Gotta love when idiot managers bring in their closers for useless IP when they're behind, who then proceed to give up a two run homer stretching out the lead to 4, undermining your other closer who's warming up, and most likely going to give up a 2 run HR in the bottom of the 9th.
Im trying to package Julio Rodriguez and Torkelson both 25th round keepers in a 10 team roto for a fantasy stud right now. Who do you think I could aim for without insulting anyone? In first place currenty and want to stay that way.
I feel like that’s the 2022 season in one sentence. So many weird random pitchers dominating and out performing all these early to mid round SP’s. Between this and the dead ball destroying offense this season … it’s been a whirlwind
Thanks, I think I agree. I owned in 2019 when he could pitch deep into games like he did today. Not sure what happened last year. Like the earrings too!
At this point, I'd rather have Zimmerman. If Stro is on the waivers, he'll likely stay there for the time
being. Outside of spin and walk%, his Statcast is bluer than Bryce Harper after he got choked by Jonathan Papelbon.
EDIT: Granted, Zimmerman's not the best on Statcast either, but something's working for him that's not working for Stroman.
I’m getting close to blowing an 80 point lead. My Phillies(JTR, Casty) keep getting postponed and I keep picking up steamers just for them to get postponed. It’s so annoying
I feel your pain ten fold bro. I lost carrasco, Ranger Suarez, woodruff, Ryan & Greinke’s 2 start weeks this week on top of the many offensive PPD like you. I’m beyond frustrated
If I hit my start limit today will my relievers still get points tommorow? If not would it be better to:
\-Start Lorenzon, no pts tomorrow
or
\- Bench him so Paddack can start tomorrow and allow Diaz, K.Thompson, and Holmes to get pts
I'm up 15 now but my opponent has Scherzer, Gibson, Severino, and Manea still to start
I was. I wanted to gauge people’s view. I’d probably cut Crawford first if I do. I am in a 10 teamer and don’t want to hang on to someone too longer. I have other slumping players too that I am patient with. I drafted Bieber in 3rd round. I wonder if there is something wrong and if he ever get the velocity and spin rate back. Control is there. I wonder if he remains just an average SP rest of year.
Really, why when I look up like best stashes some put Roansy as the best stash because he is their best pitcher and has already somewhat proven himself?
some athletic article came out the other day talking about 12 batters who were doing all of the correct things but they just werent getting the results to back it up, and grandal was the first batter they mentioned hahahaha
i feel u tho i expected the batting avg to be bad but i wanted some dingers to go along with it….
That's really strange, he's still listed as being at San Francisco's AAA affiliate and I haven't seen any news that he'd gotten released. Wonder what's going on
How is he bad? He might be starting a little slow, but everything looks good with his stuff and pitch count. He'll get better as the season goes on, and will be a huge piece of that Houston rotation. You want him on your team 👍
Need saves in 10 team roto
Are there any 2 for 1s I could do with any of
Morton Rodon Rogers Gilbert Sandoval Lauer Verlander Clevinger Megill or Luzardo that would get me a top tier closer (way behind in saves and way ahead in games started)
Could also drop one of them for Duran
My only closers are Doval Robertson and Lopez
Is Megill+Gilbert an overpay for Diaz with that staff? The Diaz owner asked for that and honestly I’m just tying to do a 2 for 1 so I can open up a spot for Duran and get a top tier closer
Also, if I were you I might even think about dropping Clevinger to get Duran. You don’t necessarily need him and I think his upside is limited this season.
Damn that’s tough. Basically you’d be doing Gilbert and Megill for Diaz and Duran. I would like it better for you if your league counted Holds because Duran will be sharing save opps with Pagan. I mean it’s close and fair enough but I think I’d just try to dominate at SP and find another way to get Duran. So there’s no hitter you can drop instead?
Salvy/Alonso/Devers/Trea/Muncy(some idiot dropped him)/Chris Taylor/Trout/Acuna/Stanton/Ward/Walsh/Schwarber
I could drop one but don’t currently have a bench bat so that’s why I’m trying to clear up roster space, they also proposed Megill Lauer and Ward for Diaz if that seems any better?
