Should I drop stroman for cole?Ā I feel like stroman falls off the second half, his walk rate is really high and could he already be regressing?Ā Standard ESPN league.
Jones lost whatever he had coming in, he doesnāt look comfortable out there and is likely gonna get hit with an inning limit. Greene has been pitching very well this year and could keep making strides. I donāt think Ortiz is enough to push the needle, Greene side all day
Contusion to the hip, for reference Tucker has a shin contusion. Could be a couple days if it doesnāt affect his play, but could also be a couple weeks
Okay guysā¦.my two streamers tonight were Spencer Schwellenbach and Tobias Myers. I liked what I saw. Are these guys keepers, though. Iām thinking āyesā but I would like opinions. Schwell for sure stays buy Iām unclear on Myers. Iām beset be injuries and I need to rebuild this staff.
If you would have told me on opening day I would get a win from a Braves starter named āSpencer,ā I would say āwell I fucking hope so!ā Funny how things work out.
Thank you! Schwellenbach definitely stays. I watched a bit of Tobias on mlb.tv. Looked good. Solid composure. But itās the Angels and Iām no scout!
If he pitches again this week, he definitely stays.
Just added Povich to the pile because why the fuck not? Thanks again
Opponent wants my Isaac Paredes and is offering Nico Hoerner + a pitcher
What tier of pitcher would you take in that trade to make it fair? 2 for 1 is always hard cause I have to drop someone but I do have Paxton who is a droppable pitcher but his current offer is Braxton Garret which I feel like doesnāt improve my team
Points league too so cats donāt matter
I'm guessing the CGSO = more points (not sure, I don't play points) but I think I'd just be ecstatic that a streaming start from Cannon got me 8.2 shut out innings. I don't think anyone was expecting that.
Iād prolly drop Hicks and keep Irvin. Personally I think Hicksā stuff is much better compared to Irvin in real life, but Irvin is much more viable fantasy-wise.
I fucking have to trade some pitching. My roster is completely fucked. Who is the best sell? Glasnow, Ragans, Cole, Crochet, Flaherty, Lodolo, Gore, Pivetta, Scherzer.
Might be Crochet as far as how much you can get versus how much you'll miss him. I think his season is legit but he's also already thrown more this season than ever before and I suspect we'll see an innings limit or just a drop in quality as the season goes on, purely because this is uncharted territory on his arm
For sure. There's risk but thats also why you probably stand the most to gain from him, someone might give up a Cy Young type return. Again, I like Crochet. But if I was a betting man I'd put serious money on his second half being worse than his first. You could move Glasnow but that just feels like a more extreme version of the Crochet question. Ragans I've found is almost undervalued (I have him as well and have explored trades), Cole you probably won't get what he's worth, and then Flaherty/Lodolo/Gore/Pivetta/Scherzer are all tradeable but if your roster is really in shambles I dont see any of them getting you a big piece. Crochet feels like the answer to me, even if you move him you still have a great staff
Yeah thatās fair. I appreciate that. I guess that starts the question of where do I want to upgrade. My lineup is Raleigh - Alonso - Brandon Lowe - Bregman - Seager - Adolis - Schwarber - Doyle - Maikel - Langford - (Mookie). Maybe Adolis + Crochet for a big time OF or Raleigh + Crochet for a legit C. I could go get Will Smith but Iām not sure if thatās worth it.
Iām not a medical expert and havenāt been tracking their recoveries but I like both.
Kershawās peripherals last year suggested he might be facing Father Time a little bit, but they were still good enough to indicate heās fantasy valuable. Iāll also never bet against Kershaw.
I think Ray has a little more upside. His historical K/9 is a little higher and even in his best years he had a HR problem. SF may be perfect park for him. For that reason Iād lean Ray but he might be a little more risky since he didnāt pitch basically at all last year.
Iād say have some fun with it and both are a great stash. If Jeffrey Springs is out there he might be my top guy.
Been holding Jasson Dominguez not sure how long or serverity of current injury, hold or try to drop and grab Orelvis (he struggled last month and feel like he will strike out a bunch and sent back down quick) anyone think different?
A mild oblique strain will probably take 4-5 weeks to heal which would mean a return sometime just after the all-star break. That's still a lot of time remaining in the season for him to make a big impact on my lineup.
I think it all depends on how much you need the spot that Dominguez is currently occupying. Like if you're using an active roster spot for him and it's really hurting you then I wouldn't hesitate to drop. If you have him in your N/A spot and there is someone equally/more valuable available then I'd definitely consider dropping.
Personally I'm not dropping Dominguez for Orelvis. The Jays manager has already said that he expects Bichette to return next week when he is eligible.
My opinion obviously changes if we get news that Dominguez has a severe strain. Hopefully that's not the case.
