Please, blog, may I have some more?In the past, I wrote about 17 of these Jordan Lawlar intros. That happens when a guy is great in the minors for many years and his team refuses to call him up or they do call him up and he doesn’t perform or he gets injured for entire seasons. All of these things have […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Ramon Urias injured his hammy, and what goes with a moan over hammy? Mayo! Put some egg yolks in a jar and a squeeze of lemon with some neutral-tasting oil and shake! What’s you got? Mayo! What’s the state condiment of Indiana? Mayo! Mayo! Mayo! Coby Mayo is here and he’s–[ten days later, Ramon Urias […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?A close look at the depth charts for each middle infield in the AL East. There is plenty of star power, but not as much quality as you might expect.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Eugenio Suarez went quad shopping on Saturday night, hitting his 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th homer (with 5 RBIs, and 1-for-3, 1 run on Sunday). Eugenio said I see your Mark Whiten and I’m hitting! Eugenio said you can call me Geno because you don’t SEE NO ball when I’m done with it! The last […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Major League Baseball has now played four of 26 weeks this season, which means we have minimal stats to evaluate players for our fantasy baseball squads. With Opening Day past us and the dog days of summer ahead, who have been some of the more interesting risers and fallers? In the aggregate, four weeks of […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?With the first few weeks of the season in the books, some hitters are off to surprising starts. But early stat lines can be deceiving. A hot streak in April doesn’t always translate to a breakout year, just as a cold start doesn’t guarantee a lost season. At times, a 4-for-5 Opening Day can lead to a player being hailed as the next Ted Williams but slow down, cowboy. That’s a hot dog at a buffet, not the whole meal. We must dig in and figure out which performances are worth our attention. At this point in the season, some player’s results are either too good for a seller to move at a price a buyer is willing to pay or vice versa. The real fantasy gurus are the ones who can sift through the smoke and mirrors to identify sneaky values and make a play before it’s too late. Today, in our Hitter Profiles, we’re going rapid fire on a handful of intriguing players to decide whether their performance is a steal worth riding or a stumble suggesting regression is looming.
Please, blog, may I have some more?With all this talk about torpedo bats and barrels, I thought we should take the opportunity to look at the early data to see if we can find something useful for our Points league teams. Now, I hear what you’re saying. “We’re only crossing into double-digit games, how can any of that data be meaningful […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Spencer Schwellenbach was brilliant Friday night notching his first win of 2025 going eight innings allowing just two hits and striking out 10 Marlins! His back MUST be swelling after carrying his team like that! I say carry like the Braves didn’t score 10 runs with 16 hits. Still! Spencer has been one of the […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?With a rankings list, the most important thing (at least in my view) is not to overreact to small data sets. It’s hard to really move anyone up or down much unless something is really notable in the first week of the season. For most of the list, there really isn’t much that is all […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?I don’t drink. Not like I’m an alcoholic, I’m not in AA, making amends for the people who drafted Rougned Odor way too high in 2017. He was very good in 2016, I cannot help that his BABIP plummeted. I did nothing wrong. See? No amends! I mention I don’t drink in a longwinded way […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Yesterday, Thomas Harrington (4 IP, 6 ER, 11 baserunners) called up by the Pirates. Thomas Harrington has a legacy membership to Shadyside Country Club. Thomas Harrington does not go by Tom or Tommy because he is prim and proper. Thomas Harrington wears a napkin under his collar while he pitches and calls his grandmother’s”helper” mammy […]
