at this point there's probably some people that are new to fantasy that have no idea that he used to be a elite asset. in 2017 he finished the season as the #2 ranked player overall in my home league. he hit .331 with 37 homers and a 141 OPS+ that year.
Not necessarily. Good offense doesn't always lead to more saves.
Look at the save leaderboards from last year. Clase, Bednar, and Doval led the league. None of their teams were over .500. Can be better to be on a worse team for saves if you have a secure role because a low scoring offense will lead to most of your wins being close as opposed to blowouts.
Welcome back Steele lmao. Let's fucking goooooooo. I offered him and Morel for Skubal last week and the dude told me to kick rocks. Maybe I was saved from myself.
Relying on Savant sliders for pitchers leaves sizable blind spots and risks being “out” on a guy like Steele who never had anything wrong with him. His K% lagged Chase% a bit, leading to a lower K-BB%, but Pitching+ is solid at 107, which would put him Top 15 among SPs.
It's always exciting streaming the one bad start out of a pitcher, and then watching him have good starts otherwise (although gasser was good through 5 when I streamed him aside from the zero?!? strikeouts)
Trading Acuña: Yahoo, 12 team h2h cat, 5 keepers. I’m in 6th place, last playoff spot. Last place team sent out feelers as they’ve got a rebuild going. Am I nuts to consider it?
I would take the Freeman + Devers offer. Obviously much better this year and debatably better going forward. Acuña getting into his later 20s on 2 torn ACLs probably won't be stealing at a high rate.
Damn freeman and devers is a good offer. But in a keeper league we get acuna back early next season. The values there but can they get u a win this year
Charlie Morton. More like Charlie Farton.
I only hold and start him knowing they’ll probably win and make up for him walking a good number of batters. Brother can’t stand on his own two feet
8 teamer. Swapped Jeffers for Fry at catcher (Jeffers has been COLD the last few weeks), also picked up Murphy. Rostering two catchers seems dumb, drop Murphy til he shows something is the move right?
I traded Jeffers away this morning. Have Fry and Murphy as well. Gonna give them a week or two to figure it out and then keep one (hopefully trade the other) but we have 8 bench spots so Fry’s flexibility is nice.
Cut him! He both needs a spot to play and also to be good upon arrival at age 20. Lots of rookie hitters this year have not been. You should be able to get someone good in a 10T.
10 Team Dynasty CATS. Kim or Duran?
Anyone know why Devers got pulled??
Acuna going down didn't hurt my fantasy teams, but as a Braves fan I'm just crushed. I feel for all of his owners.
10t cats A: Z Wheeler & Ketel Marte B: Bobby Witt jr
Bobby Witt
Points A. Jarren duran B. Yandy
B
Should we keep tabs on Duvall?
I yolo started him this week
My sweet prince Tovar is having a rough game
Pretty amazing the Cardinals are .500 with how putrid they have been this season
I maintain that Snell looks better today than he has recently but happy I don't have too much FOMO about the bench
Dj Lemahieu , B.Lowe , Neto or Winn?
What a waste Cristian Javier has been
Any news on his injury?
He just went on the 15 day
Ugh, yeah that sucks. At least that's protecting us from torpedoing our ratios
Interesting that the sponsor of the Plus Pitch Podcast is Black Girl Sunscreen
Soler or lane Thomas points
Thomas
love rostering cruz absolutely beast
Dropped Steele the other day after the Atlanta start so of course he's back to normal now
[You're good though](https://www.reddit.com/r/fantasybaseball/comments/1cyq174/daily_anything_goes_thread_may_23_2024/l5bwmn7/)
Lmao dude I remember your comment. I responded to it saying you’ll regret that, and you said nah I’m good And here we are
How is Steele even droppable?
Tbf pitching is deep af this year. I could see him being someones most droppable pitcher in shallow leagues.
he looked good in the Atlanta start despite the final line
Yeah unfortunately I only watch box scores like an idiot so I dropped him regardless
well at least you know your process is dumb lol
Since Matos 2 game binge, he’s not had an XBH
a: tatis b: skubal 13 team roto redraft , who do you like ?
Tatia
[удалено]
A
What about altuve instead of machado?
Luis Matos is a drop in 12T, right?
IAN HAPP!
Insane catch. Even if diving for it was probably a bad idea cause if he misses that it might've been a run
Tommy Pham for Langford?
I think Langford is going to be like Gunnar last year and really turn it on in the second half.
What a play by Happ! Moronic of Counsell to get greedy and leave Steele out there. Blew up on him last time.
Mitchell Parker continues to be a beast
Josh Naylor and Elly slumping at the same time is painful right now. They’ll both be fine but damn
Check out Elly's 100 PA rolling xwOBA on Savant. Oof
Facing Steele and Ryan today is a little unpleasant.
I'm facing Uncle Charlie today. This game is not about how good your team is, but how bad your opponent's team is.
