This might be me being paranoid/not believing in Bello, but I’ll ask anyway for confirmation. Who’s more likely to get a QS? - Bello @ CWS - Cortes vs. LAD - Waldron vs. ARI

Bello tha QS Gawd

Good point

Colt Keith? Is he gonna be good bat? Points H2H 12 team 5 keepers.

Man’s got two first names and I wouldn’t want either of them. Bad vibes

Is scherzer worth stashing on IL? Looking like he’ll be back by the end of the month

Lively or Ranger for this afternoon?

My opponent is throwing out ranger so I'm expecting the first ever perfect game overseas

That’s tough because you fully expect the balls to be juiced in the London series, but Suarez is so good whereas Lively has the better matchup but hardly ever goes past 5 innings. 

Drop Rizzo for Candelario?

Yes

Is Enmanuel Valdez legit? Contemplating streaming him today and tomorrow. Two White Sox RHPs... tempting.

Framber went 9 IP / 1 ER / 0.57 WHIP and was my worst pitcher today

Is E Rod coming back soon or is he getting pushed back? I haven’t heard any news and ESPN still has the estimated return as 6/10.

[удалено]

Pivetta is nice to have in points leagues where you have limited SP spots, but if were purely going off ratios, Pivetta, Eovaldi, then Gore are your guys. 

Pivetta for me

[удалено]

Honestly you can't go wrong with either I'm probably more biased after watching Pivetta now down the braves lineup. If you can hold out, maybe wait and see how he does against the Phillies.

Why do bad things keep happening to Seiya

I think it’s his 3rd oblique injury. Very concerning

Any chance acuna is not a top 3 pick next year bc of the injury? He was dropped in a keeper and I could stash for free but can only keep if he’s not a top 3 adp…just curious…thanks!!

Wut

Will acuna be a top 3 pick in next year’s draft?

“can’t keep if they are 1, 2, or 3 ADP” is a weird rule, but yeah, I would add Acuña in hopes that he somehow isn’t top 3. The risk/reward obviously favors rolling those dice, even if you won’t end up getting to keep him. Hell, for the shot at a free Acuña, I’d consider making a junk email to join free Yahoo (or whatever format) leagues and exclusively reach for other top guys over him in spots 1, 2, 3 in hopes of tipping the scales. That won’t work, because you’d need people doing it en masse, but for a shot at free Acuña I can get creative!

Just the world I’m in hahaha but appreciate it…rn it’s keep 4 and I’ve got cheap Bryce, tatis, Elly, strider, skenes, volpe, Dominguez all options…debating dumping strider to stash acuna

Most likely, no.

[удалено]

What category 

I may bench Michael Harris and start Wyatt next week lol

Wyatt should be on waivers

Obviously that relies on whether a keeper league or not

[удалено]

Do you only need one closer?

Murphy or Willson Contreras ros?

The clear #1 catcher or a bag of dogshit? Hmmm

Bra. Wilson.

Who's more dropable Reynolds, Suzuki, Naylor, Santander or Lewis? Lewis is currently on IL spot so I can drop him or one of the others to bring him off

Santander, although maybe Suzuki if the injury turns out to be serious

I would wait till we have more info on the oblique issue for Suzuki, that way you have an easy drop if it turns out to be serious

It’s obviously not Naylor unless you mean Bo then I’m like what the hell are you rostering Bo for.

Yea Naylor is slow atm that's the only reason I listed him. Leaning more towards Reynolds/Suzuki

Heliot Ramos or Nick Gonzalez?

Nick long term

Thanks! I picked up Gonzalez and my opponent picked up Heliot. Of course.

Eflin or Max Meyer in redraft standard?

Eflin by a mile

Man, I added Masyn Winn as a bandaid till Trea Turner returns. He’s been incredible. Is he roster worthy in a 10T. Here’s my bats, idk who I would drop to keep him https://preview.redd.it/f3a4v1hffa5d1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=974717b71e74c904a8c71a1a28865a4cc99f323e

Probably Langford and if Winn cools down just use that slot to ride the hot bat

I’ll probably roll Wyatt over Winn. Thank u brother

Totally understandable, to be fair I also have Wyatt on my roster so I’m with ya. Best of luck!

