Gavin Williams (7 IP, 0 ER, 3 baserunners (1 BB), 13 Ks, ERA at 3.81) might have the record for most ledes in one calendar year, and he only has a 3.81 ERA! Has any pitcher ever been so good while seeming so bad? Sorry, he’s excellent. Also, he’s got a near-4 ERA? I’m not […]

As we approach the home stretch (under 40 games left), it is time to make adjustments. We will discuss players who flipped the script, guys on heaters, players saving their best for last, and a few that may sink you if you stick with them. For some slumping stars, it’s another reminder to be patient, […]

Wanna have a little laugh-a-rooski at my expense? Of course you do! For last week’s Buy/Sell, which is really a Buy/Drop (but trademark attorneys couldn’t secure it), I wrote to drop Alex Bregman, but then prior to publishing it, I thought, “Grey, you big lug! You who’s-he-what’s-it’s! You surprisingly tall and slender man, you! No […]

This lede was derived from the very simple question: Who the eff is Blade Tidwell? I legitimately didn’t know. I asked AI and AI said, “That is the part Cuba Gooding Jr. played in Jerry Maguire with the very famous catchphrase, ‘Show me where your money is.’ If you’d like, Grey, I can tell you […]

Injuries happen. They happen to every position, every season. But it sure feels like the top of the outfield has been particularly snakebitten by them this year, doesn’t it? Just look at the names who were, if not top-10 picks at the position, certainly must-start players who are currently on the shelf: Aaron Judge, Juan […]

The Red Sox cannot be stopped. Nine straight! Twenty-seven of the last thirty. The team that looked destined for the dregs of the league has somehow clawed its way into something that feels less like a season and more like a baseball myth being written as we watch. And maybe the most beautiful part is […]

Yesterday, to honor Dillon Dingler, I did as I’ve done every day this summer, I dressed up like a poop emoji to watch the Tigers game from my house. I’m the Head Dingler Dangler, as you know. Unfortunately, I went outside to grab my Postmates (three-bean burrito, no lettuce), when my neighbor yelled at me, […]

This is where the rubber meets the road. For my first set of rest-of-season rankings, referencing R.E.M. and Michael Stipe feels so appropriate here. If you’ve been staring at your outfield roster on the IL, you are not alone, because everybody hurts right now. I also want to offer a quick disclaimer. I’ve learned a […]

Grey recently talked about the smell of napalm. There is another unmistakable stench in the air. Agent Smith from The Matrix said it best: “It’s the smell, if there is such a thing. I feel saturated by it. I can taste your stink, and every time I do, I fear that I’ve somehow been infected […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Chicago cyclist spins to win Friday night as the A’s wheels come off. White Sox outfielder slash rookie slash heartthrob slash former professional Banana baller Tristan Peters discovered a newfound love for cycling Friday night going 4-for-4 hitting for the cycle, and adding four RBI in a historic performance that was central to his team’s […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?I put it off as long as I could. It’s not that I’m against rankings. I quite like reading them and using them. And I don’t have any problem doing them on a small-scale, position-by-position basis. But how the 5th best SS compares to the 13th best OF and the 9th best SP? How do […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?I may have mentioned once or twice by now: Fantasy is a game a failure. We cannot predict human behavior 100% of the time, so our predictions about players are going to be wrong. Often. The best fantasy players aren’t necessarily good at predicting what players will do; they are simply less bad at it than the rest of us are. The best fantasy players are also likely less reactive to their analytical misses, able to respond and adjust accordingly, while the rest of us are still yelling at ourselves for our misses – or, even worse, blaming players for how they have failed us. The best fantasy players are able to acknowledge their analysis was wrong and quickly begin the process of rebuilding analysis to help moving forward.
