The other day Bo Bichette announced he still wants to play for the Jays. Cool, I still want to practice my 13 years of Spanish with Salma Hayek. Hola, mi amor, I will say as we laugh and hold peaches to each other’s mouths. Mi amor, you’re letting it drip down my chin! Si, I […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?I don’t have enough spam, give me the Razzball email newsletter!
Weekly Razzball news delivered straight to your inbox.
Greetings, and hope September is treating you well. This can be a tough — and let’s face it, boring in some leagues — time for us fantasy baseballers (to borrow a term from my friend’s mom). If you’re sunk in the standings, it’s difficult to feel motivated in any size league to devote time to […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Slider just goes bye-bye. Breaking balls just going oofie-doofie. Fastballs sitting 97 on the paint. Comes back with the slider. Then the oofie-doofie then the bye-bye paint. I think the Mets might regret not waiting on Kumar Rocker (4 IP, 1 ER, 5 baserunners, 7 Ks). The mechanics are a little histrionic, so I don’t […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?What is up party people? We still have a couple weeks left of fantasy action before the post season kicks real baseball into high gear. If you are still in the hunt for a championship, I salute you and hope you can bring it home. At this point in the season, you have a pretty good handle on your team. Jarren Duran has to be on the short list of 2024 breakout stars. He has delivered power and speed, tied for the league lead in doubles while batting almost .290. I can’t say for certain where he will go in drafts next season but I can guarantee you it will be quite a bit higher than he went this season (ADP varies by source but it’s safe to say he was drafted well outside the top 100). I’m also not sure where I will have him ranked next season but top 20 doesn’t feel out of the question.
Please, blog, may I have some more?In our 59th episode, Mike Couillard and Jeremy Brewer open by celebrating Pavin Smith’s recent accomplishments before diving into the latest moves and injuries impacting our player pools. Then we discuss and overview the latest baseball card release, 2024 Bowman Chrome, which debuted on Sept. 11. You can find us on twitter (X) at @cardscategories, @mcouill7, and @jbrewer17 and on bluesky […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Yesterday, the DBags showed why they might be the most feared offense in baseball. The bottom of their lineup is better than the Dodgers’ bottom. Their top is better than the Yanks’ top. This is not just hyperbole. I did a stats search. Look at the big brain on Grey! They lead MLB in runs, […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Rangers RHP Kumar Rocker is all set to make his debut Thursday against the Mariners. Arms don’t always come back from reconstructive elbow surgeries, but Rocker has returned looking like the best version of what we dreamed he could be, wiping hitters away with superb command of an 80-grade slider that mixes well with his fastball and changeup. It’s a tip-of-the-iceberg type feeling at the moment as it stands to reason that there’s more in the tank for Rocker both this year and in the near future considering he’s just 26.2 innings into this healthy phase of career. In two Triple-A starts, he struck out 51.4 percent of the hitters he faced, walking 2.9 percent. That’s pretty good over any sample size.
Please, blog, may I have some more?I’m a shameless slacker, guys. So when Jeremy Brewer does a sleeper post, I’m gonna do a sleeper post as well. It’s just a good practice. Why work harder when you can work less hard? “These are players who have had partial seasons, late breakouts, or have shown notable skill improvements but haven’t yet made it […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?The Seattle Mariners are dead in the water and Michael King, SP ($9,600) smells fresh blood. This offense has been anemic all season long, and that will not change tonight. King is 15 strikeouts away from reaching 200, and sadly, there is a non-zero chance he gets to 200 tonight. The Mariners strikeout at an […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Started Keider Montero because of the Streamonator and I felt dirty, but call me a dirty, dirty boy because I am rolling in the filth! I am howling in the pigsty of life, baby! I am eating where I crap! I am saying no to bacon because it is literally me. I am not a […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?What’s poppin, Razzpimples?! Remember to bookmark that Razzball Bullpen Chart, y’all! I update it obsessively. Also, if you’re a sub (you should be a sub…it’s great value), you get access to RP Projections and the super badass Relievonator Game Log tool, in addition to all the other awesome tools we have to offer. Hittertron and Streamonator, etc. Let’s do it […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?As baseball shifts into September things change. Much like the leaves on the trees, the temperature of the wind, and the flavor of my iced coffee, there is a shift. Pitchers are throwing fewer innings as they come up on IP limits or seek rest before a playoff run, gone are the hot, humid summer […]
