One last week before the All-Star break, and it’s a good one. We’ve got both high-end options and depth in offerings. Even down into the Fortune Cookies, there are guys who have been interesting this season. Weeks like this one are good. We like them. As a scheduling note, be aware that the Cookie Shop will […]

Here’s what Hunter Brown (6 IP, 0 ER, 5 baserunners, 6 Ks, ERA at 3.41) is going to be next year, at least in casual leagues: A sleeper who will start to get inflated as we get closer to the season, and then will be an ace next year and I’ll say he was a […]

Two Start Cookie Shop: August 19-25
August 18, 2024 | 2024 Fantasy Baseball, Fantasy Baseball Two Start Pitchers | 2 Commentsby: Latch-Key Kid
There are a lot of names listed below this week. Unfortunately, a majority of them are either back-end starters, guys who have fallen on hard times recently, guys with ugly matchups, or a combination of the three. Some of the guys in the Oatmeal Cookie tier might have found themselves amongst the Sugar Cookies earlier […]

Reds Can’t Buy A Hit If Blake’s Snelling
August 3, 2024 | 2024 Fantasy Baseball, Fantasy Baseball Daily Notes | 24 Commentsby: Dan Pants
San Francisco Giants starter slash lefty slash reigning Cy Young slash second half savant Blake Snell notched his first win of the season Friday night and it was a doozy! Snell masterfully no-hit the Cincinnati Reds, the first no-hitter of his career and third in the MLB this year. Dude was dominant throughout, allowing just […]
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?Folks, this week’s selection of two start pitchers is ugly. I’m sure there will be a number of quality performances over the course of the week, but there is precisely one guy I think anyone actually feels excited about getting to use this week. It certainly isn’t a week where you want to be aggressively hitting […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?The last couple weeks provided an abundance of guys you wanted to get into your lineup. This week offers a much less rich selection. It has more question marks, for sure. I’m interested to see what happens with the home run rate across the league as we get into June. To this point, it has […]

Ambulance Chasers: Eflin Up My Roster
May 24, 2024 | 2024 Fantasy Baseball | 8 Commentsby: keelinbillue
Welcome back to another rousing edition of Razzball Ambulance Chasers. The bodies are still warm. The hamstrings are served strained. Speaking of rousing, warm, and strained, I took a note from MarmosDad’s playbook and injured my leg in a sports incident (or rather a series of sports incidents). Now, I get to attend weekly physical […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Much to my frustration, the tables below will never be perfect. Pitchers expected to do well will get blown up. Offenses you expect to pile up runs will be frustratingly flummoxed by forecasted failures. Injuries and weather will wreak havoc. But what frustrates me most is when we simply don’t know what order we expect […]

Top 100 Starters For 2023: Week 20
August 14, 2023 | Featured, Top 100 Starting Pitchers | 4 Commentsby: everywhereblair
I tell a lot of whoppers in this series, but here’s a totally true story about luck that happened to me this weekend. I’m up in the great north, on a cabin in a lake. Sure, that’s lucky, but it’s not the story. Now, I don’t fish a lot. I’ve probably cast a line less than 100 times total in my life, and almost all of those casts are me casting for my kids. I’m the kind of guy that goes fishing for other people.
So when I cast my kiddie reel into 5 foot deep water in the middle of the day, I didn’t expect to get much. But when I pulled out a 16” walleye, my fishing-familiar friends were impressed. I asked my kids to take a photo of me and my catch of a lifetime. Wouldn’t you know — three photos later, I had a picture of the dock, a picture of my face, and a picture of me in focus but the fish completely out of focus. At least I had a witness.

We’re inching toward the MLB trade deadline and the anticipation is starting to grow. The biggest question on everyone’s mind: Will Shohei Ohtani be taking his unique set of skills to another team, or will the Angels actually be buyers and try to add pieces around him? We all know how this works, every discussion […]

Hey, Timmy, thanks for coming to see me in this old age home. Did you bring me the stewed carrots I asked for? Oh, great. What a pal. Let me take my teeth out so I can slurp on the soft carrots. I can’t believe how old I feel now. What’s that? Speak up! How old am I?! Same age I was five days ago, but it’s not how old I am. It’s how old I feel. Oh, yeah, I was spry duck just last week, but the first week of April’s starting pitching has aged me forty years in five days. I started the week remembering to go pee-pee and poo-poo in the toilet, and now I’m wearing diapers! Stupid starting pitching! Welp, we have one good starter this year, his name is Alek Manoah (6 IP, 0 ER, 1 hit, 4 walks, 7 Ks). Was watching Manoah last night and to say he looked good is somehow an understatement and an overstatement. He was unhittable, while also being nowhere near the plate for huge chunks of the game. It was not the best I had seen him — that was when he was interviewed with his mother and I was able to block him out of the shot with my hand. But for one magical night in April, we actually got a decent pitching line, so, ya know what? Alek Manoah looked as awesome as his mom, Aleka Momoah! Anyway, here’s what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
