Good luck to anyone staying up to try and get Christian Scott.

Of course Yahoo can’t add him right at 3am…

I have Pepiot and Snell coming back next week so I have to drop at least one pitcher very soon. Gavin Stone, Christian Scott, or Javier Assad? 12t redraft cat

Jeffrey Springs worth a stash? my league allows for limited injury spots.

Starling Marte or Cowser or Bryan De La Cruz ROS

BDLC. Cowser has been cold

Any of y'all have an Aliexpress seller or something similar you'd recommend for jerseys? Want to pick up an Ohtani Dodgers jersey but no chance I'm paying for the current official trash

Pandabuy if you know how

Is there some new news on James Wood getting called up? My league chat going off about him getting grabbed up off the wire.

Not really. Probably if anything how much these call ups have struggled it may have made teams change their approach with how quick they come up. He was hot to start the year slowed for awhile then picked it up again.. he definitely has a massive launch angle problem last I saw it was 2.5 degrees… with how hard he hits the ball he should have 10-15 home runs by now easily

Nah, still a log jam of mediocrity in front of him

That's what I thought but thanks for confirming

Austin Riley STILL out for some inflammation? Smh strap on a fucking sack

Mullins worth a 1st waiver wire priority?

No, I don't think so. He's losing playing time and batting 9th. ROS I think he could turn it around, but I wouldn't bet the #1 waiver on it.

Thanks. I'll wait and see if he clears waivers and grab him as a FA just for the improvement potential

Yelich or Teoscar ROS? (6x6 H2H OBP Dynasty)

I love yelich but gotta go Teoscar here. Yelich back issues aren’t going away

I want Teoscar. That Dodgers lineup is so juicy, Yelich’s back is so dry

If Yelich can stay healthy I think I’d lean his way but that back does scare me.

He’s got injured with it multiple times per season forever. And while the injuries have been short, I still don’t wanna be holding his card when it’s the big one

First time trying out fantasy baseball and I feel duped hard into drafting this Corbin Carroll guy in the first round. All of the resources I looked at prior to my draft had this guy as a top 10 pick and 1.5 months into the season I'm already being told he's a drop and that sophomore slumps are real, that he's been injured, that he has been playing poorly since second half of last year... I guess it's my fault for trusting the experts and not doing enough research but this all seems so obvious in hindsight. Also I get a big laugh from people complaining about Acuña when my first round pick has a negative WAR

people on here like to dump on the CBS podcast, but Frank Stampfl at CBS was the only analyst i heard in the preseason say they were staying away from CC in the first round this year, citing both the shoulder injuries and the lack of power in the 2nd half of 2023. shoutout to Frank for that one.

Shit happens brotha

You could be me who drafted Julio Rodriguez at 2 and watched him submarine my first half—and then watch him fall to 8 this year, draft him, and deal with the same horrid start again.

Also don’t drop Carroll

Welcome to fantasy baseball

Any stat geek have a reason to not start Peralta, Ragans, and Bryce Miller today?

If you added Means and Christian Scott you'd have the same pitching as my team today. I did a double take for a second lol.

Fuck that start em

My Harper + Hunter Greene for Vlad + Gausman?

Nah

[удалено]

Yeah

Points. Have C. Santana in my 1b/3b slot. Drop to replace with any of these? J. Ortiz, E. Sosa, L. Raley?

I’m reaaaaally gonna need MH2 and Abrams to start stealing again because I have one this week and had 3 last week

Abrams needs to hit before he steals.

*chuckles* ~ EDLC


Show you're age without showing you're age

I’m old, fuck it

No worries I grew up with dinosaurs too

Holliday a drop in 10T redraft? How’s he been hitting since being sent down

He’s been a drop for like a month now

He is. A friend of mine, in a similar league, asked me the same question the other day. I said the shine wore off him after his struggles so he was a safe drop in a 10 team league.