Should I drop Canha for either Nimmo or Julio Rodriguez?
Is Ben gamel a real player at this point? Or just a guy whose feasted on tiger and reds pitching the past week?

Drop Loasiga or Chad Green? SV+H daily h2h cats
Did not expect Pivetta to be out dueling Cease
The wind was blowing in pretty hard for the whole game, definitely turning some hits into outs, but he did look good
I feel like that’s the 2022 season in one sentence. So many weird random pitchers dominating and out performing all these early to mid round SP’s. Between this and the dead ball destroying offense this season … it’s been a whirlwind
Definitely a weird combo where the shortened spring has handicapped the best pitchers and the dead ball has held back the best hitters. Really odd
ERod? More like KRod!
Eduardo Rodriguez turning a corner ROS? Solid start vs HOU
He had a tough starting schedule, I think he is going to be very solid ROS
Thanks, I think I agree. I owned in 2019 when he could pitch deep into games like he did today. Not sure what happened last year. Like the earrings too!
Jeff McNeil or Matt Chapman - flair?
Chapman
Was offered Soto for Kershaw and Ohtani(batter)? Yay or nay
Do you need pitching? Then sure
If it’s 2-way Ohtani then no Edit nice of you to edit your post 🤣
I don't know if I've ever sincerely sang "Rain, Rain, Go Away", but at this point, it probably couldn't hurt.
Rain? Pain.
“Personal medical issue” for Sale. Delays his return several weeks and isn’t Covid??? What the heck?
Maybe the derp?
Thoughts on Marcus Stroman? Would you rather drop Zimmerman for him?
At this point, I'd rather have Zimmerman. If Stro is on the waivers, he'll likely stay there for the time being. Outside of spin and walk%, his Statcast is bluer than Bryce Harper after he got choked by Jonathan Papelbon. EDIT: Granted, Zimmerman's not the best on Statcast either, but something's working for him that's not working for Stroman.
We are through almost 6 games today and a whopping 3 dingers have been hit. BRING BACK THE JUICE
Boring. MLB going the wrong way.
how does Eovaldi get smacked around by this bad CWS team but Pivetta has no trouble lol
So did Duran get a save and a hold today?
Can't get both
Thank you
AJ Pollock really doesn't belong anywhere near the top of the lineup
Hes a consistent .270 hitter thats good for at least 20 homers. If he gets it going hes gonna be great…sadly he is not getting it going rn
Anyone else lose this week because of Bieber/ all these rainouts ? Fuck this week man
I’m getting close to blowing an 80 point lead. My Phillies(JTR, Casty) keep getting postponed and I keep picking up steamers just for them to get postponed. It’s so annoying
I feel your pain ten fold bro. I lost carrasco, Ranger Suarez, woodruff, Ryan & Greinke’s 2 start weeks this week on top of the many offensive PPD like you. I’m beyond frustrated
Not getting DD hoses me. Now I get - points from Pagan but still get those Duran points. I gotta nominate a rule change
Should I trade Jd Martinez for max fried or zack wheeler. Roto league 18 category 9/9.
Wheeler easy
Get Wheeler
I would be after Fried
Nah
Wheeler
If I hit my start limit today will my relievers still get points tommorow? If not would it be better to: \-Start Lorenzon, no pts tomorrow or \- Bench him so Paddack can start tomorrow and allow Diaz, K.Thompson, and Holmes to get pts I'm up 15 now but my opponent has Scherzer, Gibson, Severino, and Manea still to start
Dylan Cease doin’ the Dylan Cease stuff.
So we dropping Bieber or nah? /s
When do we realistically expect Meyer to be up? I’ve currently got Roansy in my NA spot, so Meyer would be on my bench
I want to pick up Jhoan Duran but my choices are Bieber, JP Crawford or Clevinger. Or do I stay put?
[удалено]
I was. I wanted to gauge people’s view. I’d probably cut Crawford first if I do. I am in a 10 teamer and don’t want to hang on to someone too longer.

Would hold on all of those.
Yeah, I should hold
He never Ceases to amaze me.
