Marlins’ Batters Got Cristophried
June 19, 2025 | Fantasy Baseball Daily Notes, Featured | 218 Commentsby: Grey
Philadelphia Phillies is such a funny name. It’s like the California Calis or the New York Yorkies. How’d that get through 150 years of name changes to get to us? ACKSUALLY, I wonder if it’s because it’s such an old name it’s how it’s here. The name is from 1883, and back then people would […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?This winter I spent two months in “How to Spell Misiorowski” class for beginners and my family said I was dumb for wasting my time. Well, how dum am I now?! Dum is with a B? Hmm, well, I didn’t take that class, did I, you dop! Dop has an E? I prolly should’ve spread […]

Points Leagues – Risers And Fallers
May 19, 2025 | 2025 Fantasy Baseball, Points Leagues | 11 CommentsWe’ve approached the 50-game threshold and we’re starting to see movement in players. No, I’m not talking about trades. I’m referring to the phenomena each season where slow-starters begin to heat up and fast-starters remind us they are not superstars (yet). So, for this week’s Points-league analysis, we’ll identify those players on the rise and […]

May 12, 2025 | Fantasy Baseball Daily Notes, Featured | 306 Commentsby: Grey
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?Rarely am I surprised by a demotion. Jake Burger being demoted shocked me. We should have a contest next preseason to guess the guy who will be demoted that will floor people. Has to be a guy in the top 125 or so in drafts, and I have to pin down what “floored” means. So, […]

April 29, 2025 | Fantasy Baseball Daily Notes, Featured | 330 Commentsby: Grey
A hand shoots through the ground, it’s a skeleton claw! Next, oh my God, it’s skeleton head! “I want pitcher brain custard,” it sneered. Is this, oh my God, has Trent Grisham (1-for-6 and his 8th homer and 4th homer in six games) turned into a Zombino? Cut! No, this is ridiculous. I’m sorry, he’s […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?As a way to offer readers some deeper knowledge about the fantasy-relevant players on MLB rosters, I’m going to be checking in from time to time with a full division’s worth of middle infielders. As a long-suffering Cubs fan, I couldn’t resist starting with the NL Central. If my assessment gets a bit bleak at […]
Please, blog, may I have some more? Paris Dishing Out Some Batatouille
April 8, 2025 | Fantasy Baseball Daily Notes | 322 Commentsby: Grey
Yesterday, Kyren Paris (1-for-3, 2 RBIs) hit his 3rd homer. At the worst, a hot schmotato. At the best, he’s hosting the last Olympics in his brain and we’re all Raygun. At most realistic, he’ll be hot for a few weeks until teams figure him out. At the most illuminating, I just realized Gaylord Perry […]
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?“So, that’s how he was good last year!” is what a lot of people will be saying now. I may be one of those people. A lot of people will be asking, “Jurickson Profar, why did you cheat?” And to those people I will be saying, “Did you see how bad he was prior to […]
