The trade deadline has come and gone. Here’s the trades that affected the corners, and some quick hitters after. The deal: Cubs acquire Isaac Paredes, Rays acquire Christopher Morel Morel shouldn’t lose any of his power value in Florida but the counting numbers might dip. They clearly liked his XStats, and if you have been […]

So here I am, sitting at 6:29 AM and it’s already 83 degrees with humidity, well on the way to another day of heat advisories. Chicago did its part to promote Twisters by having at least ten tornadoes on the ground last night. There has already been a Cat 5 Hurricane. Does this feel like […]

We were cruising with our streamers going into last week, but that wasn’t my best showing. Trevor Rogers really crapped on our week with that Saturday stinker but the rest of the results were okay. That will happen every once in a while when evaluating streamers because they guys are naturally volatile players. That’s definitely […]

Now that we have a full month of baseball action behind us, it’s time to start reviewing some of the broader trends affecting our little fantasy baseball game. We are quickly approaching the time when sample sizes start becoming “real,” but I like this first month delineation because on a larger, team-wide scale, there is […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Whew boy, what a week, huh? We were once again buried under an avalanche of injuries plus had to deal with all the rubbernecking at the prospect call-ups. * But you know what that chaos in our player pool creates? All the fodder we ever needed to fuel this piece for another week. As we […]

Intro Forgive me if I’m a bit out of it right now. After the Shane Bieber injury, I searched for life’s meaning in a few liquor bottles. I didn’t quite find the answers I was looking for; but give me a minute, I’ll find them somewhere down there… Anywho, time for another update to the […]

Sanchez Stakes Philly To Whiz Past Orioles
July 25, 2023 | Fantasy Baseball Daily Notes, Featured | 256 Commentsby: Grey
Yesterday, Cristopher Sanchez went 7 IP, 2 ER, 4 hits, zero walks, 8 Ks, ERA at 2.98, which is fine and dandy, but spelling it Cristopher is so Euro trash. Like you just stepped out of a Mazerati and you tossed me your keys, and I’m not valet, but simply a person selling balloon animals. With that said, Cristopher is carrying on the long, 3-month tradition of terrible pitchers being great and great pitchers being terrible. This is truly hilarious: His walk rate in the minors? 5.3 BB/9. El oh you gotta be kidding me el. In the majors, 1.3 BB/9. What, and I will pause now for emphasis, is going on? How can that be? It’s ludicrous. It’s Ludacris with What’s Your Fantasy, and Why Is He Not Getting Hit? Do MLB hitters just not know to hold for a walk? Could it be that simple? He’s barely a 8 K/9 pitcher, so if the walks are bad, everything about him is bad, but. Dot dot dot. Here we are. Streamonator hates his next start, and I have no confidence, but I would try him for his next start, because up is clearly down and vice versa. Anyway, here’s what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:

DFS: What’s Eating Logan Gilbert
April 18, 2023 | 2023 Fantasy Baseball, DFS, DraftKings, Fanduel |by: MattTruss
Tuesdays and Fridays are my favorite DFS days. I dig the full slate days, with SO many options to choose from I prefer the variety of lineups vs a short schedule day where everyone plays the best plays and if you don’t have the ONE guy who goes off, you’ve lost everything. The unfortunate issue […]

Rolling In The Deep: Opening Day Lineup Surprises
March 31, 2023 | 2023 Fantasy Baseball, Rolling In The Deep | 9 Commentsby: Laura Holt
Happy Baseball Season! I’m not sure why this offseason felt like the longest one ever to me, especially since it was actually shorter than last year’s, and WAY shorter than 2020’s, but it’s all moot now. We finally have actual box scores that count in fantasy standings and — who knew this was such a […]

December 30, 2022 | Our Leagues | 50 Commentsby: Grey
*takes a long inhale* You smell that? No, not your sweatpants you’ve been wearing for the last week. Well, them, but I’m talking about the smell of the 2023 fantasy baseball draft season. So fresh, so clean. So ulcer, so sniped. It’s good to be back to one of the best times of the year. It’s so much better than “Playing your 9th outfielder because everyone is hurt” time of the year. I’ve even begun rolling out my 2023 fantasy baseball rankings on our Patreon. So, me and a bunch of Razzball commenters got together and took part in an NFBC Draft. Will get another draft started prolly around January/February, if you wanna take part, and, of course, Happy New Year (of drafting fantasy baseball)! Anyway, here’s my NFBC 2023 fantasy baseball draft recap; it’s a 15-team, two-catcher, draft and hold league that goes 50 rounds and has no waivers:

Welcome to the first weekend in June, Razzenfants! The months of May and June are always interesting to baseball. The significance and rate of injuries seem to slow or plateau. The players finally seem stretched out and warmed up. You let your guard down, and then BOOM! Two guys on your team need Tommy John […]

Every so often an under-the-radar prospect gets the call-up and immediately finds immediate impactful playing time. The biggest name thus far of the 2022 season is Cubs’ utility man Christopher Morel. Morel was ranked 16th by Fangraphs on the Cubs’ list going into the 2022 season. He already has five steals in his 13 games […]