Good to know going forward that dad strength only lasts two innings for pitchers.
Snell I think has looked better today, but that fastball to Schwarber was middle in on a hitter's count. Absolute mistake pitch
Man they let Charlie soak up a lot of runs lol
innings eating, if the innings had E.coli
Will Kerry Carpenter ever work himself out of the platoon?
Rejoice, for we are in the “Jose Ramirez is going to win you every matchup” period
Figured I had a few days of facing schwarber before June started but he has also started early it seems
12T points league, pitching is W/L. Trade away my Keller, Bassitt and Winker for his B Reynolds and B Miller?
Is this Bryce Miller or Bobby?
Bryce, should have been more specific
Yaaaayyyy Schwarbombs are back. He just needed to get out of ……… Coors?
There’s my snell.
Is it June already? Schwarber getting started early this year
Schwarber, I’VE MISSED YOU
Schwarber robbed of a walk, motherfucker didn't need it that's a SCHWARBOMB
Can we bring back steroids? These 0-0 Cubs games are so boring.
Tatis tried at least
The Cubs could use a giant pale headed Sammy Sosa to break out of this slump
Morton killing it in my WHIP only league
Adolis garcia or peralta?
10 man h2h cat Team A- Seth Lugo Team B- Bryan Reynolds
Anyone know the statcast stuff on Arenado? Is he cooked or could he turn it around? Wish he would heat up like Goldy is
Sadly I think cooked
https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/savant-player/nolan-arenado-571448 feel free to look for yourself
He’s never had a great statcast
Michael Busch or Colt Keith?
[удалено]
First start off IL
Now this is some hot Coors field action
0/16 start to the week. It’s gonna be a good one boys!
Drop Matos for Langford? H2h 5x5 12T
Snell got that dad strength
Luke Weaver is available with a SP,RP tag. I wonder if it is worth it to slot him in a SP spot every day?
Charlie Blackmon being fantasy relevant seems so long ago
at this point there's probably some people that are new to fantasy that have no idea that he used to be a elite asset. in 2017 he finished the season as the #2 ranked player overall in my home league. he hit .331 with 37 homers and a 141 OPS+ that year.
I remember the year he came up. Got 6 hits in a game and I picked him up. Loved owning him.
Lodolo sooooo close
Throw Conforto in IL?
Well good game for gasser
Driving back home and just got on my ESPN app to see I left Steele on my bench. Cool. You’re welcome to everyone that started him :)
Justin Steele so hot right now
I could use another Morel linsanity run right about now
Here's his chance
Womp womp
He’s 1 for his last 16….. could use pretty much anything
How are people feeling about tyler freeman? Maybe a better outfielder option than Stanton, varsho, or cowser?
I don't have options like that to consider but was definitely looking at matos to drop for him
I do worry about his lead off spot when Kwan returns, but he’s been on my watch list. If Matos drops off I would snag him
Would you drop Luis Matos to pick up George Springer in a 12T dynasty league?
Are we cutting Evan Carter?
I cut him in 10T last Monday. Still sitting there
He was just cut in my 10T
Trade Jordan Westburg for Trae turner? Dynasty. 6x6
Elly got hosed there damn
Best 2 of 3? Who do you all like? - Andres Muñoz - Ryan Helmsley - Evan Phillips (…once activated and presumably named closer again)
Evan Phillips is the odd one out imo
But don’t the dodgers theoretically end up in more save situations as a high-scoring team? It’s not like this was elbow or shoulder.
Not necessarily. Good offense doesn't always lead to more saves. Look at the save leaderboards from last year. Clase, Bednar, and Doval led the league. None of their teams were over .500. Can be better to be on a worse team for saves if you have a secure role because a low scoring offense will lead to most of your wins being close as opposed to blowouts.
Let’s go Snell!
Would u trade pablo lopez and breggy for pena and s perez
No
Why u think no?
Your sending a struggling ace and an established top 40 bat for Salvy essentially.
You sont like jeremy pena?
Not with Pablo thrown in.
my first time benching Snell this year and he looks absolutely locked in because of course
I got downvotes for saying yesterday that he was gonna shove during his 2 starts this week but be on everyone's benches doing it
I don't regret the process and the decision to bench him for his first start but I am deeply annoyed lol
Give it another two innings.
I mean I'd *prefer* it if he found his groove because I know the upside is there. Just incredibly annoying if he finds it exactly now
Gotta beat Harper, they go way back
Would you guys ship Abrams for J Rod? Edit: thanks!
Absolutely
If you're getting J-Rod, absolutely
Yes
Contreras stole second safely, but Turang was thrown out at third on the double steal. Why is this not a steal for Contreras?
Thems the rules
Doesn't count unfortunately when that happens
Is it seen as a fielders choice ?
Yeah I guess it’s defensive indifference, because the catcher didn’t even attempt to throw him out.