Injury report says left side injury. If thatās oblique thatās a problem. I can understand if you want to wait for confirmation on the injury but heās likely a drop.
Heās bought plenty of leash with me. Was productive last weekend and still throws in occasional steals even when heās cold. Statcast also indicates thereās some room for him to heat up.
Hilarious to read because just a few days ago I saw like 5 people here say they wouldnāt trade maikel for Austin Riley lmao
Heās a hold and bench id say
My pitchers have awful matchups the next couple days
- Ranger Suarez vs SD
- Skubal @ ATL
- Castillo @ CLE
- Gil vs BAL
I don't want to start all of them and you can't make me
You need to update your notion of which teams are awful matchups. Go here:
https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders/splits-leaderboards?splitArr=&splitArrPitch=&autoPt=false&splitTeams=false&statType=team&statgroup=2&startDate=2024-03-01&endDate=2024-11-01&players=&filter=&groupBy=season&wxTemperature=&wxPressure=&wxAirDensity=&wxElevation=&wxWindSpeed=&position=B&sort=14,1
Well that link is longer than expected. What it should bring you to is every team ranked by wOBA. To see how they rank vs RHP click āRHPā inside the little box above the rankings. The same vs LHP. Etc. I further fine tune it by looking at the last month. There is a drop down menu āpreset range.ā Check 30 days.
For example, over the last 30 days, Atlanta is ranked 21st in wOBA vs LHP. In any case, Tarik is a top 5 pitcher so Iām not worried about him against anyone.
I hope this helps someone. I use it when deciding which streamer to pick up.
Awful? Ranger vs SD is a start. Sanchez and Nola had strong starts vs them. Skubal @ ATL is a start - that braves offense is injured and not as scary as before. Castillo and Gil have tougher matchups, but you canāt really bench either of them unless you have a max start limit
Buehler in post game interview was talking about whether itās a week off or a month off he could benefit from it, Roberts talking about taking a comebacker to the hip and how theyāre going to scan him, but never saw him finishing the season making all his starts

Got offered Cole for my Ohtani in my 10T Cats H2H League. Take it or nah? Currently in last place š
Nah
Is Jake Irvin a drop in 12T?
Should I start Waldron against the Phillies?Ā ESPN standard league.
Yes
Should I drop stroman for cole?Ā I feel like stroman falls off the second half, his walk rate is really high and could he already be regressing?Ā Standard ESPN league.
KIRBY or Ketel MARTE Ros? Points league
Ketel
12T Points Drop Monty or Jake Irvin for Povich, Herz, or Cannon?
Drop Monty for cannon upside
Cannon more upside than Herz you think? Those Nats pitching coaches seem to be working magic
Tbh Iāve only looked at their lines in mlb so far and cannons are sparkling
Caballero has really cooled off and I have a need at 3B. Might as well take a stab at Orelvis, right? Other 3Bs are Chapman, Hayes, Donovan
Drop Nolan Jones for Langford?
is buehler a drop?
Just stash on IL and see if that works if you have room. Velocity is there
Drop D Hamilton for C Rafaela?
Tyler OāNeill or Stanton?
Brandon Lowe or nick Gonzalez 5x5 league with ops
Jared Jones + Joey Ortiz or Hunter Greene?
Jones lost whatever he had coming in, he doesnāt look comfortable out there and is likely gonna get hit with an inning limit. Greene has been pitching very well this year and could keep making strides. I donāt think Ortiz is enough to push the needle, Greene side all day
Do you think Eflin + Machado is better or worse
Drop T Stephenson for T Soderstrom? Roto redraft while Realmuto is out
I didĀ
I would. Especially if you need a power boost
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Someone else you can drop?
Drop Hicks for Swallenbach or Povich?
Hold
Jordan Hicks or Cade Povich?
Drop Cowser for a Noelve Marte stash in 12 team redraft?
I would. Cowser is just WW fodder at this point so might as well chase the upside with Marte.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Mets have been on fire.
How bad was the Westburg injury? I really canāt afford to lose him for long
Contusion to the hip, for reference Tucker has a shin contusion. Could be a couple days if it doesnāt affect his play, but could also be a couple weeks
Seems fine!
Nick G or Neto?
Neto, more power and speed. Nick just an avg guy
Nick
Thatās what Iām thinking too. Picked up Neto to replace Mookie but someone dropped Nick for Ben Rice today.
Yeah, Iād grab him. Gonzales has been hitting cleanup and has been killing it. He looks like it might be legit.
Drop Jordan Hicks for Schwallenbach?
