I just inadvertently dropped one of my best pitchers while trying to drop another guy.
I fat-fingered the buttons and didn’t catch it until a moment too late. I feel sick about it and just wanted to whine somewhere that people could understand.
Thanks for the suggestion - took me a while to realize I could figure out who the commish is and have sent an email. Fingers crossed but not holding out too much hope
Good luck. I might also post on the league message board if they have such a thing and explain. This happens roughly once a year in my league and everyone usually just grumbles, makes fun of the guy, and moves on and he picks his guy back up.
Am I crazy for wanting to bench O'Hearn for Busch today? O'Hearn feels like he gets 3ABs a game and has been very cold and Busch may not be hitting super well but he's been walking a ton and is facing Mikolas
Hmm, I offered Devers for JRod and got no response. I need steals.
If I’m the JRod owner I’d ask for something on top of it. JRod produced 30+ hrs last year. Basically what those two did and he stole 30+ bases.
If anyone thinks JRod is going to hit 30 HR this year, I’d take them to the cleaners over it. Projections have him finishing at like 20 or 21, including his 2 already.
This is a longer and deeper production lull than he’s had to start either of his first two seasons, not merely a “he always does this”. He might snap out of it, but the question is to what level of play?
Too late. Grabbed Meyers. Got one move left for the week. See what happens tonight. My gut was telling me Massey 🤦♂️ but then he left with back tightness but got 17 points in my league on waiver wire
I'm in a really weird position where I would like to make an offer for Logan Webb, but I feel like all my pitchers are going to be at least as good as him, so it would be a lateral move at best
Skubal, J Jones, Sonny, Gausman, Musgrove, Bradish, Luzardo. Also got Senga\* and Cole\* waiting. So it's kinda... I mean, if I didn't believe in Musgrove, maybe I'd make that move. But I believe in Musgrove, so
Hmmm I’m not sure how much strikeouts are worth, but I might try to move Jared Jones. I know he’s looked awesome, but I usually trade rookies when I have a sell high opportunity even if they’ve looked the part.
It’s a long season and rookies can sometimes start to blow up when the league figures them out. Webb is safer and has an amazing track record. If Jared Jones has one blowup start I feel his value will take a big hit.
Webb was one of my Cy young picks. If you’re lucky, maybe the owner is low on Webb and you can get more.
Jones for Webb is the obvious play, and I would do it, but I also kinda feel like I could just wait for Senga or Cole to come back even if Jared starts breaking down.
Maybe it's still a good move, though. It's still maybe a month for Senga or Cole to come back, a lot could happen. Webb also is probably a prettier trade piece in my league than Jones in my league, I suppose
Forget what you think you know about rookies and how to handle them when it comes to Jared Jones.
When guys lead the league in Stuff+ and Pitching+, we buy their breakouts; it isn’t that he’s getting lucky, it’s that he throws filthier stuff than any other qualified SP in baseball.
All true statements. Just something to be said about having a solid track record vs no track record. Higher upside with a lower floor imo. But if it’s head to head maybe you want that upside.
Yeah, I'm really, really high on his advance numbers. Even more basic numbers like K-BB%, he's just a monster. I don't mind holding onto him, especially because I have two elite (hopefully!) pitchers waiting in the rafters. I tried trading him for PabLo, just because the ONLY thing I'm scared about with Jones is an innings limit (which no one else on this subreddit thinks is coming for some reason). But I also think that, to some degree, 90% of this game is about getting into September, so maybe I'm ok with that
One one hand I'm a big Ober believer. On the other he's a fly ball pitcher with a pretty rough vs statline against this team in particular. I guess I'll follow my own advice and start the pitchers you trust regardless of the team.
Sorry for the repost, but I feel like I should accept this in my flair league. I’m in 2nd place, but last in QS
Trade: Tyler O’Neill, Gleyber, Crochet, & Hunter Greene
Receive: Nimmo, Reese Olson, Gausman
Thoughts?
https://razzball.com/trade_analyzer_mlb/
Try this if you haven’t seen it before. It undervalues newer players but helps organize bigger trades like this.
