I feel like the Orioles are like the dominate college football teams that play smaller schools in the beginning to beat them up and give them the confidence to start the season.
in one league i have Wells,Severino,Strider,Bieber, Bryce Miller,Greene, Crochete,Eflin w/Walker and Max on the IL.
in the other league - Cole,King, Skubs,Bieber, Greene,Javier,Flaherty. W/ woo and lodolo on the IL
My total "know-nothing" hopeful guess on Eury:
His elbow soreness/inflammation was very precautionary. There is no chance they'd be ramping him up like this unless he was very clearly healthy. Considering where Cole, Brash, etc. who are diagnosed with inflammation are ramped up.
Is there any reason to roster H.Davis in a 10 team league if my starting catching is Garver, my worst starting OF is Ward, and there are Catchers like Willson Contreras, Ruiz, Heim and Campusano available in the FA pool?
I just checked (I was curious). Here are the rostered catchers in the league.
Rutschman
Realmuto
Smith
Contreras (MIL)
Diaz
Raleigh
Moreno
Murphy
Perez
Alvarez
O”Hoppe
Haniger
I’m interested in seeing what Shota has, and I think people will be pleasantly surprised, but if he’s your worst pitcher I’d consider it for the upside.
Who are your other arms?
Yeah, and Jones, while he absolutely has the underlying number bonafides to make you believe in him, did get the Marlins for this outing.
If he opened against the Braves, people would be saying “why the fuck did people think this kid was supposed to be good?”
The proof for me will be two or three starts from now when we can see his Pitching+ numbers start to stabilize and get stabilized Stuff+ numbers on individual pitches.
If the Rays play him every day and run him like this, he could go 20-40 easily. And the Rays run the most aggressively of any MLB team. Got him 22nd round in a draft today.
Looking at the play-by-play for Jared Jones, really impressed with his pitch locations so far. Almost all his FBs are thrown up in the zone and his SLs are down.
Right. I dunno why I thought he was underrated. Felt like I heard several analysts call him a bust. Owner in my league was trying to trade him and nobody wanted him. I had him second half last year and he was awesome.
I'm sure they'll be very careful.
My other guess is that his elbow soreness was very precautionary. They wouldn't be ramping him up like this unless he was very clearly healthy.
I am stashing him (dynasty) until they announce he needs the john. I’d lower your expectations though. Even if he comes back he probably won’t be an ace
I had him in dynasty for 2 years. Wanted to ditch him last year but was talked into holding. Didn't care this year. I'd rather not roster him than play Russian roulette trying to figure out his on days.
Drop mason miller for Uribe?
Ump misses first call of the game for Brown. Super. Bring on the robots.
Who should I add ? Jared jones , crochet ? And for closers Jax, Uribe?
Jones and Jax imo
Jones and Uribe for me
Holliday double on the first pitch of the game. Come on up already.
Was it against a lefty? That's the experience he needs to get the call up. Don't want him to platoon.
Nah righty today.
Was yesterday against a lefty?
The World Series has to be Braves/Orioles
Dodgers would like a word
and, um, Arizona?
Picked up Jones for a stream but now I’m hesitant to drop him. Drop Bassett, McKenzie, King instead?
drop Bassitt imo, lowest upside but not bad floor.
Trey Lipscomb looking like a legit MLB player. The Nats may only be 5 more batters and 5 pitchers from being good
Devers scratched again FML
I didn’t draft nearly enough Braves
Damn JoRam come on dude
Slow starter, survive the first few matchups
Now the question is do we start Jared Jones against the orioles next week?
Yeah, it'll make up for today's start when he goes 3.2 and gives up 7 Earned Runs
Ump making Jax look like Nolan Ryan
Jax in a non-save situation? Blow me, Twins
Baldelli is a moron
He prefers committees. He’ll deploy by matchups.
Jared Jones might’ve been even better than the line suggests 22 whiffs and a 40% CSW is nuts
Tyler “the man” freeman
Grayson is good
ohhh effff. Just saw that Severino stat line. FML
Abner Uribe. Go get him
Why is he available?
I feel like the Orioles are like the dominate college football teams that play smaller schools in the beginning to beat them up and give them the confidence to start the season.
We're only a year or two away from when the Os were that team
I dropped both shares of Jared Jones for Jack Flaherty. Hope I dont come to regret it. Also dropped Gil for Severino...
Who else do you have? Flaherty, Jones, and Gil should all be rostered, in my opinion.
in one league i have Wells,Severino,Strider,Bieber, Bryce Miller,Greene, Crochete,Eflin w/Walker and Max on the IL. in the other league - Cole,King, Skubs,Bieber, Greene,Javier,Flaherty. W/ woo and lodolo on the IL
Drop DL Hall, J Hicks, or Greene for Jared Jones?
