Last week’s results were satisfactory, but we’re not aiming for that. It was one of my worst weeks of the year, but that won’t happen this week. This is one of the best weeks of streamers I’ve seen all season, and I can’t wait to dive into the options. With that in mind, let’s start […]

Strained his quad in late May and was expected to miss four-to-six weeks. Tampa is 4.5 games out of the final wild card spot as of Saturday morning and already sold Aaron Civale, but that was about opening a spot for Baz as much as anything else.
Please, blog, may I have some more?In preparation of writing about Alek Thomas below, I re-visited this piece in Week 1 and was struck by how much the tenants laid out there remain true this week, well into the thick of the MLB schedule. What those suggestions (review playing time, spend early, examine schedules, and scout your fantasy league) boil down […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?It was an unstoppable force (the Grimace Mets) meets an immovable object (Rowdy Tellez – 2 for 4, 2 HR, 5 RBI, 2 Runs) in the box Friday night in Pittsburgh and Rowdy held his ground knocking two dingers including a grand salami. Also double donging in this one was Brian Reynolds (4 for 5, […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Welcome back to another week of Razzball Ambulance Chasers! I hope your fingers are intact after the explosion holiday. I will tell you what isn’t intact: groins! hamstrings! elbows! wrists! It’s a veritable mixture of body parts in this week’s Ambulance Chasers. Let’s jump in. Notable Injuries AL East Isiah Kiner-Falefa (2B/3B/SS/OF), knee: Well folks, […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Shane Baz two weeks ago, Robbie Ray last week, Jeffrey Springs this week. I know what you’re thinking, Kershaw next week, or Senga or Eduardo Rodriguez or some injured pitcher. No, this is it. I don’t have fantasy baseball Florence Nightingale syndrome. The dog days are not over! Wait, that’s Florence & the Machine. Well, […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Happy Friday everyone! Hope you all had a safe and sane Independence Day, and that you are finding a way to stay cool if you’re in an area where summer is hitting in a fast and furious manner. We still have a couple weeks before the All Star Game, so if your fantasy teams need […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?It’s good to be back in the Analytics Anonymous classroom talking fantasy baseball after a short time away. Like many of you, summer is the time for family vacations and if we’re lucky, time away from the phone and Google machine. That’s what it was like for me recently and alas, will be again the […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?DFS changed for me when I realized I had to play for first place to 1) ever make any real money 2) be a winning player at all. DFS contests are top heavy. I have been fortunate to take down several big tourneys in my career (including last night), and when I am not taking […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Hope everyone had a great 4th! And, if not, because of a fireworks mishap, I hope you had an appropriately-sized piece of a hot dog nearby to act as a tourniquet. For the 4th of July, I put on water wings, floated in my kiddie pool, got 3rd degree sunburns and drank Rolling Rocks while […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?On the weekend last, I bucked my 20-year trend and met fellow Razzballers at an event more than worthy of our time. Your author came as close as he will ever stray to meeting his anti-hero, Bud Black. It was a reverse World Series, a battle between two of the four most futile teams in all of baseball. In another world I live in California or Miami and manage to catch the Athletics play the Marlins. In this world, however, we watched the Colorado Rockies do battle with the Chicago White Sox. What a glory it was to behold.
Please, blog, may I have some more?What is up party people? Take a quick break from your hot dog eating contests and your firework shows for some fantasy baseball. Speaking of fireworks, Aaron Judge is putting on a one man show. I normally like to focus on potential adds here but Judge has been too good not to mention. At this point in time he is more than halfway to 62 and all that power has been backed up by a batting average hovering around .300. As a baseball fan a home run record chase would be fun, even if it is against himself. Enjoy the festivities and stay safe out there.
