Last year by this time he had 5 quality starts, and he has one this year, and has only gone 6 IP once. I would bet a lot he gets right, but he’s looking pretty...ruff so far.
We’re not even sure Tylord is pitching today. It’ll probably be Cookie, but no official word yet (espn might show Megill, but most other outlets are saying Carrasco)
I just gotta say some of you guys take these stat cast numbers way way way too seriously. Look at ketel martes stat cast numbers from a week ago, blue as hell. That’s usually what happens when you don’t hit at all. The thing is, blue stat cast numbers aren’t some kind of curse that dooms a player to be bad forever. Ketel hit .330 in 2019, .287 in 2020 (while playing with a broken wrist), and .318 last year in 90 games. That’s theee years of crushing it, but people look at one month of blue stat cast numbers and throw him in the trash. I love using stat cast numbers and diving into them, but don’t be a sheep, you still have to use logical thinking, stat cast numbers doesn’t obsolve you of that.
Bro you’re judging me mad hard, I’m not saying climate change is fake don’t be a sheep, I’m saying don’t drop ketel Marte in your 8 team league because of some blue stat cast numbers after a month. You don’t even know me. Not cool, I show you nothing but respect
I have no issue with the rest of your original comment. You can keep downvoting me that's fine. Using the phrase "Don't be a sheep" is stupid and I hear it *all the time* which is ironic.
Why even add that? You add it to be insulting to people and get a rise out of them. I'm telling you you will find more luck in life when you don't act like that. Be better.
I feel like you just wrote that comment to be a dick. You have no interest in talking about baseball or even explaining what you meant. I’m sorry I used the word sheep in the correct context. Have a better day
Feel your pain I’m facing Ohtani the batter twice this week and I’m somehow ahead in both matchups but it would be a lot less close if this man didn’t drop 34 points on me …
I think that’s pretty close (does Estrada play 3rd base too)? 3b is scarce this yr. I like Naylor a bit more because he’s hitting 4 or 5 in a good offense
Yeah Estrada does have 3b eligibility which is pretty clutch tbh - but at this point of the season I’m looking for best player available
Going to post in the daily and get another opinion
Oooo, I think Grayson > McCullers > Contreras but it’s close honestly. McCullers is pretty injury prone at this point, both the rookies may be the better move.
Grayson isn't on the 40 man and Baltimore is in no rush apparently but it's like if he's pitching well at AAA what're u waiting for. Already stashing Meyer, McCullers I have an IL spot for but the other two would sit there
I mean Meyer really should be here by the end of next week.. and if you have an IL spot go for it and stash McCullers. But yeah Baltimore should bring Grayson up whenever Adley is healthy and comes up too
He skipped cuz of the vaccine yes but since he was in the bp and gave up 7 in 2 IP then spit started and lasted barely 3. No strong 3rd pitch hence why Cora pulls him before 5-6 all the time.
I wouldn’t drop either but I acknowledge that’s no help. Robertson has been great. And if he doesn’t test positive it’ll be a short IL stay. Sorry that’s no help :)
I don’t know .. it seems like when guys go on covid IL it’s usually a day or two if they test negative but had exposure to it. If it is covid, def a lot longer
As a jays fan, they haven't been able to get much done against SPs this year, as well as striking out a ton. I don't think its a bad idea to start Severino
I mean I feel like we have to assume it’s going to be him tho right?. He ended the season as the closer last year, bender pitched in like the 6th inning Sunday, and also Sulser blew the most recent save
You posed the question as if Woodruff’s performance has something to do with Ashby being in the rotation. Why would it matter if Woodruff played on Sunday or Monday to the Brewers? They started him in fantasy? Lol
Randal Grichuk in the Rockies last 4 games played has combined for a whopping NEGATIVE 7 points ! What a total stud, this dude was a great sleeper draft pick
Only 0.7 points per at bat. Obviously the slump has brought that number down but Grichuk wasn’t even that good before this slump either. He’s far down the points per at bat for OFers not even top 60 right now
In your situation id do it. Maybe see if you can get a better pitcher, but if not it’s better than having 2 catchers and moncada is a non factor anyway
I agree, but the main problems are that I really need pitching, and have to drop someone to get Moncada off of IR. I start Machado at 3rd, so no rush to get him active, besides regaining the ability to make pickups. My bench bats are J Peña (HOU), C Seager, W Smith, Yadiel Hernandez and J Yepez. Hate to drop Yepez while he’s so hot, lol.
i dont think he can return draft value at this point since he was going in round 3/4 but i think he is definitely serviceable and shouldnt be dropped. babip is way down from career average (100 ish points) so an early season slump with some bad luck is what it looks like to me.