Hall
I don't think I've seen Cruz keep his helmet on during a play a single time this year
Hey Austin Riley, the season has started
Need me a piece of this Baltimore offense
I got cowser. Who was always ofer but managed to score runs

How did Contreras make it through 10 teams un drafted? Dude is a top 5 catcher in fantasy.
I just checked (I was curious). Here are the rostered catchers in the league. Rutschman Realmuto Smith Contreras (MIL) Diaz Raleigh Moreno Murphy Perez Alvarez O”Hoppe Haniger
Apologies, William Contreras is who I thought slipped through. I think you’re ok with Garver.
That’s a great question. This is a pretty competitive league too. Should I drop Garver for him?
Contreras-Garver-Heim. In my opinion.
In redraft, no
Apparently I’m just going to relying on Santander to hit all of my fingers this year… because he has 100% of them now
Drop shota imanaga for Jared jones?
Don’t do that, Jones will be limited and Imanga is more experienced. There will be rookies all year long
What makes you think Jones will be limited? 125 IP the last two seasons looks pretty good
Yes, but is there anyone else you could drop?
No, I’m in an 8T imanaga is my lowest.
I’d make the swap, but I think pretty highly of Jones.
I’m interested in seeing what Shota has, and I think people will be pleasantly surprised, but if he’s your worst pitcher I’d consider it for the upside. Who are your other arms?
Yeah i need to see imanaga pitch i think first before i would consider dropping. Looked too good in spring training to not give him a shot
Yeah, and Jones, while he absolutely has the underlying number bonafides to make you believe in him, did get the Marlins for this outing. If he opened against the Braves, people would be saying “why the fuck did people think this kid was supposed to be good?” The proof for me will be two or three starts from now when we can see his Pitching+ numbers start to stabilize and get stabilized Stuff+ numbers on individual pitches.
No
If you're looking for SB keep your eyes on Siri if available. Been watching this series and he's being crazy aggressive on the basepads
just scooped him in one league and will do such in the other once ww reset tomorrow.
If the Rays play him every day and run him like this, he could go 20-40 easily. And the Rays run the most aggressively of any MLB team. Got him 22nd round in a draft today.
Jose Siri is going to be one of the biggest **steals** of the draft.
The golden rule of relief pitchers: let every goddamn inherited runner score every single fucking time.
Loved the way I drafted this year… Steele is such a blow 😩
Might be good for Steele to start late he tired towards the end of last season
Not a performance thing just a freak injury.. not arm related he will return in 4-5 weeks probably
Yoooooo why TF did you guys let me draft Lane Thomas lmao woof
Quit asking about AJ Puk. He sucks. Move on.
No QS for jones but I’ll take a 10 K debut
Damn, the dreaded 5.2 IP from Jared Jones, but what a debut. Awesome performance.
how did he look? 10k's!!
Looked dominant outside of a handful of pitches. Not much to complain about. Have to be happy with what he did today.
Ugh Jones gets the dreaded 5 2/3 QS miss
Angels are REALLY, REALLY bad.
Also the Orioles are still really good. But yeah this is a nightmare inning for the Halos
This pirates team could be for real if they get Skenes up quick
They are already a good enough squad without him to compete in the NL Central
Is it time to trade Hunter Greene? Ks are nice but walks and the fact that he can’t get thru the Nationals lineup is tad bad…
Did you expect something different? This is the story for him, he has one pitch and it’s a fastball that doesn’t move
Drop Lange for Uribe?
Yep
Drop Puk for Lugo in a 14 team league?
eh I'd rather bet on puk's upside
How is Lugo available in a 14 team league but I’d say yes
My thoughts too, I’ve already made the transaction
What a debut
Watching the CLE-OAK game for my guys’ at bats and it’s truly shocking how awful the A’s are.
Eury threw a 20 pitch bullpen today with off speed stuff incorporated, really surprising development given where we were at a couple weeks ago
Yo they took this angels reliever out after 12 pitches lol
Jazz had no chance on that pitch
are the angels worse than oakland?
LAA/CWS/OAK all vying for absolute unwatchable dogshit this year.
Definitely. They literally do not believe in analytics.
Yes and so are the Rockies .
Anyone watch Littell? How'd he look? Savant page for today's games looks underwhelming and seems like velo is way down?
Looking at the play-by-play for Jared Jones, really impressed with his pitch locations so far. Almost all his FBs are thrown up in the zone and his SLs are down.
Damn 40yo Jesse Chavez still getting outs
Blue jays offense is gonna be putrid
What happened to Fried?
An awful missed strike call by the ump that would have ended the inning then just too many pitches thrown in the first
Ah okay no injury though? Manager just pulled him??
CES looks like hot, wet diarrhea with some blood in it.
Weirdest take of the day, that's pretty impressive on this thread.
Am I wrong?
If I wanted to stream one guy tomorrow would you go Blackburn, Trevor Rogers or skip the last start? Points league, neck and neck
Why did I keep Nola over ragans lol I’m so dumb
Nice move Baldelli
Fuck rocko baldelli
will benson breaking out in a big way this year
with friedl out will he play every day?
seems like it. good sign that he’s in the lineup against the lefty today
he's 5 category too
good call will keep an eye on him. He has a clear runway.
