As you might’ve heard on our last podcast, August 15th is the target date for when teams can call up prospects and have just the right amount of service time manipulation. The Goldilocks of service time manipulation. See, prospects cannot exceed 45 days in the majors and be eligible for the Rookie of the Year […]

Hello again, friends! Well, somehow we are suddenly a week into August, and if you listen carefully, you can almost hear the footsteps of the fantasy crowd slowly but surely marching over to the land of fantasy football. It’s getting more difficult by the day to feel invested in a disappointing baseball team, real or […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?It’s hard to believe it’s already early August. Seems like only yesterday that we got together with league mates to draft what we hoped would be a championship-caliber teams. Now, we’re just a few short weeks away from the playoffs. If you’re currently in the playoff mix, odds are you’ve ridden a few arms to […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?It’s interesting to me how different J. Lo, the four-time divorcee with six broken engagements, is from Ja-Lo, which is just me answering the phone with a funny voice. By the way, thinking about J. Lo’s most recent divorce, and does Ben Affleck know there’s women with a name other than Jennifer? Does he not […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Middle infield hasn’t been the easiest place to find gems this season. While the SS player pool feels similar to its usual high quality with the top 10-12 at the position, its depth isn’t there in the same way we’ve seen in recent years. Conversely, while 2B doesn’t offer much ceiling this season, it seems to me a deeper position where I can find surprising help off the waiver wire to fill some stat needs. But it only goes so deep, and all of the usual suspects are widely rostered.

Please, blog, may I have some more?“Weird that DraftKings has a bet for Gavin Williams to have a no-hitter into the 9th when he loses it to a Juan Soto homer. Feels kinda specific. Hmm, let’s see how this plays out…What’s that, FanDuel is giving a $5 free roll on an over/under for 126 pitches by Gavin Williams today? That is […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Today’s a pretty big deal for Nationals RHP Cade Cavalli, who will make his first MLB appearance since his major league debut in 2022. He allowed seven earned runs in 4.1 innings that night and hasn’t been doing a whole lot better than that in Triple-A this year (6.09 ERA in 65 innings), so he’s a pretty obvious ratio-bomb waiting to happen. Probably wise to avoid unless he can string a few solid outings together.

Please, blog, may I have some more?The state I teach in recently enacted a no phone bill into law. Like, there are to be no phones in classes, by teachers or students, or something like that. I’m happy and sad at the same time. I love my phone! I named it Bob and call it my third child. Literally. I will […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Since Luke Keaschall (2-for-4, 3 RBIs and his 1st homer) has been out for most of the season, let’s do a refresher. If you’re in the south, his name is Keasch’all. In the north, it’s “Pop.” In Minnesota, it’s Minne-Soda. In the Mid-Atlantic, it’s Soder. In Philly, it’s Darin Ruf. In Jersey, it’s Darin Roof. […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?When we hit week 20, the end-of-season panic really starts to set in for me. Seven weeks remaining, and I’m either looking to make a big move or hold on to the top spot for dear life. The trade deadline looms (ours is tonight at midnight!), so it’s also the last chance to make any […]