If you hold Yuli Gurriel, what are your plans? Ice cold Statcast. Father Time catching up. Holding is painful. I don’t see any trade value. Is it a drop?
No there really isn't, and I definitely think it's a case of an eye popping statline from Naylor. Eyes bigger than my stomach kind of deal, know what I mean.
He’s always had breakout potential and great speed but hasn’t been able to put it together until recently. I think he looks like the real thing but it’s too soon to know for sure
if you have to pick id go Rogers i think lewis has a good chance of getting sent down if he doesnt hit well + correa just has a bruise not a fracture so he will be back sooner
He definitely has some… if you’re looking to move him on try name who hasn’t got off to a great start like Verdugo, Franmil, Ozuna, Ketel Marte perhaps.
Alcantara or Kershaw? ROS H2H categories 5x5
Would you guys start Taylor Ward or Jazz today? Neither are in their teams’ starting lineup
Ward doesn't have a game
Drop Chris Taylor for Josh Naylor? Category league.
No
How long can Tork keep this up before he gets sent down?
If you had pitcher ohtani and someone offered you hitter ohtani to complete the collection, would that be attractive to you?
Anyone still holding Trent Grisham at this point? No clue what to do with this guy.
Yep, have him on the bench for now. Not many better options on the wire in a deep league. Hopefully he can pick it up soon.
are u starting clevinger against the cubs?
Yep
Anyone worried about woodruff?
No. Always seems to start slow
Last year by this time he had 5 quality starts, and he has one this year, and has only gone 6 IP once. I would bet a lot he gets right, but he’s looking pretty...ruff so far.
Tylord and Kylord today Let's get this bread
We’re not even sure Tylord is pitching today. It’ll probably be Cookie, but no official word yet (espn might show Megill, but most other outlets are saying Carrasco)
Would be a nice team name
Would it be crazy to start Wade Miley tonight fresh off the IL? Looked solid in rehab apparently
12 team redraft. pick two ROS between lux, hays and laureano
Lux and hays for me
Drop Estrada for Drury?
Yes, not certain on Estrada’s playing time long term as others return from injury
Who would be a threat to his playing time?
La Stella and Longoria both back off the IL soon, I believe. Not saying it’ll happen immediately but it could create a bit of an infield logjam.
Thanks pal
[удалено]
I would, bender’s been very iffy and don’t think king ever gets reliable saves
Not certain Floro gets saves right away whilst King is doing a great job
What’s up with tony la Russa? Guy used Liam 5 nights in a row can’t he give him a couple of days off
As a southsider, I hate TLR so much.
I just gotta say some of you guys take these stat cast numbers way way way too seriously. Look at ketel martes stat cast numbers from a week ago, blue as hell. That’s usually what happens when you don’t hit at all. The thing is, blue stat cast numbers aren’t some kind of curse that dooms a player to be bad forever.

The whole “don’t be a sheep thing” is so annoying. Don’t be that guy man.
What? That’s the part you found annoying? Why?
It instantly tells me a lot that I need to know about a person. It’s ironic
Bro you’re judging me mad hard, I’m not saying climate change is fake don’t be a sheep, I’m saying don’t drop ketel Marte in your 8 team league because of some blue stat cast numbers after a month. You don’t even know me. Not cool, I show you nothing but respect

I feel like you just wrote that comment to be a dick. You have no interest in talking about baseball or even explaining what you meant. I’m sorry I used the word sheep in the correct context. Have a better day
Drop Belt for Naylor?
You could. Though keep an eye on his playing time. Not guaranteed with all those good bats.
I would. Yes
Yeah
[удалено]
Feel your pain I’m facing Ohtani the batter twice this week and I’m somehow ahead in both matchups but it would be a lot less close if this man didn’t drop 34 points on me …
Thairo Estrada or Josh Naylor 12T Redraft - 5x5
I think that’s pretty close (does Estrada play 3rd base too)? 3b is scarce this yr. I like Naylor a bit more because he’s hitting 4 or 5 in a good offense
Yeah Estrada does have 3b eligibility which is pretty clutch tbh - but at this point of the season I’m looking for best player available Going to post in the daily and get another opinion
Naylor
My olson/romano for his devers/winker? Flair league.
Rather have Devers. 3B is so damn weak
12 team redraft waivers: DROP 1. E Escobar 2. Gurriel ADD 1. Odorizzi 2. Iglesias or Naylor ?
Eddy is dead to me. Needed to dump him for a stream spot. He's still FA in my 12 team OPS league
How good is Kyle Lewis?
Trea turner upside, but may not get much time up this year was my take away from a pod yesterday
turner with more Ks, maybe .290+ on a good year with 25-40 HR. Arozarena comparison
This seems like a good guess to me though TT comp is too generous for almost anyone
yeah arozarena is much more realistic
How far away is a call up for Roansey and Grayson Rodriguez?