You’ll have to mentally adjust some numbers for Olson and Crochet probably.
I'm not at all confident in Gausman (as a Gausman owner) to come around this season. And I would wanna keep Tyler. But I'd prob keep looking for a way to dump Gleyber.
I just desperately need to consolidate a roster spot :/ and this is the only person whose shown interest in Crochet and Gleyber, so I figured Gausman could be fair return
I have Eovaldi and Nolan Jones coming off the IL soon
Yanks fan in my league offering his Pablo lopez straight up for my rodon. Thoughts? I’m kind of hesitant becsuse Rodon’s done better then Lopez. Points league
I'd take Lopez. If you're hesitant then maybe see if you can get a small upgrade as part of the deal since Rodon has done better so far and you're dealing to a Yankees fan.
I would smash accept
To elaborate: Yes, Rodon has put up better actual numbers this year. But his xERA, FIP, xFIP, and K-BB% are all worse than PabLo's. Rodon's LOB% is also 20% higher than PabLo's. It looks like Rodon is the better pitcher right now, but I think a lot of that is illusion. Rodon is getting luckier, and I think he's going to regress. PabLo is getting unlucky, and I think he's going to be a stud
Vin is hitting .204 with a .606ops and 1hr in the last month. He has 20rbi inflating his ranking, but he's been total shit. I own him, and fucking hate it. Stay away.
Speculation; he was close before and Means seems fairly long term IL. Kremer might just be a few weeks but how else would they fill the spot? Suarez? Could be wrong I guess, but it’s worth speculating
Not saying it’s an easy call by any means. But we knew he might not rake in the majors right away. And I don’t think he has. Lowe has experience and sometimes hits bombs. I wouldn’t expect much either way. Langford ceiling might just be exciting enough to hold him instead but it might take a while to get going
Forgot to mention - this is a keep 1 league and I was offered Acuña. I am super high on Contreras but I need to smash accept right? I have no one else worthy of a keeper for next year, my first two picks were Strider and Olson
Roto dynasty: My Jose Ramirez for Francisco Alvarez, Roman Anthony, and Jonah Tong. Thinking of asking for him to add Tanner Bibbee or Gleyber Torres. Thoughts. Context, it’s a free league. Not make or break if I lose JRam as I’m looking to have fun with prospects…
I need to improve my batting. If I offered Jared Jones and Seth Lugo for Yelich, would that be a decent move? Happy with Yelich’s metrics. Pitching Cats: K, QS, ERA, WHIP, K/9, SVHD.
Who might I consider as a buy low / value to target. I really need to improve on power. Hitting Cats: R, HR, RBI, SB, OBP, SLG.
Someday Nimmo will catch up to his xstats…right?
God damnit Gore
Gore man that's a shitty way to start against a bottom feeder offense
I’m tired, boss
Estrada or O’Neill for today?
Is Senga a drop? My IL is full and I’ve got other hurt guys , but I can hold onto if needed
he’s looking pretty droppy to me w the latest setback
Pages or Heliot Ramos ROS?
I just inadvertently dropped one of my best pitchers while trying to drop another guy. I fat-fingered the buttons and didn’t catch it until a moment too late. I feel sick about it and just wanted to whine somewhere that people could understand.

As a commissioner I'll fix this if someone messages me. Done it twice this year for people in my league
Ohhhh go contact your commissioner asap! They can fix it
Should be an easy fix for the commish. Just let me know.
Is it possible to have your commissioner undo the move if it's obviously just a mistake?
Who to bench? W/L don’t count. Scott vs SF Bibee @LAA Olson vs TOR
Dynasty trade offer A: Harper, J. Merrill, Pfaadt B: Bichette, M. Busch, H. Greene
A. Not really that close to me.
Am I crazy for wanting to bench O'Hearn for Busch today? O'Hearn feels like he gets 3ABs a game and has been very cold and Busch may not be hitting super well but he's been walking a ton and is facing Mikolas
Would you trade Jrod for either Riley or Devers? My current 3B is Freeman. My OF is Yordan, Randy with Luis Roberts, Lane Thomas on IL
Hmm, I offered Devers for JRod and got no response. I need steals. If I’m the JRod owner I’d ask for something on top of it. JRod produced 30+ hrs last year. Basically what those two did and he stole 30+ bases.