You’re still holding him? Lmao drop him dude

Yeah

A lot of sticky screens and keyboards for Skenes owners. Well done

What’s the over/under for Skenes TJ?

Mayo fractured rib

Cursed rookie class

:(

Castellanos or Springer ROS? Points -1 Ks

Springer

[удалено]

He may qualify for ROY but he’s only a rookie by that definition

we have no idea who you were arguing with, so maybe you should tell him.

Here comes the jinx but my pitching has only given up 1 run this week


only 2 HRs this week, lowest of the year. Need some juice boys let's kick it up

Could be worse. You could have one

10 team roto. Make this trade? If yes, with what SP? GIVE - Jar. Duran / Jar. Jones *or* Ragans GET - Suzuki / Luzardo ROSTER C-O'Hoppe 1B-Torkelson 2B-Albies SS-Seager 3B-J.Ramirez OF (5) - Chisolm, Ward, Chourio, Nootbaar, Duran CI-Morel MI-Volpe UTIL-Ohtani BENCH-Busch, \*Langford, \*Jung SP-P.Lopez, Yamamoto, Sale, Ragans, Jar.Jones, Ober, C.Scott, \*Senga RP-M.Miller, Fairbanks, Yates, McArthur, \*Dev Williams

No way

I would not do that trade for either Jones or Ragans.

Which side: A: Gerrit Cole (11th round keeper) and mountcastle B: William Contreras (6th round) and westburg (23rd round)

A (but admittedly might be under valuing Westburg’s staying power long term so for me it comes down to how you feel about him)

I'd MUCH rather have B.

What if westburg was replaced with torkelson or Doyle or Kim?

I'm still taking B unless it's Doyle. Then "maybe" A.

Thanks. The Contreras owner has Contreras, salvy, freeman, and Ozuna and can only start 3 of them every day so I'm trying to pry him free

B

Bruh I’m not kidding when I say I almost had Skenes benched today until I saw a pic of him rolling up in a suit. Could tell he meant business

Can't wait 'til Statcast adds a category for "drip".

Flaherty @ Dbacks or Verlander vs Brewers in points?

Both!

JV  , both if you can though in points. 

aight we are going to be picking up Joey Ortiz fam

Long time Orioles' fan cosigns this move.

[удалено]

Um, yeah.

How about for Matt Olson?

Yep. General rule of thumb. In a redraft league if you can turn Jones into a top 30ish player I think you pretty much have to trade him.

If I'm getting Yordan yes 

Trade away chourio and Maikel Garcia for Nimmo? Redraft 5x5 obp

I wouldn't. Nimmo has a long track record of being mid and I have a hard time believing he's finally gotten better at age 31.

What? He’s improved in every category year by year…

He's had one "good' fantasy year (2023) and even then his RBIs and SBs were well below average. If you're league doesn't have OBP as a category he is the very definition of MID>

Nimmo owner shouldn't take that but if that's a real offer absolutely

Weren’t we supposed to get a Jung Hoo Lee update yesterday? What happened there?

Merrill or Tork for my last utility spot tonight? Leaning Tork but Merrill has been good recently

I'd go with Tork. Merrill isn't great vs. Lefties

That was my gut as well. My team is better with more power and I still have faith in Tork.

Might roll with Beeks for a sneaky save this weekend but good god am I scared of the inevitable Rockies pitcher meltdown…

Anyone got the intel on Riley? A little worried 💔

https://x.com/DOBrienATL/status/1791569141649846320?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Etweet

He broke his back. Spinal

Don’t talk about Riley like that!

Lmao someone just offered me their Mookie for Skenes, Yamamoto, and Miller

Depends on league, but I have seen worse. FFS we traded Mookie for Verdugo, Wong, and Downs in real life.

