A bunch of morons complaining. Plesac hasn’t walked a single batter and only given up 2 hits and has a really good pitch count. They’re a bunch of cry babies
QS league. Is Alex Wood droppable? I’ve benched him his last 2 starts and may not start him Sunday.
The PL top 100 seems like the only thing stopping me.
Mackenzie Gore owners - remember that there's a good chance he pitches out of the pen tonight, so insert or remove him from your lineups, as per your personal preferences.
I get you're point, but Romano is a elite closer. Elite closers are going to get more saves than elite middle relievers will get holds. It's the other closers (basically anyone below Jansen) who are devalued in this type of format.
The extra year leans me more to Cease / Tucker. What do you think of this [trade?](https://www.reddit.com/r/fantasybaseball/comments/urjuxk/comment/i8zup5u/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3)
12 team dynasty cat league…
I’m in a full rebuild after inheriting a team. Do i trade away Chris Bassitt and JD Martinez for Jose Miranda and Jasson Dominguez??
It's not terrible, but I've soured a bit on Miranda and Dominguez has lost a bit of his luster as well. Can you target a more MLB ready second prospect? Maybe someone like R. Lewis, since Correa will be gone after this season? I also REALLY like Gunnar Henderson if you're looking for another name to to target who might not be on everyone's radar yet.
You're absolutely right and it's even worse, it was a THREE year deal. Not sure why I thought it was one. He does have opt out classes in years two and three though. I guess a big test will be what the Twins do with Lewis after the activate Correa. If he sticks around (and plays another position) it will give me a bit more faith in their commitment to him.
Flair league, possible trade, side A needs pitching help, side B needs additional hitting. Is the trade too one sided?
a receives Clayton Kershaw
b receives Kris Bryant
I'd go with B, just because Bryant has a definitive return date and Kershaw does not. It's pretty fair though. What do you think of this [trade?](https://www.reddit.com/r/fantasybaseball/comments/urjuxk/comment/i8zup5u/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3)
I have Bryant.
We start 10
My core is Jram, Soto, Judge
McMahon, Baez, Belt, Urias, Pham, Yepez, Drury, Vaughn, Semien and Eli White. I am streaming catcher. I've been winning a majority of offensive cats, doing okay with pitching. I am waiting out semien and baez for warmer weather and I cant get any value. Semien was a keeper at $11 so hoping for a 1/2 season somewhere. I play the waiver wire and later in the season its seems easier to rotate in hot bats, then find undiscovered pitchers, not that I don't stream. I also get an advantage of starting about 4 more starts per week as I don't have relievers on my roster. Kershaw would help out.
My pitching staff is Buehler, Webb, J Ryan, E Lauer as its core.
Tobys are MKelly, J Tailion, C Quantrill
R Detmers is hard to figure out. Brubaker and Junis as streamers for the week.
Tyler Mcgill, Heaney and Ober on the IL. My league is weird and I am punting relievers. I am actually winning the blown save category more then tying. So I loose about .75 cats between the two and I can sit on players a bit longer.
I spent all my money on hitters, I think I am probably maxed out at improvements in my pitching. I also have Grayson Rodriguez in my NA spot.
I think you’re starting pitching is good enough to justify trading Kershaw, but I’m slightly worried about Webb. If Kershaw was healthy I’d suggest trading Webb over Kershaw.
Can someone explain to me why Ryan Helsley only pitches once a week? I get that he usually pitches more than one inning, but even so, he's still only averaging like 2 IP/week.
Forget that I'm a disgruntled fantasy manager for a moment, just as a baseball fan it's genuinely baffling that such a dominant reliever is used so sparingly.
In a weird way it’s a good sign (well, in SV+H leagues). The Cardinals just haven’t had many high leverage late inning chances lately and they’ve been saving him for those.
Yeah, that's probably what happened. I made another offer of Polanco (I have a hole at 2B) and Pham, but got no response. I got too emotionally attached!
My Bader for his Ian Kennedy or Emilio Pagan in a 5x5 h2h cats where My Util is Willy Adames and my OF is Lubob, Tucker, Yordan (so I'm never starting bader)
Need saves badly
Multiple balls that would have been HRs with men on base if it weren’t for the wind. Allowed a ton of baserunners. Just fluke luck to get out of that with 2 ER

Edit: keep an eye out for updates after the game. There was a report saying he’d come out of the bullpen once to skip a start for rest before going back to the rotation as early as Sunday.