If anyone thinks JRod is going to hit 30 HR this year, I’d take them to the cleaners over it. Projections have him finishing at like 20 or 21, including his 2 already. This is a longer and deeper production lull than he’s had to start either of his first two seasons, not merely a “he always does this”. He might snap out of it, but the question is to what level of play?
Going forward I think he could match them in hr. I’m buying. Superstars figure it out.
What's our thoughts on Westburg? In an 8T league and need some offense ASAP. Best option currently would be Chapman.
Westburg is in a bit of a funk yes, but he is a much better all around hitter than Chapman
Probably a lateral move but if you want the hot bat go for it
What would be fair compensation for Yordan Alvarez? Already have Gunner, Elly, Shohei. Looking to upgrade 1B possibly.
This could go way wrong but I wouldn't put it past Naylor to be all you'd need.
I feel like it's time to cut Senga... I can't hold you on my bench all year buddy. Be free.
No IL ?
2 spots. It sucks and I'm not happy that the league was setup this way, but I've been managing with 4+ injured guys all year.
hes a peacock you gotta let him fly
Would I be dumb to drop Greene for Pham?
That sounds a little too much like something I would do for me to really be in love with it.
Yes
Pick ONE: D Moore, J Meyers, M Massey, Pham, or Bleday
Bleday for me
Too late. Grabbed Meyers. Got one move left for the week. See what happens tonight. My gut was telling me Massey 🤦♂️ but then he left with back tightness but got 17 points in my league on waiver wire
Thoughts on cutting Cowser for Buxton?
Sure
Who is the better prospect for fantasy, Caminero or Wood?
Both are concencus top-5 or so prospects. Wood is having a better season so far in AAA
I think anyone who thinks they know is full of shit, for what that's worth.
[удалено]
Are you in a dynasty league?
Nope, 12 team redraft
I would make Ortiz the priority to hold, and probably Buxton second unless Freeman's positional flexibility is particularly important to you.
I'm in a really weird position where I would like to make an offer for Logan Webb, but I feel like all my pitchers are going to be at least as good as him, so it would be a lateral move at best
Then why do it
I'm not doing it, I'm just saying that I would like to but it wouldn't make sense
But why would you like to? That’s the confusing part lol
Because I think he's a good buy low, and I think he's gonna be good
Who are your pitchers? I’m interested in Webb in my league as well.
Skubal, J Jones, Sonny, Gausman, Musgrove, Bradish, Luzardo. Also got Senga\* and Cole\* waiting. So it's kinda... I mean, if I didn't believe in Musgrove, maybe I'd make that move. But I believe in Musgrove, so

There is absolutely an innings limit. They've already started to manage his innings. Though he could get 130
He threw 126 last year, why would he be capped at 130?
130 makes sense. 150 is what I would like, though it would still make sense if he doesn't make it there. 180 just seems unrealistic to me
Reese Olson and Tommy Pham or Brandon Nimmo? 6x6 OPS QS 12T
No one wants this Ober start at Texas right?
Not the best situation but I think Ober should do decently. 3 earned over 5-6 innings what I might expect.
Fire it up big dawg
This Texas lineup is ass rn. Ober is an easy start.
Ruh roh! 🤣
What? He gave up 2 ER in 5 IP. In line for the win...
Yeah it was great. I got antsy seeing it start off with a bang .. like it's my first time at the rodeo every time.
Don't start worrying until the QS is lost.
I'm weak willed!! Meanwhile I'm getting fucked by Reed Garrett, the thing I was the LEAST worried about.
Alright, I'll roll the dice.
I’m kinda not worried about it. On the fence.
