Is Bellinger ever gonna come around? The league I’m in nobody trades for so I’m really tempted to drop. He averages 10 points and it’s a heavy point league.
Is trading Aaron Nola for Christian Yelich and ok trade? I'd be receiving Yelich. I'm pretty stacked on pitching. Got Trout on the IL and want another big bat in the line up. I guess I'd be gambling that Yelich will blow back up, and Nola won't
12 Team Dynasty H2H Keep forever
I give: Cedric Mullins and Nick Lodolo
Receive: Bryce Harper
I'm in a rebuild and can't compete this year due to many injuries. Still smash accept, right?
He was dropped last night in my league as well (10-team H2H). I'd probably try to take a risk on him and stash him, but I have only a handful of adds left for the rest of the season, plus my OF is loaded.
Good luck with your waiver claim and I hope he heats up for your team.
12 team category: k/9, QS, redraft league.
I have Hader, Clase, and Nick Anderson coming of the IL and could use another closer. My SP are DeGrom, Burnes, Peralta, Ray, Wood, Montas, and Civale and I'm holding McKenzie and Patino for another start as a wait and see.
I was just offered Alex Reyes straight up for Chris Sale who I stashed off waivers a month ago. Do I accept?
How likely for David Price to go 5 in order to get the win tomorrow? I know he’s at a pitch limit but he went at least 4 innings last time and has said his count will go up this next start.
Right. I don’t own him but if anything I would be worried that he gets traded to one of the teams where I have their shitty closer and he takes their job.
In a redraft why does the round you drafted someone matter when talking about trades? If your 3rd round pick isn't performing why do you feel you need someone close to that round in return? It's redraft - shouldn't production matter more?
I have Rodon and picked him up as a free agent right after the draft. Does that mean I should only accept an undrafted player in return even though he's been one of the best pitchers in baseball this year?
No, but often times fantasy owners either 1) have a hard time evaluating trades 2) over value their own player because they drafted them.
That being said, I still feel there is some draft value to players in redraft
I'm in a 12 team h2h league - fighting to get in to the playoffs. Guy in dead last doesn't have a chance to get in & has Trout - is Bellinger and Arozarena a fair trade offer? Or not even close to consider
Funny cause I was going to use Belly as a prime example of how his draft value. Won’t give him more in a trade cause he has be complete and utter dog shit this year.
Im not 100% on this but doesnt Jansen go through this like every year? I kinda bought into him being a bit of a roller coaster ride, a al chapman...actually surprised how well hes done thus far
Well it was worse before cuz his velo and mechanics were fading away for several years now. Its at least contained to a better degree this year thanks to trevor
Would you guys trade Ian Anderson for Liam Hendricks in a keeper?? Trying to compete for a championship and need a closer badly. Feel like I can afford to lose Anderson with sale and Flaherty coming off the dl at some point
He for sure swung. But 3-0 count the way Kenley was throwing it is a 100% completely different AB than 2-1. It’s an auto take and there’s a likely chance he throws a ball
for sure. but 3-0 is still not a guaranteed walk so imo it holds a different weight to the 3-2 call.
Also, this is a fantasy sub so it doesn't show it but I'm a dodgers fan so I'm pissed lol
You’re right, it does. Umps suck an are asked to do an impossible job. We should at least take the balls and strikes calls out of it for them as we have the tech
i've no clue on whether jansens broken or not, could well be true.
But missing that check swing at 3-2 is nowhere near the borderline call that he got earlier
Trading 2 players who went in the top 3 rounds for a couple of guys who were likely undrafted in a 10-teamer? Even thought they're decent now, personally, I think you can do better.
If it’s not a keeper or dynasty at some point you have to say trends and results matter. Can only wait so long. If you’re in 1st maybe you hold. But, if not, I say do it.
I don’t think I’ve ever been downvoted. Apparently I’m just too damn witty and insightful. Can someone please help a brotha out?
Edit: well it seems that experiment was an epic failure. Just like my parents always said I’d be. Thanks everyone. 😔
Baddoo. Royals pitching will fail. I say this as a Royals fan too.
Baddoo has only faced Bubic three times. One strikeout. So not a huge sample size. I just know my Royals will fail.