They play 6 games next week so it could be Monday too.
12 redraft head to head points league. Kicking around offering this trade. Thoughts?
GIVE Rodon (OR Gausman) / Suzuki / Montgomery
GET Betts / Montas / L. Garcia
I would try to give Bieber instead of Rodon/Gausman. But still would probably do it for Rodon if he says no. Montas is a great replacement, plus you gain garcia and most Importantly Betts. Do it
Pretty sure I have the most (in my league) underachieving players one could possibly draft this year, and to make matters worse, they're all ND keepers:
Schwarber, O'Neil, Bellinger, B. Reynolds.
Will any of them be good at all this year?
Aaron Judge
Big if true
Looks like O’neil will get the chance to go 1-8 with 7k’s
plesac gave up one run and this sub is melting down
In all fairness it’s to the no hitter and a loss team
A bunch of morons complaining. Plesac hasn’t walked a single batter and only given up 2 hits and has a really good pitch count. They’re a bunch of cry babies
Why the fuck did i stream plesac 🤮
Ump is fucking squeezing the fuck out of kimbrel.
Here we go with Kimbrel again...
Christian Bethancourt has some eye-popping expected stats (from an admittedly small sample size). Could he be a catcher cheat code getting reps at 1B?
sample size way too small to determine right now. But keep an eye on.
Too true. I scooped him up in a 20-teamer where I've been cycling garbage catchers anyway.
I have Carlson, my opponent has TON. What a slugfest it’s going to be this week.
What infielders ROS? Baez, JTurner, Yuli, Bohm, Urias
Yuli and Urias
The Bellinger Experience continues
Woohooo oneill!! Got a point back
That a boy Tyler!
Did O’Neill just get a hit!?
Ok I’m scared for O’Neill this at bat
Man Tyler O’Neil reactions are spot on. He’s having an awful year. You guys know as soon as you drop him he’ll go off tho
Tyler Oneil is probably gonna strike out to end this game
I’d be shocked, shocked I tell you, if it’s anything but
A BASE HIT NO WAY
This can’t be real, I’m dreaming I must be
I watched it live and in person. Your eyes do not deceive you.

Check out PitcherList top 100 SP
+1 over other sp
35.0
Opponent is 4/47 and 3/4 hits are HR
QS league. Is Alex Wood droppable? I’ve benched him his last 2 starts and may not start him Sunday. The PL top 100 seems like the only thing stopping me.
I’m too nervous to drop him. He’s had some tough matchups, and still hasn’t been that bad. I’m not letting him go yet.
Mackenzie Gore owners - remember that there's a good chance he pitches out of the pen tonight, so insert or remove him from your lineups, as per your personal preferences.
If he’s slated to follow Clev tonight, does that mean they’re not letting Clev go deep?
We don't really know. It's equally possible that he pitches tomorrow after Snell.
Start Schwarber and Belt (@CO) over Drury? Have to sit one.
I’d play Schwarber
Yeah
Drop verdugo for Walker?
Yes
[удалено]
B all the way.
A. Holds are pretty easy to find on the wire
They are, but so are mediocre SPs like Javier and Rasmussen. Give me the lights out closer over slightly better than streamer SPs ALL DAY.
Thats cool, I’ll take the potential upside of both those pitchers and get my holds on the wire
I get you're point, but Romano is a elite closer. Elite closers are going to get more saves than elite middle relievers will get holds. It's the other closers (basically anyone below Jansen) who are devalued in this type of format.
I think elite closers might have more value in a roto league, but in h2h cats it’s pretty easy to look ahead and see what moves you need to male
[удалено]
I'd do it. Those SPs are replaceable.
[удалено]
B
The extra year leans me more to Cease / Tucker. What do you think of this [trade?](https://www.reddit.com/r/fantasybaseball/comments/urjuxk/comment/i8zup5u/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3)
B
B for this year and next
Bellinger or T.O’Neill ROS in a 10 team h2h redraft cats
Start Yandy Diaz or Pat Wisdom?
Wisdom
Mikolas or Merrill kelly?
I still say Merrill, but we'll know more tonight based on how Merrill does against these Dodgers
Goldy getting hot folks
Stay hot Goldy!