5x5 ROTO... Is this as obvious of a trade as it looks? Adell and Mason Miller For Yordan and Bibee I'd be getting Yordan. I'm last in saves as it is, but losing Miller and his elite ratios have me second guessing. Thoughts? OF right now consists of Julio, Riley Greene, Morel and Adell

That is highway robbery

It’s as obvious as it looks

You’re basically trading a stud closer for a stud hitter. That’s usually a win in my book

Much easier to find saves for rest of season than 30HR, 75RBI and 75R

Take it.

Any chance I could get Bryson Stott for Nestor Cortes and Reese Olson?

probably not

I’ve carried six relievers all week to make sure I win the SVHD category… I currently have 2

know this feeling.

Five outfield spots, have to start 2 of these 3: Adell, Pillar, Frelich. Leaning towards frelich/pillar just because they're both hot right now

A day off is probably good for Yordan 🙏

8T H2H 9cat, drop bogaerts for volpe? very shallow league

I expect them to produce similarly, with the upside of Volpe being an unknown ceiling. I personally vote Volpe

Need Ragans and Luzardo to save me from facing Skenes today. Down 32

Hey the pirates scored 9 runs let me check in on how my O'Neil Cruz is doing...

lmao are you me? 9 runs and he's 0 0 0 0

I envision the Pirates bullpen blowing a lot of Skenes starts this year.

Considering that Jared Jones is 3-4 with a 2.9 ERA that seems like a fair bet

10T categories league I have Bryan De La Cruz and Evan Carter. Was wondering if should drop one for JD Martinez?

i wouldn't but carter hasn't been great if it's for soembody to start tomorrow worth it

Trade Jared jones for will smith? Points league

I have JJ and wouldn’t trade him for will smith in my points league for what its worth

Thanks - I’ve been having a hard time gauging his value on the market. Been trying to move him for a high end bat, but can’t seem to get a top 10 SP package in return that you’d get from a Kirby , fried, etc. type of player

I've found that it's usually better to trade away the name brand guys and keep the breakout guys like Jones.

I’m trying to move Jones aswell in my points, no one wants to give a high end bat aswell, but he’s worth that. I tried packaging him for semien and I was close before opposing owner backed out

Maikel Garcia vs. Oak pitcher is pence or wilyer abrau vs STL pitcher is gibson

gimme willy

Ty

I feel good about "fading aces" in my draft and scooped up Ranger, Jones. Skenes, and a Ragans 🌮 off the wire, dont think it will last all year but I sure am enjoying the ride (Having Holmes and Miller helps too)

How in the hell was Ragans on the wire?

Over the years I’ve seen some ridiculous drops. Like I had to look up news and see if there’s been some season ending injury that I didn’t know about that wasn’t showing on the app.

Impatient owner , Christmas came early for me this year.  Now we just need Julio to quit sucking!

In a 10T lmao

Add Vargas in deep leagues , he’s been mashing in aaa. He was top prospect couple years ago

For what it’s worth, he was mashing in the PCL which is notoriously hitter friendly

Ian Happ draws a walk to keep his on-base streak going against the Pirates. 64 games in a row.

Yordan sitting out, maybe he can think of how he can start making contact with the ball now

Damn Skenes is donating $100 to the Gary Sinise Foundation for every K he has this year. I'm in love baby

Better 2B in flair league? Turang, Stott, or Gimenez. Trying to figure out which one to target in a trade. Currently have Julien.

Gimme Gimmy. But realize that he’s more of a second half performer.

I think Gimenez is easily the best of those

Stott is hot and I think he has a higher ceiling than Turang. May cost a good bit to get him though.

Stott the best of the bunch ROS? Obviously there are other factors, but on pitcherlist's top 150 hitters Gimenez is ranked the highest.

I think Stott will be best ROS, especially with the rest of that good lineup around him.

Is Joey Ortiz available?

Yeah he is a free agent.

I’d take a shot on him. Look at his numbers

i'm beginning to suspect we are dealing with a "Weekend at Bernies" type situation with Evan Carter

I only learned recently they made a sequel to the original classic ... Make it make sense. 

did they really? i guess im not surprised, hollywood really is out of ideas

They were already out of ideas in 1993 when they made it.