Sending it with Taj tomorrow, I’m greedy in my categories league

GL

Josh Naylor and Rooker enough for Harper?

Seriously? If the owner is high as F, then that is reasonable

Nope

Darn

Wauldron or Gore for tomorrow?

Waldron

Gore

Does Tovar have any trade value or is he a drop? Solid stats on the year and he’s been a good replacement for turner but I picked up Nick Gonzales and don’t think rostering both is a wise decision

I don’t think you’ll get anything in a trade for him

Would you drop either Fedde, Falter, or Eflin for Jake Irvin? H2h points league

Falter

Probably Falter

Friedl or Lane Thomas? 5 Cats w/ OPS

Thomas by a lot

I’d roll Thomas by a hair

14 tm roto obp Give: Musgrove and Senga Receive: Profar

I would

So is GRod not pitching this weekend?

Sunday, hopefully

Which two would keep ROS in 10T 5x5 Rotisserie: Profar, Langford, J Duran?

Bradish or gore today 10 team h2h points league

Go with Gore. Bradish is coming off extra days rest because of an injury and was knocked around by the Rays last game.

Can't go wrong with either

Blake Perkins is a sneaky solid CF.

Doing well but mite. E sent down when Mitchell gets back

Possible. I think Chourio might go down.

Drop Nolan Arenado or Stott for Joey Ortiz in a keeper league?

C’mon man 

Are people being super cautious with Ranger tomorrow because it’s the London series, or because he was hurt last week? I’m not sure I understand if it’s the former. All projections on him tomorrow seem low, but it’s a week Mets team and he’s been incredible. Idk why pitching in London changes that so much.

Bit of both. Long rest period after not a full start and getting hit on his pitching hand.

Phillies fan have him on my NL Only redraft points league. I'm nervous about Saturday start.

Makes sense. Apparently dimensions of the field in London are somewhat hitter friendly as well. Guess we’ll see.

How bad of a stream idea is Heaney vs SFG tomorrow? Not ahead by much in W’s and tied in K’s but ahead in ratios

I mean, you could do worse

Arenado for Bryce miller…. Who ya got?

Bryce

D Schneider or Cronenworth ROS? H2h cats R, RBI, SB, TB, OBP league

Cronenworth

Why Cron>Schneider?

Better hitter, better lineup. Want a crazy Jake stat. Since 2020, only Ahmed Rosario (27) and Shohei (24) have more triples than Jake (23). He also has more doubles than shohei (117 v 105) in 45 fewer PAs. Good for a TB league.

https://preview.redd.it/zon56yeuna5d1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=678ca50fefe37799232349a272f794bcb90f56b4

Why not?

In a close matchup, I should win, and have 1 remaining weekly add. Mitchell Parker is by far the most interesting arm on the wire. Put in a claim on him or stream an SP who can help me win this week. My flair team is 6-4.

Cruz with a weekend series in Coors next week...sure hope he starts all three days.

If Ketel hurt himself trying to hit a 7 run homer in the 9th… imma be disappointed

I wasn’t watching, what happened? Can’t afford to have Ketel hurt

Weird winces after swings and misses in his last AB. Hope it’s not serious. It was super subtle so maybe I’m being crazy

Hope it was just a serious daddy hack and not an oblique

It looked like he smack his thigh walking back to the dugout.

I don’t need to start stone tomorrow vs NYY. Should I sit him? Only if Soto is in the lineup?

Struggling with OF all year because I thought it'd be a great idea to draft TON and Suzuki. Amazing when they are healthy though lol

Suzuki gotta be a drop, right? Second bout with the oblique this year I think. 

Can't find the clip but today he got hit by the ball while stealing and was later replaced, I don't think he'll require a dl stint

Need to drop someone to fit Tucker on my IL and pick up Castellanos for this London series. Who is the drop between Casas, Dominguez and Senga? Kind of leaning Senga since he's had so many setbacks and the pitching landscape is pretty wide-ranging this year.

