How about that trade deadline? It didn’t feel like we had any true “blockbusters,” but seeing half of the relievers in baseball get moved was a fascinating development. I don’t believe I’ve ever seen so many bullpen shake-ups at any other deadline, and it’s going to lead to some chaos for the final two months. […]

Streamers
My first article back from the break did a great job with the pitchers, but a disappointing performance from the hitters. That’s naturally the more likely outcome when examining streamers because it’s much easier to predict the arms than the bats. What makes it even easier is that we have some of the worst lineups […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?I think many people look at the All-Star break as a time to recharge their batteries and get ready for the stretch run, but that’s not me. I actually hate when we take a week off because I don’t know what to do with myself. The fiend in me needs that baseball every day because […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?I hate to toot my own horn, but I crushed last week’s article. Grant Holmes, Edward Cabrera and Eric Lauer all threw gems, while the hitters were nothing to complain about. What’s truly remarkable is that this is the final week before the All-Star break. It feels like the season just started two months ago, […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?We had another solid showing last week, but Hayden Birdsong crapped on our car once again. That’s the second time he’s burned me this month, and we just have to let those guys go sometimes. I’m still happy with the results, but this will be a tough week. There weren’t many streamers who stood out […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?I was pretty happy with last week’s streamers. The only real dud was from Hayden Birdsong, but San Fran switched up the matchup on us. That will be a common occurrence from our streamers as the season progresses because these rotations tend to get bonkers throughout the second half of the year. The nonsense shouldn’t […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?After a rough showing two weeks ago, we bounced back last week. Bryce Elder was a terrible pick as one of our streamers, but he was really the only dud in that piece. It’s ironic because it’s the Rockies who got to him, because we’ll keep riding streamers against them for the remainder of the […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?I’ve yet to have a bad showing in any of my articles this season, but last week was a miss. It’s frustrating to have such a weak week of streamers, but it’s inevitable with how volatile these pitchers can be. We have to chalk it up to the Rockies having their best week of the […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?The results have been really solid across the last month, and last week was another good week. Ryan O’Hearn has been magical as one of our streamers over the last few weeks, and he’s finally getting rostered universally. Our biggest goal throughout the season is to stumble into must-roster players like that because the better […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?I can’t complain about the results in Week 8. Most of our starters performed well, and the hitting streamers were also solid. We’re actually going to ride one of the same hitting steamers from last week, and it’s hard to believe some of these guys are still sitting on the waiver wires with how hot […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?After a disappointing article two weeks ago, we bounced back big time last week. We had Nick Martinez and AJ Smith-Shawver pitch some gems as two of our streamers, and two-start guys like Merrill Kelly and Colin Rea didn’t let us down either. The hitting streamers weren’t quite as successful, but the hit rate will […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Last week’s article had some mixed results, but we went with a risky bunch of streamers. That’s more likely to happen at this point of the season because the waiver wires have been picked bone dry. There always tend to be three major spots to thrive on the waiver wire. The opening two weeks are […]