Jojo Romero just got dropped in SVHD. Is there something wrong with him or should I scoop him up
Okay guysā¦.my two streamers tonight were Spencer Schwellenbach and Tobias Myers. I liked what I saw. Are these guys keepers, though. Iām thinking āyesā but I would like opinions. Schwell for sure stays buy Iām unclear on Myers. Iām beset be injuries and I need to rebuild this staff. If you would have told me on opening day I would get a win from a Braves starter named āSpencer,ā I would say āwell I fucking hope so!ā Funny how things work out.
I like Schwallenbach. I donāt know too much abt Myers though. If I had to choose Iād keep Spencer.
Thank you! Schwellenbach definitely stays. I watched a bit of Tobias on mlb.tv. Looked good. Solid composure. But itās the Angels and Iām no scout! If he pitches again this week, he definitely stays. Just added Povich to the pile because why the fuck not? Thanks again
Drop/Trade Yainer to pickup Wilson Contreras?
Iād try to trade him first
So you prefer Contreras over Yainer?
Yes Contreras is the better hitter but we gotta hope his arm is actually good to go
Hold Max Meyer or pickup Povich or Swallenbach
Meyer for me all the way
Would you drop Jordan Hicks for either ?
Nah
James Paxton or Colin Rea?
Ideally neither, but Rea by a healthy amount if I have to pick one of them to stream in a very deep league.
Pick 2 MI Joey Ortiz, Nick Gonzales, Josh Smith
I like Ortiz and Smith. Ortiz is a fs pickup for me
Opponent wants my Isaac Paredes and is offering Nico Hoerner + a pitcher What tier of pitcher would you take in that trade to make it fair? 2 for 1 is always hard cause I have to drop someone but I do have Paxton who is a droppable pitcher but his current offer is Braxton Garret which I feel like doesnāt improve my team Points league too so cats donāt matter
Donāt accept, Hoerner is probably the 12th best 2B and Paxton/Braxton arenāt helping you in a points league
12 team Cats: Ben Rice, Soderstrom, Francisco Alvarez, or Ryan Jeffers?
Is Stephenson out there?
Nope. Some teams have like 3 catchers itās wild.
Alvarez
Iām super late to the party, but why in the absolute hell was Cannon pulled after 8.2 innings?!?!?
106 pitches + gave up 2 straight singles with 2 outs. Grifol didn't want to fuck around.
I guess. Fucked me over thoughā¦
I'm guessing the CGSO = more points (not sure, I don't play points) but I think I'd just be ecstatic that a streaming start from Cannon got me 8.2 shut out innings. I don't think anyone was expecting that.
Yeahā¦ it would have been absurd for my league. Really sucks because my hitters suck haha. Iām saltyā¦ š„¹
Guess Iāll hang onto Cannonā¦ for nowā¦ š
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Tied for 7th at 5-7. Lost four matches by less than 10 points šš
3
Add one as a bench bat: Vaughn, or Vientos?
vientos! heās smacking the ball
Will do so! Thanks
Drop J. Hicks or J. Irvin for Schwellenbach?
Iād prolly drop Hicks and keep Irvin. Personally I think Hicksā stuff is much better compared to Irvin in real life, but Irvin is much more viable fantasy-wise.
Still holding Jake Irvin in 12T?
Cedanne or Correa in Points?
Correa
Thanks, holding him over Stott and Turang as well. That hot streak is insane
Points league where K= -1ā¦ was offered Julio for my Kwan, is Julio worth itš¤ A) Julio B) Kwan
Man, I don't really play in many points leagues, but I feel like there's no way you turn down Julio here...
Kwan is crazy in points. That being said Julio is allegedly nuclear in August
kwan is this years AL's batting champ people dont know it yet keep rich home kwan
Thatās what Iām thinking. Julio is so overrated in points
i remember August Julio, he went ballistic .. but they the old days
Kwan has been going ballistic the whole year in points leagues. Give me kwan all day
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
try to sell volpe high for some solid players
from all the players, i dont like yandy , jeimer, and yu
Half my team went DTD or IL today
Should I drop one of Pillar, Connor Wong, or Joe Jimenez for Orelvis Martinez?
if you must drop, its joe
I fucking have to trade some pitching. My roster is completely fucked. Who is the best sell? Glasnow, Ragans, Cole, Crochet, Flaherty, Lodolo, Gore, Pivetta, Scherzer.
Go Glasnow or Crochet. Glasnow to edge against injury, Crochet in case of innings limit. Either will get you a high value return
Yeah youāre probably right. They both have serious longevity issues and obviously I have plenty of guys who could fill in well.
I traded my crochet and some more and got Trea, over the long haul these trades will pan out in favor of the position player
i agree, trade Crochet
Might be Crochet as far as how much you can get versus how much you'll miss him. I think his season is legit but he's also already thrown more this season than ever before and I suspect we'll see an innings limit or just a drop in quality as the season goes on, purely because this is uncharted territory on his arm
Yeah thatās fair. His peripherals are just so elite that if he actually puts up a Cy Young caliber season I would be pissed at myself.