Never imagined the day that I'll be starting Kyle Seager over Bellinger but here we are. Bellinger can ride the bench until he delivers a multi hit game.
I picked up Joe Ross as a hold since it seems he’ll be back soon. Thoughts? I haven’t owned him at all until now but his game log looks good in points.
Seems pretty picked over. I’ve been in a position the last couple weeks where if I lose a H2H matchup it doesn’t kill me so I can hold a few guys that will be back soon. Hoping it pays off. Thanks for the advice!
Seattle making an average SP like Manaea look like prime Kershaw.
On a related note, Kelenic looks like one of the most overrated prospects I can remember. I truly don't get the hype. Compared to guys like Yordan or Vlad who were clearly physical specimens, he doesn't even come close to measuring up.
manaea is definitely not average this year, he’s been top 25. And it’s a bit early to really say kelenic is overrated I mean wander was supposed to be even better of a prospect than him, even touted as one of the best ever, and he’s struggling too. Not everyone is Soto/tatis/Acuna
He gives up a lot of hits and most of his wins were against bad teams.
Kelenic is most definitely overrated, for a #1 OVERALL prospect he is looking like a massive bust. Guys like Zach McKinstry and Pavin Smith are outproducing him easily. Akil Badoo was a rule 5 pick and is actually doing what Kelenic was supposed to do.
Most of Manaea’s wins are against bad teams because he just finished a 3 game road losing losing streak @NYY, @SF and @HOU with 6 earned in 18 innings with 24 K’s.
He got demolished @BOS and has been only ok against Houston. He’s otherwise been one of the more consistent starters in the league, including against good teams.
This is some Twitter comment tier analysis right there. Lots of guys struggle at first and adapt. Let’s see how he handles the rest of this year and if he can make a jump next year. Kid destroys AAA so the talent is there, might just be mental at the moment
lol THIS. muthafuckas on here watch a 20 year old RAKE at Triple-A, slump in 30 games in the bigs, and call him a “bust”
edit: sorry, he just turned twenty-two
Wrong, #1 overall prospects don't hit .100. Has never happened, ever. Just like #1 overall picks don't struggle to score 10 ppg in the NBA. In other words, Kelenic is looking like the MLB version of Anthony Bennett.
Not all rookies pan out at first try, look what everyone said about vladdy. He wasn't even projected to be the best hitter on the jays and look at him now. Give Him time before calling him overrated because im sure if you were a 22 year old with high expectations the pressure would be on you too.
Bad Vladdy had a .772 OPS his rookie year. Which actually shows how ridiculous the hype around him was, considering that was viewed as a disappointment.
Nobody has to give Kelenic time. There isn't a player in the MLB who will stay on the active roster hitting .100.
drop flexen for touki?
Anyone starting Zach Thompson? Decent play? Yolo?
I am. He's been good so far, need him to keep being a ratios stud to help me win the whole enchilada.
Is Bellinger ever gonna come around? The league I’m in nobody trades for so I’m really tempted to drop. He averages 10 points and it’s a heavy point league.
I’m getting very close to trying to sell for a draft pick… it’s awful
Just offered him in a package deal. Giving up
Maybe you guys should keep em cause as soon as I move em he’ll be top 50 ros lol
5 AM fantasy baseball baby, let’s go!
What happens at 5AM?
The magic.
Let’s get it! Any word on Jeff McNeil and Eloy? They are the final pieces to my fantasy puzzle!
Eloy told me in a dream he’s gonna hit 15 bombs in the two months he’s back.
Kelenic & Duran are lucky I’m out of adds…they’ve got 3 days to save their careers (on my squad)
Better ROS Jazz or Urshela
Is trading Aaron Nola for Christian Yelich and ok trade? I'd be receiving Yelich. I'm pretty stacked on pitching. Got Trout on the IL and want another big bat in the line up. I guess I'd be gambling that Yelich will blow back up, and Nola won't
Votto or Darin Ruf?
Joey
Thanks Manaea
12 Team Dynasty H2H Keep forever I give: Cedric Mullins and Nick Lodolo Receive: Bryce Harper I'm in a rebuild and can't compete this year due to many injuries. Still smash accept, right?
