the name Jazz Chisholm Jr. in my brain. Yesterday, he went 3-for-4, 3 RBIs with a double slam (27, 28) and legs (26), as he hits .243. The counting stats are weak-ish; for some reason he’s hitting 7th, but a 30/30 season is hard […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Hope all our readers had a nice long weekend! It’s back to school time and the wind-down to the baseball season. Just four weeks remain in the baseball season, and it’s an all out sprint to the finish! Timing worked out great with the long weekend and the end of August, so we have updated […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?The final month of the season is upon us, and we’re back with a couple brief stolen base SAGNOF thoughts and, of course, our Speed Dials on this Tuesday. Not much excitement thus far A pretty uneventful September call-up date was headlined by Sal Stewart getting the call for the Reds, and he hit 6th […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?On this episode of the Razzball Fantasy Baseball Podcast, Grey Albright and B_Don flip the script and dive into the players who’ve stumbled through the second half of the season. After weeks of covering late-season breakouts, it’s time to talk about the guys who’ve let fantasy managers down when it matters most and whether their […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?I’m not one to yearn for the long-gone, halcyon days, waning nostalgic for the old stuff. Faster games are nice, I like the pitch clock and I don’t miss watching pitchers hit. 40-man rosters though? Ah, the salad days. Back in the day (2019), rosters would turn from a soda can to a Foster’s. We’d […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Happy Monday, and welcome to September, Razzball faithful! So last weekend, when I took the kids to the Neil Young concert, we had some time to kill beforehand. As luck would have it, the concert venue was located inside the same place where the annual “Toronto Exhibition” is held. The Ex is kind of like […]