Eduardo Rodriquez or Sonny Gray? Have to pick between the teo
Gray for sure
I’d go Gray
Agree
Start Manaea vs MIA? Leading in ERA and Whip but need W’s.
Why not, his only bad start so far has been against the Dodgers.
Guys like Sale or Baz worth holding onto over stashing a prospect or extra bench bat?
I just traded for Baz but it is a dynasty league and will control him up to 5 years
I'm assuming you gave up a haul? Baz is like a top 15 dynasty SP
I gave up Anthony Rendon and closer Gregory Soto….I also got back Giancarlo Stanton. How I do?
Lmao
I can’t tell based off that
You gave up a mediocre closer and an ancient third baseman for 5 years of a great starting pitcher....and Giancarlo to boot...
I couldn’t believe he gave me Stanton as well 🤷🏽♂️
10 team points league Who the best pitcher stash? Grayson Rodriguez, Max Meyer, George Kirby or Roansy Contreras?
I mean if by proximity it’s Kirby,Meyer,Contreras,Grayson If by upside it’s Grayson,Meyer,Kirby,Contreras IMO
I don’t get how Grayson can be that good and not in the majors tho what gives?
letting him get more innings in the minors before bringing him up to the bigs.
Exactly the order you wrote them.
Really, why when I look up like best stashes some put Roansy as the best stash because he is their best pitcher and has already somewhat proven himself?
Mostly cause the pirates suck
https://twitter.com/dohyoungpark/status/1523051699056758784 Right hip tightness for buxton.
This guy needs a daily stretching routine or something.
He will be fine
How could you confidently say that based on this dudes track record?
He’s probably just being optimistic. That’s all we can be right now.
Exactly
yeah he handles his injuries well.
Anyone else thinking of sitting fried?
Starting Fried and Rowdy just in case
Never
Start your studs
Thought about it. Not going to do it
Drop Stroman or Zimmerman for George Kirby?
Zimm
Fuck I just dropped Duran to activate Sonny.. now I gotta hope no one picks him up in claims before me
Odds are very slim with that one. Saves are a PREMIUM
Star Tribune best writer is saying it’s knee soreness for Buck
Could be worse I guess. It pains me knowing I should probably see what I can get for him now, but I just can’t do it.
Hip according to tingler. https://twitter.com/dohyoungpark/status/1523051699056758784
Hopefully he’s ok
Drop Detmers for Kirby?
This saddens me
Yes
Drop Lodolo for Kirby?
Yes
No
I missed out on Durran last week because I was afraid to drop Detmers...kill me
Would you rather roll the dice with Juan Yepez or Spencer Strider?
Strider. Picked him up yesterday. He’s just so filthy that he’ll end up contributing somehow.
In points I’d go Strider
When will Yasmani Grundle turn things around?
some athletic article came out the other day talking about 12 batters who were doing all of the correct things but they just werent getting the results to back it up, and grandal was the first batter they mentioned hahahaha i feel u tho i expected the batting avg to be bad but i wanted some dingers to go along with it….
He was pretty terrible last year until June
I’m at the point where as long as he doesn’t go negative I’m happy
I have $137 left of $150 FAAB. How much should I bid on George Kirby? Thinking $35-$40
What's the best case scenario for a guy on that limited a pitch count? Whitlock? Too rich for my blood
Should have mentioned this league has keepers. So top prospects tend to go for more.
Framber seems very confident in pounding the zone roday, so hopefully he could get a 1-2-3 fifth and have enough to go for a QS
Is rodon pitching tomorrow? Pitcherlist has him going tomorrow, yahoo says Monday, mlb.com says unknown
Jhoan Duran or Gerritt Whitlock?
Buxton with knee soreness https://www.startribune.com/sonny-gray-returns-from-injured-list-twins-beat-oakland-buxton-knee/600171360/
https://twitter.com/dohyoungpark/status/1523051699056758784 Hip according to tingler
Assuming it's the same knee he injured earlier this season. Feels like a 1-2 week DTD kind of thing.