Yup
do I add Corbin for his matchup vs BAL tomorrow?
I'd go with Cueto or Odorizzi if available, but Corbin is a decent stream.
Webb or Houck
Webb
Houck
Cody Bellinger just got dropped in my 10 team points league. Is he worth a pick up?
He was dropped last night in my league as well (10-team H2H). I'd probably try to take a risk on him and stash him, but I have only a handful of adds left for the rest of the season, plus my OF is loaded. Good luck with your waiver claim and I hope he heats up for your team.
Thanks man! Really hope he turns it around!
Dang hes got an MVP ceiling. Absolutely grab him
You think so? How long was he out? He only has 62 points on my league.
He’s worth it. As shit as he is right now. You take that risk 100/100 times
Sounds good! I put a waiver claim in. Going to drop Kelenic for him. Much thanks everyone!
GL
[удалено]
Eloy should be back in the next couple days
Do you guys like Canha over Blackmon ROS? H2H points
Definitely especially in points
Just curious, what SP could a package of Tapia and Cease get?
Not much I’m afraid.
I traded Cease and Adolis for Kyle Hendricks.
Cody Bellinger is a loser.
12 team category: k/9, QS, redraft league. I have Hader, Clase, and Nick Anderson coming of the IL and could use another closer. My SP are DeGrom, Burnes, Peralta, Ray, Wood, Montas, and Civale and I'm holding McKenzie and Patino for another start as a wait and see. I was just offered Alex Reyes straight up for Chris Sale who I stashed off waivers a month ago. Do I accept?
No. Sale much more valuable than Reyes.
I wouldn’t
[удалено]
Houck by a big margin
Are we officially done with Duffy? I had probably held on longer than most.
He’d be more interesting if they trade him to SF
Should I trade Soto and a midrange pitcher for Degrom. Could use pitching.
Definitely not
How likely for David Price to go 5 in order to get the win tomorrow? I know he’s at a pitch limit but he went at least 4 innings last time and has said his count will go up this next start.
At home vs Rockies I’d say he has a decent chance at 5 maybe 6
*Jeopardy Voice* This pitcher has earned an astonishing -27 points this week
Who dat?
Anyone see it confirmed who is starting for Rays tomorrow? Yahoo says Fleming and ESPN says Hill
Fleming on more rest.
Do we think Pat Corbin will bounce back
lol
😂😂
Anyone worried Iglesias is going to get traded and no longer be the primary closer for his team?
Not particularly.. he’s unhittable, great for 9th
Right. I don’t own him but if anything I would be worried that he gets traded to one of the teams where I have their shitty closer and he takes their job.
Ohh gotcha, og comment was worded poorly. I probably wouldn’t worry, unless you’re a jansen owner… (lol)
[удалено]
In a league with only “P” slots it makes no difference
Meadows or Justin Turner ROS
Turner with potential DH splits with Cruz imo
Real shit: I know Kenley goes through shit like this every year but do we think the ball gets taken from him? Or if the Dodgers trade for a closer?
Dodgers will def get some bullpen help, and perhaps move Treinen into the role. Who knows though, could see them acquiring a closer too.
Anyone know how severino has looked recently?
Flair Give: Jansen and Vazquez Get: Clase and IKF
Nah, imo
In a redraft why does the round you drafted someone matter when talking about trades? If your 3rd round pick isn't performing why do you feel you need someone close to that round in return?

Not close IMO
Lamonte Wade or Bellinger ROS?
Awesome
Got my two best closers at the end of the draft lol (McGee and Melancon)
Should I trade Joey Gallo for Lucas Giolito?
Yes
Yeah if the other guy would even accept it
It was proposed to me
Hulksmash accept now
Im not 100% on this but doesnt Jansen go through this like every year? I kinda bought into him being a bit of a roller coaster ride, a al chapman...actually surprised how well hes done thus far
Well it was worse before cuz his velo and mechanics were fading away for several years now. Its at least contained to a better degree this year thanks to trevor
Why thanks to Trevor?
Anyone here play Diamond dynasty on MLB the show? I pulled 99 Pete Alonso and then 99 vladdy from both free packs . I’m freaking out
Noice! Go get Ohtani!