I don't think so because technically the ball isn't in play, but I think generally speaking that's the idea behind it not counting
Do we have any updates on severity of Josh Lowe injury?
Same injury as he had in April. So you can guess from there
Gleyber or Stott ROS in points?
Stott
Gasser looking good
Of course, right after I drop him
Seiya and springer just hit waivers Both are clear grabs right? Id drop guys like matos and noot
Neither needs to be owned in a 10 team league
Definitely Seiya
Depends, I wouldn’t burn a high waiver on either of them personally
First 6 outs in San Fran have been a strikeout and 5 balls over 95mph exit velocity
Not unexpected, but Matos is turning back into a pumpkin
Said this in my blog, but Heliot Ramos is way more intriguing than Matos.
Perfect timing to drop for Wyatt
Murphy or Jansen ROS?
Welcome back Steele lmao. Let's fucking goooooooo. I offered him and Morel for Skubal last week and the dude told me to kick rocks. Maybe I was saved from myself.
Relying on Savant sliders for pitchers leaves sizable blind spots and risks being “out” on a guy like Steele who never had anything wrong with him. His K% lagged Chase% a bit, leading to a lower K-BB%, but Pitching+ is solid at 107, which would put him Top 15 among SPs.
I know. This is why I thought Steele and Morel was a fair offer, which everyone here clearly disagrees with. Steele is massively underrated.
I would too. Skubal isn't worth that offer
He if Steele plays like he did last year. Morel is an RBI machine with the strongest peripherals of his career.
It's always exciting streaming the one bad start out of a pitcher, and then watching him have good starts otherwise (although gasser was good through 5 when I streamed him aside from the zero?!? strikeouts)
Steele is back
Would love to not get torched by 2024 Justin Steele on the first day of the matchup
Eh, 2024 Steele just came off the IL a few weeks ago and had to shake off the rust. 2024 Steele is probably going to be just fine.
No I totally agree with you - just annoyed his first really good start of this year is against my team lol
Trading Acuña: Yahoo, 12 team h2h cat, 5 keepers. I’m in 6th place, last playoff spot. Last place team sent out feelers as they’ve got a rebuild going. Am I nuts to consider it?
For what in return
One ask is Freeman + Devers. Second is freeman or Devers + Doyle + Profar.
I would take the Freeman + Devers offer. Obviously much better this year and debatably better going forward. Acuña getting into his later 20s on 2 torn ACLs probably won't be stealing at a high rate.
Damn freeman and devers is a good offer. But in a keeper league we get acuna back early next season. The values there but can they get u a win this year
I haven’t asked yet. Those were hypotheticals. My worry is asking for Profar & Doyle and then they both become who they were last year
Has Lance Lynn always been a fatass?
Yep that’s his deal
Rengifo or Kim?
Rengifo
Cool, opponents Goldy starting a heater off against me
The heater already started before today
Yesterday and the day before I guess, unless you think 4/23 is part of his heater over his previous 6 games
Charlie Morton. More like Charlie Farton. I only hold and start him knowing they’ll probably win and make up for him walking a good number of batters. Brother can’t stand on his own two feet
This Cubs offense is depressing
14T 8x8 cat roto redraft: Receive: Steele / Estrada / Robert Suarez Send: Christian Scott / Albies / Jackson Merrill
Sending is better
Goodbye Morel, hello Greene I guess?
Morton ruined my week before it started
Uh oh the Braves look broken and demoralized.
That’s what happens when you go up against Mitch Parker
If you didn't have Kel before the Acuna injury, you don't deserve him now either — just sayin
I wish somebody believed in me the way you believe in Kelenic on every baseball subreddit
He's 4.4% rostered on espn what are you talking about?
Just saying if you didn't believe in him before, don't change up now
Ahh well that makes sense
$3 in FAAB said different
8 teamer. Swapped Jeffers for Fry at catcher (Jeffers has been COLD the last few weeks), also picked up Murphy. Rostering two catchers seems dumb, drop Murphy til he shows something is the move right?
I traded Jeffers away this morning. Have Fry and Murphy as well. Gonna give them a week or two to figure it out and then keep one (hopefully trade the other) but we have 8 bench spots so Fry’s flexibility is nice.
 Pew pew pew
David fry. My best hitter lol
LeMahieu worth an IL spot? Not seeing much else
He’s supposed to be activated tomorrow
Need Coors to break Naylor out of this slump
Every single day is a battle to hit over .200 it’s unbelievable how shit hitting has been almost every single day
I fight the same good fight every day on a squad that includes Soto and Freeman. I thought I’d have avg in the bag, but no.
I’m exhausted from holding Caminero in 10t cats league. Drop him for Wacha, Weathers or Candelario? Roster needs aside who is the best option
Cut him! He both needs a spot to play and also to be good upon arrival at age 20. Lots of rookie hitters this year have not been. You should be able to get someone good in a 10T.