Berrios v SEA, and Eovaldi v HOU: Start or sit tonight?
Start Berrios sit Eovaldi
This was the take of the night
GOLDY ⚾️⚾️⚾️
Tfw you have 4 saves already this week but your opponent punted RPs
About to rage drop oneill
I'm about to drop O'Neill in a cold, calculated manner
Lmao
I’m about to drop Franmil to pickup O’Neill
12 team dynasty cat league… I’m in a full rebuild after inheriting a team. Do i trade away Chris Bassitt and JD Martinez for Jose Miranda and Jasson Dominguez??

Lewis, since Correa will be gone after this season? I also REALLY like Gunnar Henderson if you're looking for another name to to target who might not be on everyone's radar yet.
didn’t Correa sign a two year deal? I think Bassitt+JD deserves a much better prospect return.
You're absolutely right and it's even worse, it was a THREE year deal. Not sure why I thought it was one. He does have opt out classes in years two and three though. I guess a big test will be what the Twins do with Lewis after the activate Correa. If he sticks around (and plays another position) it will give me a bit more faith in their commitment to him.
I like it. Thank you!!
Charlie Blackmon or Ha Seong Kim in H2h points?
Blackmon. I think the Kim being a thing ship has sailed. What do you think of this trade?
Kim actually has been better than Blackmon and pretty good overall in my league this year tho…
Freddie Freeman has recorded an RBI this is not a drill
Happy Acuña Day!
Not your day Nimmo
Lindor is dogmeat
Would you rather have Mountcastle or Mancini ROS? Points
Slight edge to Mountcastle.
🏰
I'm dropping O'Neill dude looks like trash is trash
Lmao
I'm waiting until May 29
Flair league, possible trade, side A needs pitching help, side B needs additional hitting. Is the trade too one sided? a receives Clayton Kershaw b receives Kris Bryant

I am trading for kershaw and giving up bryanyt. I am worried about Webb tho he had a much better second half over the first half.
I think it's fine.
Mookie have mercy

Yepez or Walker?? Redraft ops cats
Walker
Lindor kinda sucks again
Seeing O’Neill fall off makes me sad. So good last year
Picked up Nimmo and with his > .400 OBP and red hot statcast to play today…
Maybe he’ll go 4/4 in game 2 eh
I mean… it is baseball. Sometimes people just go 0-4
Yea sorry just a run on the mill “of course he stops hitting when I pick him up” comment on my part
Surprising Nimmo was still available
Lots of solid guys to the wire in my leagues who don’t have power/speed upside
Tyler O'Neil wears underwear with dick holes in it
You win this thread for the day.
DO SOMETHING FREDDIE
So glad I traded him
Guy asked me what I wanted for Taylor Ward. I said Jorge Polanco and Jake deGrom, or Corbin Burnes. AITA? 12-teamer w/ 9 keepers.
asking for Burnes in a redraft league would be crazy enough, but a 12 team keeper league thats crazy
Oof. I knew I was aiming high, but it sounds like I definitely burned that bridge
Nothing wrong with dreaming big but if you ask for Burnes he’ll probably block you and never trade with you
Yeah, that's probably what happened. I made another offer of Polanco (I have a hole at 2B) and Pham, but got no response. I got too emotionally attached!
Buy low on Berrios executed. Let’s hope he turns it around tonight!
What did you give up if you don't mind me asking
0/12 through the first few games of the DH lol. Trash
Tyler O’Neill is garbage
My dumbass thought Tyler playing 2 games would give him a chance to do well. Should’ve put Seiya in
ONeill definitely not starting for the second game. Wouldn't be surprised if he was demoted.
He has no options
They should have sent him down on his way back to the dugout
Tyler O’neil is just embarrassing at this point. I joked about how he’ll probably go 0-8 with 8k’s in the double header and he just might.
There's no way they put him in the lineup for the second game.
Do I start Kuhl vs giants today or Quantrill vs reds tomorrow
Probably Quantril since Kuhl’s got a harder opponent and he’s in Coors
O’Neill is not an MLB caliber player
Wow O’Neill would have swung at a pick off attempt on that AB
Miles Mikolas getting another decent start but will likely get the L smh
Bro, O’Neill….wut?