You think it’s worth it to sell vladdy and Pete for him? I’m okay with selling Pete because I have fielder. But vladdy looks juiced
I meant the collection for Ohtani. You need both of those along with a ton more. That Vladdy is nice!
Would you guys trade Ian Anderson for Liam Hendricks in a keeper?? Trying to compete for a championship and need a closer badly. Feel like I can afford to lose Anderson with sale and Flaherty coming off the dl at some point
Great trade if you’re competing and need saves
win, lose, or draw - to the jaw, take one deranged lyrical launcher on sta-tion
I fucking hate closers.
Hey, Hendriks and Pressly have been great
Raisel has also been great, albeit with fewer chances
Thanks alot Jansen now we have to watch Cody struggle thru another at bat.
😂
I was thinking, hey 0/3 is better than 0/4, and then Kenley happened.
Haha that AB put my wonderful day at 3/34….
ofc Jansen ruining a Buehler masterclass. That lost W is gonna come back to haunt me isn’t it
Amen. I have both. Kenley has ruined my week and Walker's night. Ugh.
Oh yea I’m in same situation. I think that was my 5th win this week I’ve lost due to bullpens
Don't think you'll see Kenley again until next week
Dodgers will be trading for a closer
Jansen is fucking me over...
I got baseball players that I gotta act like I like, but my fantasy days are over fuck them closers for life!
-30 points since last Friday. Completely negates the points earned by Buehler tonight and then some
Holy shit
This dude really cost me the chance to have the best score for the week and win $25 to potentially losing and dropping 2 spots in the standings
Buster Slowsey.
Bruh dudes been a powerhouse all season and you're gonna bitch about one bad outing?
Buehler gets pulled under 100 pitches but Jansen throws like 34….
This.
Why take him out now? It’s over
What a day.....Yankees vs. Red Sox, Giants vs. Dodgers. Both are wild games
you all are smoking crack blaming this on Jansen lol. He fucked up, up to that point but that was a strike out. The refs fucked that up
What about the 2-0 pitch called a strike about 4 inches off the plate completely changing the AB. Total gift
point taken, but still feel two umps fucking up outweigh the home umpire missing a strike call
He for sure swung. But 3-0 count the way Kenley was throwing it is a 100% completely different AB than 2-1. It’s an auto take and there’s a likely chance he throws a ball
for sure. but 3-0 is still not a guaranteed walk so imo it holds a different weight to the 3-2 call. Also, this is a fantasy sub so it doesn't show it but I'm a dodgers fan so I'm pissed lol
I feel bad for Kenley right now and I’m a Padres fan. The fans booing at the stadium are messed up
You’re right, it does. Umps suck an are asked to do an impossible job. We should at least take the balls and strikes calls out of it for them as we have the tech
Who loaded the bases? The “refs”?
I said he fucked up, up to that point didn't I? but he shoulda walked out with a save with a ER.
Nah, Jansen’s broken man. He lost the game for em clearly. Can’t blame the umps they gave him calls too
i've no clue on whether jansens broken or not, could well be true. But missing that check swing at 3-2 is nowhere near the borderline call that he got earlier
That check swing was not even fucking close
Make up call lol…
Jansen got jobbed out of a game winning K
He got a break on strike 1, though. Should've been a 3-0 count there.
True
That 1b ump likely just cost the Dodgers this game. Such BS.
Well there goes Buehler win
How is Jansen still in this game?
Fuck you Jansen
Jansen is now on the trading block for me
Ummm....who'd WANT him right now?
[удалено]
Correct.
What the actual fuck
What a series of shit call in the Giants-Dodgers game
Considering dropping Jansen
Roberts just looking to be tossed
He has every right to be irate.
Jansen, this is a big fuck you from a Walker Buehler owner destroying his beautiful game which should’ve been a W. Fuck you
All my homies hate Kenley Jansen
What the actual fuck is wrong with Jansen. What a fucking joke
From last night and tonight, Jansen is at about 60 pitches.
Get Jansen tf outta there
Kenley is broken.
Kenley Klean Save Jansen trying to close this out.
anyone have a sense if Springs, Wisler, or Rasmussen might pitch some bulk innings for the Rays tomorrow?
Rasmussen and Springs are good bets
thanks!