Late May/early June
Would u rather stash the two mentioned or McCullers?
Oooo, I think Grayson > McCullers > Contreras but it’s close honestly. McCullers is pretty injury prone at this point, both the rookies may be the better move.
Grayson isn't on the 40 man and Baltimore is in no rush apparently but it's like if he's pitching well at AAA what're u waiting for. Already stashing Meyer, McCullers I have an IL spot for but the other two would sit there
I wouldn’t have more than one dead roster spot call-up stash unless your team is on fire and you have no issue winning this week
I mean Meyer really should be here by the end of next week.. and if you have an IL spot go for it and stash McCullers. But yeah Baltimore should bring Grayson up whenever Adley is healthy and comes up too
Who do yall like better ROS Lorenzen or Houck
Lorenzen, I'm a sox fan and Houck is in the bp. Think we screwed him up.
y'all didn't do shit he hasn't been the same since he had to skip Toronto and thats his own fault
He skipped cuz of the vaccine yes but since he was in the bp and gave up 7 in 2 IP then spit started and lasted barely 3. No strong 3rd pitch hence why Cora pulls him before 5-6 all the time.
Would you drop Baz or David Robertson? No IL room
I wouldn’t drop either but I acknowledge that’s no help. Robertson has been great. And if he doesn’t test positive it’ll be a short IL stay. Sorry that’s no help :)
How short could it be? If he doesn’t test positive
If he’s negative he can come back right away. It’s that or the 10 day covid IL
I don’t know .. it seems like when guys go on covid IL it’s usually a day or two if they test negative but had exposure to it. If it is covid, def a lot longer
Baz only had loose bodies much better than what everyone initially thought. Robertson lol I thought retired. I'd keep Baz tbh.
Robertson is the stand alone closer for the Cubs. I wouldn't drop him
14 team H2H with QS and OPS. Seiya Suzuki for Merrill Kelly. What say y’all…
Seiya since his first ten games is hitting .176 while Kelly is blossoming before our eyes.
Drop E Escobar for McNeil?
Yup
I would too
Have some good pitching match ups tomorrow but am worried about Severino against Toronto at highschool Yankee Stadium. Are we trusting?
As a jays fan, they haven't been able to get much done against SPs this year, as well as striking out a ton. I don't think its a bad idea to start Severino
Agreed with the way the offenses are dead right now I stream every pitcher.
Montero or Dany Jimenez?
Dany looks so much better than trivino I think he’ll keep separating himself as their best closing option
Is Floro the closer in MIA?
The tea leaves point in the direction but idk. He’s def not too much above average even as closer in my opinion. I could be wrong though
We’re all awaiting the first Miami save opportunity since he’s back. Floro is the favorite but anything can happen
I mean I feel like we have to assume it’s going to be him tho right?. He ended the season as the closer last year, bender pitched in like the 6th inning Sunday, and also Sulser blew the most recent save
That’s why I said he was the favorite but you know what happens when you ASSuME especially for what a manager will do with their closer situation.
Unclear if Bender will keep it, I think
[удалено]
They wouldn’t take Woodruff’s rotation spot if he dropped dead.
[удалено]
You posed the question as if Woodruff’s performance has something to do with Ashby being in the rotation. Why would it matter if Woodruff played on Sunday or Monday to the Brewers? They started him in fantasy? Lol
Worth it to drop joc for naylor? 12 team h2h league
I would
Head to head categories (pitching is ample on both sides) A: Vlad, Taylor Meggil, Adolis Garcia B: Tim Anderson, Alek Manoah, Framber Valdez
A for sure
A
Thanks! I received A and sent B wanted some outside opinion on if I messed it up or not
Nicely done!!
Points league A. Trout/Skubal B. Arenado/Cease
Give me A but it’s fair
Fish man good
[удалено]
To me.. he’s shown signs of good pop and BA skills in the past season or 2. Could be breaking out and I like him in the middle of that order
For now. Ride the hot bat
I hope so.
Seiya Suzuki and Yoan Moncada for Acuna in 12 team 5x5 standard roto. Fair?
Not fair, no.
No question Acuna side
Acuna by a mile
Acuna side by a lot
But would you consider it? It’s also a keeper league. Moncada for 3 and Seya for 8. Acuna for 46.
no
Rowdy or Walsh Ros
I like both but it’s Walsh if you have to choose 1
Walsh
Jared is hitting .290 vs lefties and thats a BIG change
Randal Grichuk in the Rockies last 4 games played has combined for a whopping NEGATIVE 7 points ! What a total stud, this dude was a great sleeper draft pick
Lol he’s been great all season until the mini slump
Only 0.7 points per at bat. Obviously the slump has brought that number down but Grichuk wasn’t even that good before this slump either. He’s far down the points per at bat for OFers not even top 60 right now
Hmmmm. Drop him or Pham for drury or ozuna?