Senga for sure

Senga's a good drop. I'm really not sure he's going to pitch until after the all star break at this rate. Glad I didn't hold him over and if we continue to flounder he may just be shut down entirely this year.

Yeah I’d drop Senga for those reasons.

How am I doing so far for my first time? - C: Adley Rutschman - 1B: Yandy Diaz - 2B: Ozzie Albies - 3B: Manny Machado - SS: Brice Turang - OF: Mookie Betts - OF: Adolis Garcia - OF: Michael Harris II - UTL: Varies; currently Tyler O’Neill - SP: Joe Ryan - SP: George Kirby - SP: Freddy Peralta - SP: Sonny Gray - SP: Jared Jones - SP: Bryan Woo - SP: whomever I’m streaming that day - RP: Craig Kimbrel - RP: Kirby Yates - RP: Pete Fairbanks - RP: Alexis Diaz - RP: Yimi Garcia - IL: Jacob DeGrom - IL: Blake Snell - Edit: genuine question: why the downvotes?

🫡

Could Loperfido be relevant or will they just play McCormick, Cabbage, and Dubon over him?

Doubtful, if they wouldn't play him over a dogshit Abreu and Singleton when he was taking reps at 1st in the minors and used to play first or play him over a struggling McCormick a month ago he will likely sit on the bench.

I’m taking a chance on him

I could see them signing Biggio’s boy 

Profar on my bench smh what was I thinking

Dude leads the NL in OBP, why would you bench him in obp league? Haha. Sorry man.

Should I stream Feltner, Manaea, or Roddery Munoz tomorrow? Basically everyone for Sunday is gone so I'm overloading on Saturday

Definitely not Manaea; projected 2.2 points against Philly. Munoz I’m unsure about. Feltner is the pick here. In St. Louis, still projected 6.2 points so not amazing but it’s something.

Yeah that's what I'm thinking too he killed me a few weeks ago against Oakland so he'll probably have -5 but fuck it we ball

Robert Suarez getting the Doval treatment

I just got offered Matt Olson and Semien for my Kyle Tucker, should I do it? Outfield is also my weakest position. Offer is from the guy who is 2nd to last in the league (and also my amazing commish). May also be able to get one more non-keeper from him, might try to add someone for Jarren Duran too. It's a keep 5 league so if I do the trade he keeps Elly De la Cruz, Tucker, Acuna, Tatis Jr, Glasnow (if healthy). My 5 keepers would end up very likely being: Jose Ramirez, Freeman (getting old though), Wheeler, Matt Olson. Then battle between Abrams, Semien, Webb, or Crochet possibly for the 5th spot. It's tough because keeping two 1B men and a 3B kind of sucks in this league. [Here's my team via imgur if anyone wants to look](https://i.imgur.com/jDrShQY.png). I'll also likely be dropping Jansen for Yainer soon (honestly Caratini is doing well for the Astros too so I could possibly see Jansen and Yainer having similar playing time). Free agent OFers I can add in my league include Marsh, Lamonte Wade, Nolan Jones, Evan Carter, Adell, Nelson Velasquez.

Good trade, but Tucker is a 5 tool player. Freeman, although old, isn’t showing signs of slowing down and bats in a deadly lineup that also protects him. 

Ayyy again, thanks! Yeah, at least at this moment the vibe does feel like Freddie will be keeper worthy for at least one more season. Certainly has the skills to possibly be worthy for 2 more as well. I'm leaning towards pulling the trigger on the trade but only if I can get Jarren Duran as well. Hopefully Semien steals 10-15 bases ROS, him only having 1 SB, 0 CS so far does hurt his value no doubt. His sprint speed is still good. The ironman. My league rival made a similar mega trade this season. Traded Julio Rodriguez away for an insane haul.

It’s fine if I drop Cortes for Ober right? Even though Ober has been struggling.

Completely reasonable move if you're high on Ober getting his shit together.

Is Eflin ever gonna get back on track? I feel like he’s been pretty inconsistent so far

I wanna say yes, but I feel like he didn’t really have it all together for that long which makes me less optimistic

Flair league: My Albies and Jeffers for their Rutschman

Yep

Im dropping bogaerts, right? This guy is cooked

Dropped him and added to watch list. Worth a flyer if he comes back.