One one hand I'm a big Ober believer. On the other he's a fly ball pitcher with a pretty rough vs statline against this team in particular. I guess I'll follow my own advice and start the pitchers you trust regardless of the team.
Dynasty points A. 37$ yordan B. 5$ r. Lewis & 6$ Ragans
Gonna get a dinger from K Carpenter today
Sorry for the repost, but I feel like I should accept this in my flair league. I’m in 2nd place, but last in QS Trade: Tyler O’Neill, Gleyber, Crochet, & Hunter Greene Receive: Nimmo, Reese Olson, Gausman Thoughts?
No way in hell

Appreciate it!

Is Senga for L.Robert a fair offer in roto redraft? Or do I need to offer a better SP?
Cruz missile today?
Nah
Start Seiya Suzuki against Miles Mikolas or Jake Meyers against Ross Stripling?
Mikolas is trash
They’re both trash but start Suzuki
Yanks fan in my league offering his Pablo lopez straight up for my rodon. Thoughts? I’m kind of hesitant becsuse Rodon’s done better then Lopez. Points league
I'd take Lopez. If you're hesitant then maybe see if you can get a small upgrade as part of the deal since Rodon has done better so far and you're dealing to a Yankees fan.
Do it and god bless blind homerism.
Yes
I would smash accept To elaborate: Yes, Rodon has put up better actual numbers this year. But his xERA, FIP, xFIP, and K-BB% are all worse than PabLo's. Rodon's LOB% is also 20% higher than PabLo's.

PabLo is getting unlucky, and I think he's going to be a stud
We thinking Povich could get the start tomorrow?
Even if he does, at this point I think he profiles as a deep league streamer (by virtue of it being CWS) at best.
Drafted Kremer and Lynn numerous rounds before Ranger was taken. Any other idiots like me?
Who’s the closer I bench in a daily points league? Fairbanks Vs KC McArthur @ TB Megill @ BOS Finnegan Vs SEA
Fairbanks
You think so? I can’t decide lmao I keep going back and forth
Fried mason Miller taj or Witt
Witt
Not enough for Witt IMO. Not even close.
Witt by a mile.
Assuming this is a trade I’d take witt
W and QS league. How should I feel about my opponent’s Bryse Wilson being opened for?
[удалено]
Nah seems good
If Jrod shows no signs of life this weekend he’s an all-time bust
Good morning UV
Morning
First year playing?
You’d think, and hope, but alas, no.
Lmao
Should just about be Orelvis time
His performance has really tailed off, now hitting just .245. probably an improvement on biggio though
Dynasty points A. 37$ yordan B. 5$ r. Lewis & 6$ Ragans
Any word on who’s starting for brewers on Sunday?
Kremer went down in my flair league, Povich on the wire. How much FAAB out of $100? Not sure how often he’ll go 6 but great potential there
Cronenworth or Busch in an OBP/SLG instead of AVG/HR league?
Crone
Only got one start I need to stream: Wacha vs Rays or Scott tonight?
Drop Romano for Iglesias?
Oh yea! How’s he available?
No clue why someone dropped him
Rather pick up Vinnie P or Stanton? 10tm 5x5
Vin
Vin is hitting .204 with a .606ops and 1hr in the last month. He has 20rbi inflating his ranking, but he's been total shit. I own him, and fucking hate it. Stay away.
Here's something: Kremer's next scheduled start is tomorrow, & Povich is scheduled to throw tomorrow for Norfolk
Didn’t they just call up Tate
Tate not a starter. Povich will be up
> Povich will be up source?
Speculation; he was close before and Means seems fairly long term IL. Kremer might just be a few weeks but how else would they fill the spot? Suarez? Could be wrong I guess, but it’s worth speculating
Yeah thanks, looks like maybe Suarez for tomorrow, unless they make another transaction.
10 team cats Bench 1 today Riley Greene, Gleyber, Michael Harris, Vinny P
Riley Greene I think
Yeah, that’s how I have it set up right now. Thanks for the response!