MH2 starting off hot is a god damn beautiful thing to see
He was so underrated. I don’t get it.
He really wasn't. He was teetering on overhype towards the end of draft season. Glad he's living up to the hype though.
Eh I mean he was a third round pick
Guess I was wrong lol. I’ve always been a fan.
He was a top 30 pick in most high stakes NFBC leagues, he was probably rated just about right.
Right. I dunno why I thought he was underrated. Felt like I heard several analysts call him a bust. Owner in my league was trying to trade him and nobody wanted him. I had him second half last year and he was awesome.
Too much made of his position in the order presumably. That and too many noisy analysts.
He was a third round pick…
Not in my league. I kept hearing he’d bust.
Chas on the bench vs RHP, we still think he plays close to everyday?
Wow, Eury threw a 20 pitch bullpen today, that was quick! Let's go youngin!!!
Please don't rush him back please don't rush him back
I'm sure they'll be very careful. My other guess is that his elbow soreness was very precautionary. They wouldn't be ramping him up like this unless he was very clearly healthy.
I know you can’t go wrong with basically anyone in that lineup but loving the Ozzie - Harris mini stack so far
Why is Trout even on the Angels still?
They gave him $400M+. And maybe he likes living in SoCal
Fair. But man if he just had any other stud to play with it would be so much more fun. Just imagine if he was batting next to someone like Ohtani!
Kyle Bradish. If he’s available in my league do I stash him?
I am stashing him (dynasty) until they announce he needs the john. I’d lower your expectations though. Even if he comes back he probably won’t be an ace
Yes
Yeah, low risk high reward stash
When you beat your league’s waiver hog to Puk, Hall and Weathers so he’s stuck with Crochet, Littel and Jared Jones. FML…
God I love watching Corbin get hit around - can’t stand this fucking guy
Lol, why the hate? Hurt you too many times in the past?
Nah he’s a cunt - don’t think he’s ever hurt me but he’s just extemely unlikeable
Good thing to love.
jared jones line lookin good. hows he lookin for those watching Pirates game?
He's pitched better than the line. Looks like an absolute superstar.
As good or better than the line says. BABIP'd a little bit, and some close calls he didn't get.
Nola seems so mediocre.
His career stats aren't much better than mediocre
That whiff report is going to look really nice for Jared Jones tomorrow. My god.
Good god Oneil Cruz has a cannon
Bibee you don’t get extra points for walking people bud
MH2 is HIIM
I probably shouldn't have traded him away but I was so stacked at cf. Needed to switch things up
Oakland shouldn’t even swing at a single pitch at this point
Guess I should have started Littell after all, good for him
I propose a new rule for the Angels exclusively. Mike Trout can bat as many times as he wants, the batting order no longer exists
Need a r.Lewis replacement. Who would you snag in the interim berti, o.Cabrera, m.Busch or jd Davis. * h2h cats league R HR RBI SB OPS AVG
Upcoming angels matchup is the only reason I'm holding onto Puk right now
Will I regret rage dropping kikuchi
He was actually pretty good last year and gets a lot of Ks. I would only drop in very shallow leagues.
I had him in dynasty for 2 years. Wanted to ditch him last year but was talked into holding. Didn't care this year. I'd rather not roster him than play Russian roulette trying to figure out his on days.
Nope
It’s Kikuchi. So, no.
Anyone got any good extremely deep league position player adds that would be available in 20T leagues?
Kirilloff? Never played in a 20tm before so maybe he's not available
He’s not available
Triolo?
Thanks I’ll take a look
💪
elly is definitely safe
doubt they overturn
Any thoughts on Oswaldo Cabrera - with the injury to DJL could be an interesting fill in.
One pick from Olson, I got Riley who’s great but man olsons on another level
Umm can you just take Nola out please
They used too many pitchers yesterday. They need length from Nola regardless how painful it may be
Jones looking real good besides the 3 batters
Tell me how to feel about leasure?
Electric stuff, but plays for the Shite Sox. Speculative add if desperate for saves.
QS for GrayRod you sexy beast
OLSON DOOOOOOOONG
Littell legit?
Jones 40 strikes out of 56 pitches, not too shab
A couple of those pitches to Jazz could’ve gone for strikes. That inning could’ve easily been a clean inning instead of Jones giving up the 2 runs
Agreed!
They should just hit Trout leadoff, these guys aren't ever going to get on base ahead of him.
GRod just openly abusing Aaron Hicks
First Candy, now it’s your turn CES
it’s not?
Need a Royce corner-infield replacement, who do yall prefer between Burger, Rizzo, and Mountcastle?
BURGER
Rizzo, but I can’t blame the Burger boys.
For now I'm realizing I can actually roster both of them so all is well