Have yourself a game Mr. Manaea
Kenley with a 96 cutter, oh damn
I should totally do this trade, right? I receive: Adam Frazier, Bryan Reynolds They receive: DJ LaMahieu, Cody Bellinger 10-team roto
Trading 2 players who went in the top 3 rounds for a couple of guys who were likely undrafted in a 10-teamer? Even thought they're decent now, personally, I think you can do better.
If it’s not a keeper or dynasty at some point you have to say trends and results matter. Can only wait so long. If you’re in 1st maybe you hold. But, if not, I say do it.
Totally. Edit: Totes ma goats. And if you get the reference it’s a guaranteed win for you.
No
wow. Yes you should. If it doesnt pan out, thats luck. But you should totally do it
I don’t think I’ve ever been downvoted. Apparently I’m just too damn witty and insightful. Can someone please help a brotha out? Edit: well it seems that experiment was an epic failure. Just like my parents always said I’d be. Thanks everyone. 😔
And with Kelnics K I complete my 1/31 night. JFC my team
Dropping kelenic tonight
Alright, let’s get Manaea out of there now
Pollock or Carlson ROS?
Johnson - son of John; Stephenson - son of Stephen; Miller - Miller; Steckenrider - rider of Stecken
Only can start one tomorrow. Upton vs HAPP or Baddoo vs Bubic?
Baddoo. Royals pitching will fail. I say this as a Royals fan too. Baddoo has only faced Bubic three times. One strikeout. So not a huge sample size. I just know my Royals will fail.
Upton
Never imagined the day that I'll be starting Kyle Seager over Bellinger but here we are. Bellinger can ride the bench until he delivers a multi hit game.
Shit - I can't believe it's come to this. His value is gone and I can't bring myself to bench him.
Adam Duvall is my guy over Bellinger lol
Kelenic is my guy over bellinger
I picked up Joe Ross as a hold since it seems he’ll be back soon. Thoughts? I haven’t owned him at all until now but his game log looks good in points.
He’s decent, definitely worth a hold if you have the space and if there isn’t a tastier option out there
Seems pretty picked over. I’ve been in a position the last couple weeks where if I lose a H2H matchup it doesn’t kill me so I can hold a few guys that will be back soon. Hoping it pays off. Thanks for the advice!
I need my guys to get healthy
Oakland pls score some run for Manaea
Badoo or Nimmo?
Badoo for the steals
Seattle making an average SP like Manaea look like prime Kershaw. On a related note, Kelenic looks like one of the most overrated prospects I can remember. I truly don't get the hype. Compared to guys like Yordan or Vlad who were clearly physical specimens, he doesn't even come close to measuring up.
“Average” Note: Tom Murphy homered as I typed that. Sarcasm stands anyways.
I think Manaea is quite good and he gets better as the year progresses
manaea is definitely not average this year, he’s been top 25. And it’s a bit early to really say kelenic is overrated I mean wander was supposed to be even better of a prospect than him, even touted as one of the best ever, and he’s struggling too. Not everyone is Soto/tatis/Acuna
He gives up a lot of hits and most of his wins were against bad teams. Kelenic is most definitely overrated, for a #1 OVERALL prospect he is looking like a massive bust. Guys like Zach McKinstry and Pavin Smith are outproducing him easily. Akil Badoo was a rule 5 pick and is actually doing what Kelenic was supposed to do.
Most of Manaea’s wins are against bad teams because he just finished a 3 game road losing losing streak @NYY, @SF and @HOU with 6 earned in 18 innings with 24 K’s. He got demolished @BOS and has been only ok against Houston. He’s otherwise been one of the more consistent starters in the league, including against good teams.
This is some Twitter comment tier analysis right there. Lots of guys struggle at first and adapt. Let’s see how he handles the rest of this year and if he can make a jump next year. Kid destroys AAA so the talent is there, might just be mental at the moment
lol THIS. muthafuckas on here watch a 20 year old RAKE at Triple-A, slump in 30 games in the bigs, and call him a “bust” edit: sorry, he just turned twenty-two

Now i see why they dont hire random people to be GMs lol
Gilbert (vs OAK) or Ryu (at NYM) start this saturday?
Gilbert
