About halfway through week 14 marked our midpoint of the fantasy baseball season. We tend to celebrate the halfway mark at the All-Star break, but this is actually our halfway point for stat purposes. That means you should be sitting around 700 IP right now if you plan to max out, or at the very […]

Bias is an interesting thing. Before Grimmace, the New York Mets were left for dead in DFS contests. Soon Francisco Lindor caught fire and so followed the rest of the Mets. They have been the best offensive team over the past 30 days and just yesterday, on a 3 game slate, they were highly owned […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Grey and B_Don are back for another episode of the Razzball Fantasy Baseball Podcast. James Wood has been called up by the Nationals and you should be excited!

Please, blog, may I have some more?“I grabbed Wood two weeks ago and finally it’s paying off with some pleasure!” [Cancel Police break down my door and throw me to the ground] Don’t you need a search warrant before entering my house about a cancellation? Ow, you are digging your steel-toed boots into my back! Lift them off me, or lower […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Happy Monday AND Happy Canada Day, to my fellow Razzballians! It’s July 1st, Eh? I’ve always seen July as an ideal date to assess where the fantasy teams are at and plan the rest of the summer accordingly. But it’s also a day where we get all done up in our redshirts and (politely) tie […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?This year, I’ve been giving you obscure adds for your desperate teams. Loyal readers who read the whole article also find that, at the bottom, I give you a “sell” tip. Sometimes, the most effective thing we can do for our fantasy teams isn’t adding a new player, but benching your struggling high draft pick. But my confirmation bias, you shout, staring at your 2019 league winning team on Yahoo’s history page. Miguel Sano is due! Me too, bro. One day I’ll return to my 30 homer power and you’ll be drafting me in leagues again. But until then, you need to cut your dead weight and open up space for some hot second half action. Think about baseball!
To celebrate the Fourth of July this week, I’m giving you a whole article on “sell” options — let’s get your roster ready for the next big thing!
Please, blog, may I have some more?One of the most common bumper stickers on trucks in India is, “Taj Mahaulin’ Ass,” which is a bit of a country motto, that they don’t look kindly on altering. Raj Gopalaswami-Ramanathan, a South Indian truck driver, famously altered his bumper sticker to Raj Maulin’ Ass, and, one night, he was wrapped in 5-foot wide […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?This week’s two start options are a big ol’ “Yikes.” It’s real ugly out there, folks. How bad is it? In the tiers below there are 18 pitchers who qualify as Oatmeal Cookies or better. That is equal to the number of Fortune Cookies. And I felt like I was stretching on some of those […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?We’ve reached the midpoint of the season, where we have as much in the rearview mirror as we do ahead. At this juncture, it’s easy to overlook players who are either flourishing or floundering as the sample size grows. However, this is not the time to rest. As we approach the All-Star break, the best […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?We had another successful week of streamers last week, and it led to one of my best weeks of the year. I had numerous 8-2 wins in my season-long leagues, and those are the sort of scorelines that could change the standings. The volatility of streamers can lead to lines like that but it will […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?1. Nationals OF James Wood | 21 | AAA
Word on the street is Wood will be promoted to debut Monday at home against the Mets on ESPN. He went 3-for-5 with a walk and a double on Friday night. I’m going to leave him here and take the list to 11 just to cover all the bases.
Please, blog, may I have some more?A few short weeks ago, we had to update our prior understanding of some league-wide factors affecting our dumb little fantasy game. This week, with every team crossing the half-season mark and the All-Star break bearing down on us, let’s get some housekeeping in order for the second half of the season. These two factors […]