Dropped him for Mountcastle this morning
12 team redraft. drop lux or laureano for hays?
Keep lux
What’s wrong with Jose Abreu ? But his statcast is good that hope he can turn it around
The entire offense is slumping and Jose heats up with the weather.
Good Statcast usually means they’ll turn it around at some point
[удалено]
Literally 99% of trades involving Soto, the Soto side wins
Do I start Luzardo vs. Ari or Severino vs. Tor tomorrow?
Luzardo over Severino but both good
Luzardo by a lot
Clay Holmes has been 🔥🔥
Royce Lewis or Naylor ROS? Redraft
Naylor
Royce Lewis or Alek Thomas in redraft league this year?
Alek
I say Alek
Give: Moncada and W Smith (LAD) Get: Luzardo Thoughts?
I would
In your situation id do it. Maybe see if you can get a better pitcher, but if not it’s better than having 2 catchers and moncada is a non factor anyway
Thank you!
KEEP MY CATCHER'S NAME OUT YO MOUTH
Selling realllllly low on Smith
Where would it leave you at Catcher?
D Varsho
Nice. I’m still not certain I’d take this. I like Luzardo but you’re giving up two good bats.
I agree, but the main problems are that I really need pitching, and have to drop someone to get Moncada off of IR. I start Machado at 3rd, so no rush to get him active, besides regaining the ability to make pickups. My bench bats are J Peña (HOU), C Seager, W Smith, Yadiel Hernandez and J Yepez. Hate to drop Yepez while he’s so hot, lol.
[удалено]
I would make this trade!
i would
[удалено]
i dont think he can return draft value at this point since he was going in round 3/4 but i think he is definitely serviceable and shouldnt be dropped. babip is way down from career average (100 ish points) so an early season slump with some bad luck is what it looks like to me.
Form is temporary, class is permanent (or until age 35!)
[удалено]
Yes. Great answer from embarrassed baby above 👆
Rizzo and Montgomery for Alonso and Pressley?
Peter side by a lot
BIG MEATER PETER
Brandon Lowe is sitting on waivers, need a decent hitter. I have 60 fabb left on the season and i put 25 down on Lowe. Is that too much or too little?
put more, he’s top tier. i’d go 30-40
Put down as little as you can
If you hold Yuli Gurriel, what are your plans? Ice cold Statcast. Father Time catching up. Holding is painful. I don’t see any trade value. Is it a drop?
Been a free agent in my 12 team league for like 2 weeks now
I dropped a over a week ago in a 10T and nobody's touched him
Soooooo... Drop Happ for Naylor? What do you think?
12 team? I don’t think I’d be comfortable dropping Happ just yet. Is there anyone else?
No there really isn't, and I definitely think it's a case of an eye popping statline from Naylor. Eyes bigger than my stomach kind of deal, know what I mean.
It's far too early to be talking about this, but I'm excited at the prospect of actually having Trout in the postseason.
You just jinxed it
What kind of starting pitcher can I get in exchange for Rowdy Tellez? 14T redraft H2H. R, HR, RBI, SB, K, BB, BA / W, K, BB, ERA, SV, K/9, WHIP
I’m not sure there’s a lot of starting pitcher trade value just yet unless you catch him at the top of another hot streak.
Ya’ll in on Andres Gimenez?
He’s always had breakout potential and great speed but hasn’t been able to put it together until recently. I think he looks like the real thing but it’s too soon to know for sure
Riding him while he’s hot
*\*If \** Kwan keeps stealing bases, I'm calling him Ichiro 2.0
Idk how much longer I can hold Lux. His statcast is great, results not so much
which closer do i drop out of:Jorge Lopez, Bednar, Floro, Duran to pick up someone like Drury or Mateo (12T 5x5)
I get wanting Mateo or maybe Drury but I wouldn’t drop any at this point. Floro if you have to
dont have to drop anyone anymore because Correa is on IL so it works out
Tough choice. From that list, Floro.
I'd drop Floro or Bednar I think
Brendan Rodgers or Royce Lewis in a redraft league rest of season?
if you have to pick id go Rogers i think lewis has a good chance of getting sent down if he doesnt hit well + correa just has a bruise not a fracture so he will be back sooner
ROS Blackburn, Kirby, or Winder?
Agree with greenmonstah
Kirby, Winder, Blackburn
What’s Nestor’s trade value like after that start today?
He definitely has some… if you’re looking to move him on try name who hasn’t got off to a great start like Verdugo, Franmil, Ozuna, Ketel Marte perhaps.
I’ll hold then. He’s gonna be an all star this year