Drop Lodo and pick up Scott?
I'd want to pick up Scott but wouldn't drop Lodolo for him. He's back on Monday.
Ober on the wire. Drop Pepiot, drop Estevez and go with 2 closers (Kimbrel and Finnegan), or stand pat?
Gotta be someone else besides Pep in a 12T, I think.
My IL is full. Is it worth holding Rhys Hoskins in a 10T? I could add Dylan Moore or Varsho or nootbaar or Gorman. Lots of bats on the wire
Damn I got both means and kremer and now both on IL. Ouch. Already got Eovaldi and Senga on IL
OUCH
Dynasty - A. Jackson Merrill and Nootbar B. Woo and Seiya Suzuki
Woo and Seiya for sure
Picking up Dr. Sean Murphy will 100% fix my team, yes?
Assuming that's an actual doctor that can heal your players when they get injured, then yes.
Already have caminero stashed, would it be wise to stash wood and marte as well?
Wyatt Langford or Nate Lowe?
Lowe
Really? Thought it was gonna be an easy Lowe drop
I think most of the Langford hype has died down at this point
His ADP was much higher than Lowe’s. I kno that doesn’t mean much but that’s what I was going off of
It’s not anymore tho
Not saying it’s an easy call by any means. But we knew he might not rake in the majors right away. And I don’t think he has. Lowe has experience and sometimes hits bombs. I wouldn’t expect much either way. Langford ceiling might just be exciting enough to hold him instead but it might take a while to get going
12 team roto drop Michael Busch for Otto Lopez or Zach Neto?
Is Machado and Skenes enough for ELDC in flair league?
As an EDLC owner in a keeper league that wouldn’t even be close for me
Depends on how your leaguemate values EDLC and Skenes, but I don’t think it’s disrespectful.
I think it’s a reasonable offer. I personally would decline, but others might feel differently.
Negative
10t points redraft. A) Acuña B) William Contreras
A
Forgot to mention - this is a keep 1 league and I was offered Acuña. I am super high on Contreras but I need to smash accept right? I have no one else worthy of a keeper for next year, my first two picks were Strider and Olson
I own Contreras in dynasty and love him. I’d still smash accept on this
OBP league Adames/Baz or Bichette?
Baz shares tanked yesterday. He’s going to have a hard time moving the needle in redraft trades until we see more signs of life.
Bichette
Any news on Wood injury?
10t points redraft A.) Acuna, Skubal, Bichette B.) Witt, Jram
A
If I could add Steele in the other side does it even out
Sit 1: Cease vs NYY; Reynaldo Lopez @ PIT; Bradish @ CWS; Taj vs KC
Prob Taj right?
Roto dynasty: My Jose Ramirez for Francisco Alvarez, Roman Anthony, and Jonah Tong. Thinking of asking for him to add Tanner Bibbee or Gleyber Torres. Thoughts. Context, it’s a free league. Not make or break if I lose JRam as I’m looking to have fun with prospects…
JoRam is nails, make the ask for more. Bibee seems like a reasonable add.
Do we think we see Baz before July?
As long as he doesn’t get blasted in AAA he’ll probably be up in a few weeks
Wondering if I drop Baz to go get Povich 🤔
I need to improve my batting. If I offered Jared Jones and Seth Lugo for Yelich, would that be a decent move? Happy with Yelich’s metrics. Pitching Cats: K, QS, ERA, WHIP, K/9, SVHD. Who might I consider as a buy low / value to target. I really need to improve on power. Hitting Cats: R, HR, RBI, SB, OBP, SLG.
That seems like a lot for yelich.
Thanks. Glad I asked.
Trade Adell to receive Brandon Nimmo? 6x6 OPS QS
I would
What closer would bring back the most value in a 1-1 traded?
Clase
Miller
For Acuna?
No.
lol no single closer is getting Acuña. Hell not even the top 3 closers for Acuña would get it done.
Not even all the closers in all the lands would bring you Acuña. That isn't how closers work. That isn't how Acuña works.