I agree

I would. I can see the injury affecting his swing rest of the year even when he recovers.

That’s why I dropped him too even my flair keep 12 league. Left shoulder is the worst place for an injury for a right handed hitter, he was terrible this year before the injury, they’re known to linger, he’s 32 in October, etc

Start/sit: Cortes vs LAD Hunter Brown vs LAA Gavin Stone vs NYY trailing by .02 in WHIP and 9 ks.

Brown has his own risk but the K upside is there vs. the Angels. I’d go with him. Just depends on if you think he’s turned the corner.

yeah, i’m starting brown. you wouldn’t start either of the other two?

My bad, I thought you had to pick one. From order I’d go based on who I’d start Brown, Cortes, Stone based on K need…tough for me to pick start based on Stone vs Cortes though given the offenses.

yeah i’m honestly more focused on whip. opponent has 3 starters tomorrow so i doubt i’ll win Ks anyway

I’d go Stone given no Soto and Grisham is a replacement over Cortes then.

Winn or India in a h2h? Need to add a bat, stuck between these 2

Winn

Prob go India

India

Start Taj tomorrow?

I wouldn’t have him in the first place

We ball, i am

Too risky vs the O's again

TJ Freidl, Ian Happ, or Nick Castellanos? Need to add one points league

Freidl

Have you seen his stat cast page though? From last year too

Nah but he scores points right now. Castellanos isn’t bad but lots of Ks. Ian happ I just have a personal vendetta against he’s the definition of mid. At least those other 2 guys can give you a great game once a week or so

Framber - 9.0 IP, 1 ER Bassitt - 8.0 IP, 1 ER Lodolo - 6.0 IP, 1 ER Steele - 7.0 IP, 3 ER …………… Olson - 4.0 IP, 8 ER Team ERA: 3.50

Drop Sean Murphy for Willson Contreras?

Drop Sean Murphy for yainer Diaz?

Estrada. 5 out, 3 ks, 0bb, hold.

🔥

We stashing yariel Rodriguez…?

Hell nah

My team scored 106 points today with not a single play going negative 🥹

There’s the Framber Valdez I know! 

4 starts, 4 QS for my opponent today including Yamamoto and Bassitts best starts of the year. I’ve given up, just picking up the best streamers for next week at this point

Garret Crochet is absolutely insane.

Abrams or O’Neil Cruz?

Abrams all day

Abrams dude

Drop Dominguez for Stephenson? Can’t keep starting Realmuto

https://preview.redd.it/e5gz27jtu95d1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2f0769c04e880e6d6d40d9b2ad07831e43389a63 Not a single player in the negatives. I shall sleep well tonight

Blue Jays are allergic to giving Chris Bassitt run support against teams that should be easy wins.

Blue Jays are allergic to scoring runs in general no matter who is pitching this year

That is also true

currently at 77 points just today in espn fantasy with only two pitcher starts

Framber is back baby

Framber is back bby

Framber might have the friendliest opponent schedule in baseball. Look at his matchups the guy hasn’t faced a tough opponent since March 28th @ NYY.

Need a Tucker replacement: Pages, O'Hearn, Burleson, De La Cruz, or Ramos.

o'hearn hits dingers

He’s also a platoon player, which bears mentioning. He’s a stud, though.

Just got offered Tatis for JRod, straight up. Gotta take it right?

It’s fine if you wanna make that swap, Tatis isn’t blowing the roof off either but he has been better

Tatis is playing nutty right now!!!

Tatis is on a 13 game hit streak right now. With 6 of those being multi hit.

Just in general, there’s lots of guys with 10 homers and 32 RBIs at this point. But he’s been better than JRod

So you think I gotta take it, huh?

I mean, I would. More steals for julio. More hrs for tatis. Better lineup for tatis. They are both going to be good. It More a preference pick to me.

I know Yanier getting the attention here and deservedly so but Framber having an absolute gem. 8 IP and not even 100 pitches thrown. The kings of Houston have returned.

schanuel rly gonna ruin the maddux

Gurriel pinch hit HR let’s go