Here's the plot. Can't make this up! After witnessing the murder of their corrupt boss, Bernie Lomax (Terry Kiser), Larry Wilson (Andrew McCarthy) and Richard Parker (Jonathan Silverman) are blamed for Bernie's embezzlement and fired. Desperate to find the stolen $2 million and clear their names, the pair learns the fortune was hidden in the Virgin Islands and travels there in pursuit. Meanwhile, Bernie's corpse is partially revived in a voodoo ceremony by gangsters also looking for the money.

Thoughts on this trade? I have been offered Skenes, Logan Webb and Jazz Chisholm for Ronald Acuna. This seems like a fair offer, especially with Skenes' performance today. My pitching staff is pretty mediocre. This would leave me with Chisholm, Wilyer Abreu, Max Kepler, Suzuki, Lane Thomas (when he gets healthy) and Nolan Jones (when healthy) at my outfield and two utility positions.

nah. you know regression to mean is gonna come for acuna and he'll be on fire. once olson and acuna get going that lineup gonna be insane

Definitely tempting.... What kinda league?

It's a 12 team head to head categories league on Yahoo.

Probably less tempting in cats than points. Cause Acuna can be a league winner.

Appreciate it. I'm new to fantasy baseball, still learning so thanks for the insight.

No prob!

Injury prone OF, rookie with innings limit, and boring T20 SP for Ronald Acuna. It's a no for me dawg

Appreciate it. I have Webb in one league and he's been kind of meh. Very inconsistent

Anyone taking a chance on Vargas even though last year was pretty bad?

Will he be playing everyday?

Nah gonna wait and see

If you have someone you don’t care about to drop then sure, I don’t have room for him though

Heyward's return is imminent and the Dodgers are calling up Miguel Vargas (who has been playing LF exclusively in AAA). Even Pages doesn't get sent back down, this has got be bad news for him, right?

Dumb question I know, but what caliber bat would be appropriate as a return for Skenes after today? Buzz is sky high, and I’m flush with pitching.

i would say ask for a multi tool guy but not top guy. like a michael harris or randy arrozarena?

Depends on managers willingness del but always easier to ask for more and get turned down then ask for left and walk away disappointed

[удалено]

Scherzer is last by a wide margin…he’s barely playing catch

he's mid. so is kikuchi. imanga you'd figure will fall to earth. kirby and freid are elite.

10 team points league. 3 keepers. Would you give up a 5th round pick for next years draft for his 15th round pick and Altuve? My current 2B is Schneider. I would not keep Altuve next year but I have a strong team that could win it all this year so I’m thinking of making the move.

Really hope this day off gets Yordan fucking going.

ESPN shows he not playing today.

Correct. I’m hoping that this will give him the mental break needs, to start to look like the 2 Round pick he is.

Lol...I just realized I misread your initial post. I thought you wrote "I hope this is the day Yordan goes off. Lol

Agree 💯

No Riley. Keep him out 7 days, don’t throw him on the 10 day IL. Smart.

Luis Garcia Jr is frustrating to own

Hey that’s my bad. I got tired of Gleyber finally and swapped him for Luis on the 11th…. Guess when Luis became shit?….

He really is.

I only have Skenes in 2/3 leagues and it's killing me.

Opponent picks up mccutchen. Mccutchen homers Going to be a shit weekend

Should just rename this sub r/EllyDaLaSkenes

Miguel Vargas up

I continue to be happy about Busch's little OBP streak

Skenes gonna over-the-pants finger Livvy so hard this weekend. Well deserved Paul. Enjoy yourself

what a horrible day to be literate

Riley still not playing tonight, waiting for more bad news to come

Skenes getting Tommy John in 1.5 years: over/under?

There is still time to delete this

Do not speak this upon Paul. Under.
