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 […]

Weekly Razzball news delivered straight to your inbox.
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.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Royce Lewis hit the IL with a strained abductor saying, “Buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-but! I want to play! My abductor is fine! I’m not a mollusk! I don’t have an abductor! Do I look like a mollusk?” Then Rocco Baldelli squeezed lemon on his head, sprinkled some Maldon salt and slurped him down. Bye, Royce Lewis, he returned […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?The 2024 Futures Game rosters were made public on Tuesday, so I’d like to highlight some key takeaways that might be relevant to people with mid-week transaction set-ups.
For dynasty purposes, the Futures Game has always been an escalator for prospect fantasy values. Most people don’t watch minor league baseball on the regular, so their first time seeing some of these prospects with their own eyes happens during this seven-inning exhibition game.
My takeaway today is that values are going to change more than ever this season due to the new Futures Skills Showcase that will follow the game itself.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Hey Razzfaithful, back in the saddle after returning from a family vacation. With renewed clarity and a sunburn, I’m ready to take on a midseason review of my sleepers and deep dives from the early going. Call it a furthering need for authenticity. I do my best to practice this with my work and family, […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Our stack choice last week came back to bite us as we were burned by the Braves stack. What else is new? The pitching choices were spot on, but I must be better at lineup construction. Hope you’re still with me on this as we give it another go. We’re going with our gut here […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?The Mets are ladened in Grimace. Oozing from their pores is that giant purple nutsack’s charisma. They have imbibed the Grimace Shake and are juiced to the gills. With that said, I was really impressed by DJ Herz. He dazzled up my goggles like a sweaty Kurt Rambis in a sauna. There’s only two starters […]
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?Sorry about not being around for all you Razzballeroos last week. When life gets busy, my secondary loves of fantasy baseball and gambling take a backseat to real life youth baseball and travel. Sometimes it’s tough to find an hour or two to put together the dynamic articles you know and love when it comes […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?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 […]