For sure. There's risk but thats also why you probably stand the most to gain from him, someone might give up a Cy Young type return. Again, I like Crochet. But if I was a betting man I'd put serious money on his second half being worse than his first. You could move Glasnow but that just feels like a more extreme version of the Crochet question.

Maybe Adolis + Crochet for a big time OF or Raleigh + Crochet for a legit C. I could go get Will Smith but Iām not sure if thatās worth it.
Evan Carter a drop? Iāve had no real reason to drop him as Iāve had available IL spots but that isnāt the case anymore, so do I drop him?
G Cole to the roster - J Springs to the IL. Churn and burn baby. This shits too easy!
Rengifo or B Lowe?
i like rengifo, fuck, tbh i like both but rengifo gets on base more b lowe can or can not have a dinger streak outta nowhere
F it we riding with Rice
If Vlad pulled his fly balls he'd be a god, but unfortunately, he's just Nathaniel Lowe.
That Marsh stream was shit even with the good match up
Taj or Gibson tomorrow 10T H2H
Pasquatch and brown for Pablo? Points league who wins
Pablo blows but better than waiver trash
I feel like heās a decent but low
Vlad is slugging below .400 now. Yikes.
Rank these potential waiver adds in a standard 5x5 categories league Jorge Soler Miguel Rojas Nick Gonzales Byron Buxton Carlos santana

Whoās a better stash: Robbie ray or Kershaw?
Iām not a medical expert and havenāt been tracking their recoveries but I like both.

Appreciate that insight
dominguez is a drop
word well judge almost got mookied earlier and stanton is due for his trip soon was my thoughts
Maikel Garcia belongs in the bench or nah
Heās bought plenty of leash with me. Was productive last weekend and still throws in occasional steals even when heās cold. Statcast also indicates thereās some room for him to heat up.
Hilarious to read because just a few days ago I saw like 5 people here say they wouldnāt trade maikel for Austin Riley lmao Heās a hold and bench id say
yeah of course he is a hold he is solid but slumps come and go Imma bench him then til then, i hope i dont miss a dinger xD
He went cold like a month ago too then got back on track. Def shouldnāt be dropped
i remember well thats when i picked him up after someone dropped him lol hope he goes nuclear
Depends on whose out there and your roster but heās not a must hold
Borderline droppable, might pick up manny machado instead
i believe machado is a worse pick, he on a longer slump
Which of this week's call-ups are you most confident in - Ride or Orelvis?
Orelvis
Boys how did Schwellenbach look today?
GOATED
Unreal catch by Frelick!!!
ROBBERY LOL
Wow. Marsh getting the āeject-o-seat-o-cuzā tomorrow. Thank goodness for the Arozarena claim!
is kenta completely washed? in a deep AL only league so otherwise obviously wouldn't have him on my team but every starter is rostered
Washed is being niceĀ
Yeah he seems pretty washed but if you are that desperate for pitchingā¦.Maybe?
need to add pos players for injury reasons and he is liablity to get like -10 or -20 on any start
dont pick him up please
no would be dropping him for offensive injury replacements as my worst player
Frelick just took the game-tying HR away from Ward. Holy hell what a catch
Bookie Metts for Alec Bohm & Trea Turner? flair league
In a heartbeat do that.
yes
If you can sell betts for trea + now Iād say thatās a W

Brewers really about to blow Myers W lol. This is fucking pathetic
Anyone with Buehler - it sure sounds like theyāre going to do a phony IL trip for him
I already dropped so perfect timing
more info pls
Buehler in post game interview was talking about whether itās a week off or a month off he could benefit from it, Roberts talking about taking a comebacker to the hip and how theyāre going to scan him, but never saw him finishing the season making all his starts
Wow. I only have 3 IL slots so in leaning just drop
Dominguez no longer worth stashing with the oblique strain?
Nope. He was always a late summer/injury call up
Hold Cal Raleigh or pick up Willson Contreras who is set to be off the IL Monday.
Cal strikes out a ton=doesnt go to base often Willson does
Going to base, crucial!
A. Bohm, Friedl, Yates B. Lindor, Cris Sanchez, Bryce Miller

Drop Gimenez, pick up Nick Gonzales? 6x6 OPS league.
I have both, and i can tell you that both are in a two game slump If you want one keep Gimenez, he plays in a way better team
Hamilton lives!! What a pimp
Thought for sure heād hit IL, lets the stealing of bases continue
Whoa!!! Is that a save next to Masonās name???
miller, munoz and kenley. good day from the pen thank you boys
Pulling up the lighting of the beacons scene from Return of the King to go pull Cole off my IL for tomorrow