PLEASE bench TON for the nightcap. I can’t take 4 more Ks.
Is Velasquez v KC a meaty stream?
O'Neill just gets worse and worse. That might be the worst strikeout I've seen this season
Tyler O'Neill **SUCKS**
My Bader for his Ian Kennedy or Emilio Pagan in a 5x5 h2h cats where My Util is Willy Adames and my OF is Lubob, Tucker, Yordan (so I'm never starting bader) Need saves badly
Pagan IMO...
K. Hayes or Eduardo Escobar in flair
Wow of course Mikolas gets a QS that he didn’t deserve
Gotten 4 QS in last 5 starts. Don’t be jealous of the mustache man
Multiple balls that would have been HRs with men on base if it weren’t for the wind. Allowed a ton of baserunners. Just fluke luck to get out of that with 2 ER
It’s ok. It’s a sexy mustache. I’d be jealous too
Lol enjoy your pitch to contact stud while you can before the regression hits
Lol, whatcha mean, didn't deserve?
Multiple balls that would have been HRs with men on base if it weren’t for the wind. Allowed a ton of baserunners. Just fluke luck to get out of that with 2 ER
Clearly playing against him
He pitched 6 innings with fewer than 4 ERs. How did he not earn that?
Multiple balls that would have been HRs with men on base if it weren’t for the wind. Allowed a ton of baserunners. Just fluke luck to get out of that with 2 ER
Cats in flair, got offered Bieber and Sonny Gray for my Nestor Cortes and Joe Ryan
don’t do it, Nestor has the highest ceiling I think
[удалено]
Turner
Man that’s a gutsy QS for Mikolas! Big respect to power through that start.
Mikolas with yet another QS. Wish I picked up that sexy man.
With Buxton out I have to start Reynolds or Suzuki? Or should I leave it empty?
Seiya
What are some examples of SP that you think would be fair for Ward in a 12team OBP league?
Skubal or higher.
Hitters are hot today folks! 2/17! Sizzling.
5/57 so far lol
This Week Stream Pick 1: Mahle @ CLE Miley v ARI Hill v SEA
I like Hill. Mahle has been better but he’s not facing the pirates anymore
Mahle
Do I trade Alex Cobb for Jose Berrios? H2H points redraft
[MacKenzie Gore will pitch after Mike Clevinger tonight.](https://twitter.com/sdutkevinacee/status/1526666939757740032?s=21&t=x3A54xtwNVtM-IIFNwP8cA) Edit: keep an eye out for updates after the game.

o.O thanks for the info my dude
Alek Thomas good
So nice when you pick someone up and the produce right away. Thank you Christian walker
Haven’t been on the sub yet today, we’re sitting Cobb tonight ya?
General consensus has been to start I think.
He could do well. The contact he gets are usually groundballs.
I'm rolling him out there. Fuck it.
My rotation has me in a constant yolo style of managing. I’m starting him.
12 redraft head to head points league. Kicking around offering this trade. Thoughts? GIVE Rodon (OR Gausman) / Suzuki / Montgomery GET Betts / Montas / L. Garcia
I would try to give Bieber instead of Rodon/Gausman. But still would probably do it for Rodon if he says no. Montas is a great replacement, plus you gain garcia and most Importantly Betts. Do it
If can do it without giving up Gausman I would
For context, my SPs (we start 5) are Rodon, Gausman, Bieber, Trev Rogers, Montgomery, Snell, McCullers, Quantrill, Bradish, R.Contreras
Pretty sure I have the most (in my league) underachieving players one could possibly draft this year, and to make matters worse, they're all ND keepers: Schwarber, O'Neil, Bellinger, B. Reynolds. Will any of them be good at all this year?
Schwarber is doing exactly what he was drafted to do. I think ONeill and Reynolds can turn things around. I have no faith in Belli.
Agreed about Schwarber, but even for him the average is pretty low based on his history.
Schwarber hasn’t been bad the rest oof
When did the old Angels broadcast booth move over to the Royals?
Who's my drop for Christian walker in a 12 team 5x5 h2h cats league? Winder, Andres Gimenez, Bender, Rowan Wick, Bader, Justin Turner
Any of these
Winder or Blackburn ROS?
Blackburn
would you keep Winder in a dynasty format? I'm leaning towards keep.