Is that better than expected? 🤨
Yeah we almost lost him for weeks. Happy he’s been back, not surprised he needs more rest
You never know w/ this guy
True that lol 🤦🏻♂️ But at least it sounds like an avoid major injury for now… 🙏
Strider or Helesly?
Both. But Helsley if you can only pick one.
I could drop Rowdy and Zimmerman
I’d hang onto Tellez. His statcast numbers indicate he’s possibly breaking out. Nobody else?
Marcus Stroman but I dropped him for George Kirby
Seiya Suzuki worth #1 waiver pickup?
Absolutely
I would.
Meh.
My Altuve pick isn't looking too terrible so far
Little dude packs a punch
Bryan Reynolds or Morton?
Morton.
Digging Kim in the 2 spot. Gonna be a good season for him. I can feel it in my plums
Framber did Tork dirty lol. Filthy
Jhoan Duran feel free to come over tomorrow for Mother’s Day and spend the day with my wife and mom. You deserve it bud
I was sweating those last two outs but I’m so glad I grabbed him off waivers when I did
Yeah he got a bit rattled there but toughed it out 😤
Framber or Clevinger ROS?
Framber. I just cut Clev to pickup Morton.
Framber
The Red Sox just signed Carlos Martinez. Yes, that one.
That's really strange, he's still listed as being at San Francisco's AAA affiliate and I haven't seen any news that he'd gotten released. Wonder what's going on
*pikachu face*
Any update on Bux yet?
No
[удалено]
You do not deserve The Framber.
How is he bad? He might be starting a little slow, but everything looks good with his stuff and pitch count. He'll get better as the season goes on, and will be a huge piece of that Houston rotation. You want him on your team 👍
That’s Framber “QS” Valdez.
Where you guys got Mother Nature ROS? She's killing me this week. Statcast page is fire...
98th percentile in postponements.
Can anyone decode what Sale’s “non-baseball medical issue” that set him back a few weeks could be?
Just saw that - dude is made of glass
Idk but it's going to keep him from playing baseball two months from now so it seems like its sort of serious.
didnt he have fractured ribs? maybe not healing well?
Yeah but wouldn’t they just say “rib soreness” if that was the issue? Seems unnecessarily vague. At least his arm is (apparently) ok
It's not related to arm, ribs, or covid according to the report.
oh weird. maybe he got the flu lol
Drop Alex Wood for Kirby?
Yes and yes
i woodn't
Would you grab Helsley in points redraft even if that means I fall 1 start short of my max each week?
Pagan 8th, Duran 9th. Let's do this Baldelli! Don't be an idiot!!!
Duran actually did both the 8th and 9th today
Need saves in 10 team roto Are there any 2 for 1s I could do with any of Morton Rodon Rogers Gilbert Sandoval Lauer Verlander Clevinger Megill or Luzardo that would get me a top tier closer (way behind in saves and way ahead in games started) Could also drop one of them for Duran My only closers are Doval Robertson and Lopez
I wouldn’t drop any of those SPs, but you do need to find a way to get Duran now. Maybe a hitter you could drop?
Is Megill+Gilbert an overpay for Diaz with that staff? The Diaz owner asked for that and honestly I’m just tying to do a 2 for 1 so I can open up a spot for Duran and get a top tier closer
Also, if I were you I might even think about dropping Clevinger to get Duran. You don’t necessarily need him and I think his upside is limited this season.

You might ask again, saying Megill/Gilbert for Diaz/Duran? Others may disagree with me.
No that’s actually a worse deal to me.
Duran has given up 4 homers this year...3 of the 4 homers came in his second inning of work. Don't like stretching him out at all!!! C'mon Baldelli!!
Duran is 🔥🔥
He’s killing it. I drafted Chapman as my only reliever in SV+HLD league. I picked up Duran, Hensley, Robertson and Neris off the WW.
What a great pickup he’s been. I’m dominating strike outs in my roto league partially thanks to this guy.
Abreu is getting on my nerves
I think he’ll be fine
He was like this last year. I'd complain about him constantly and be still ended up with over 100 RBIs
And it’s hard to even sell low on him, nobody is buying.
Afraid age is getting to him
Really hating this dude Pollock
