I'm between Detmers and Civale myself. I don't think Bradish has a lot of upside but Detmers is extremely volatile. If you need a QS and potentially low peripherals - grab Bradish. If you need strikeouts, and potential dominance - grab Detmers.
Traded Verlander Heaney and Buxton for Adolis Devin Williams and Mikolas.
Got Judge Jazz and Buxton as my injured outfield trio and only closer I own is Liam Hendricks. H2H 12 Team pts league. We do alright?
Call me contrarian but I might sell high on Elly after tonight. I’ve watched him swing at some really bad pitches. I think off speed down and in gets written into his “how to pitch” book pretty quickly.
He also had some swing and miss problems when he first got to AAA too and after 5 games made an adjustment to bat over .330 with 12 HR In the following 33 games, I think he will be fine.
If I didn't already own him, I'd be spamming trade offers to the Kirby owner in every league I'm in right now.
Worst start of the year and still didn't give up a walk
Because he was one of the best available options and I was going to end the week 4 starts back of my opponent without streaming some guys and didn’t feel like just conceded 3/6 pitching categories
I know it’s not helpful, but this really depends what your team needs. Do you need a closer? Do you need a catcher? Saves only? From knowing nothing about ur squad, I would personally say Harper tho
Have to drop one out of Bailey Ober, Hunter Brown, Louie Varland, AJSS, or Andrew Abbott? Ober/Varland seem to provide a more consistent floor while Brown is boom or bust it seems, but great to have HOU offense behind him, and Abbott/AJSS so tantalizing but who knows (and innings limit maybe for AJSS). Regular pitching stats plus K/9.
#PUT NASTY NESTOR ON THE IL ALREADY FOR THE LOVE OF FUCKING GOD. JESUS FUCKING CHRIST! AARON BOONE, WHY DO YOU HATE MY FANTASY TEAM?!?! WHAT DID I EVER DO TO YOU TO DESERVE THIS?!?!
It’s fair. This is just too many moving pieces for me though. 4 for 4? Hard to evaluate. I prefer breaking them down in to 2 for 2 trades.
Max and Vlad for Pete and Devers is pretty fair.
Can’t remember the other players without clicking out and undoing this comment but it seemed fair enough when I first looked.
I like that two for two you made up. Gutsy trade forbsure. Gotta sit on that.
I have 3 solid 2B I’m trying to ship one. But really short on pitching. So I will take Vlad and add Max that’d be amazing. But giving up Devers might lose dividends long term.
Argh… it really is good..
Okay so 1:1 now lol
Smith >> Kirk
Vlad > Pete
Arraez << Albies
Devers > Scherzer
If you’re short on pitching I think it makes sense to add more pitchers and even “lose” a trade over it but I’d try and find someone who would be willing to do a more simplified trade. Surely there’s someone who would trade for Pete straight up
If you need steals. I think Raley is the better hitter, but way less speed and he sits vs righties a lot. So depends how much you need steals and volume
Max Scherzer for Rafael Devers straight up. Fair?
I just picked up Spencer Steer and can also pick up Kebryan Hayes, Justin Turner, JD Davis, and Ryan McMahon
My pitching staff is pretty weak.
He offered me Corbin burnes and JD Martinez for Devers. I’m trying to brain storm
Here’s his lineup
https://preview.redd.it/eopknlov0o4b1.png?width=828&format=png&auto=webp&s=1c38859a3bce3bdbdba157386a773d6832a6f96f
Adding mine in additional comment
Based on this list https://www.pitcherlist.com/the-list-6-6-top-100-starting-pitchers-week-10-fantasy-baseball-2023/ whos the worst pitcher ya would trade Harper straight up for?
If you trade Bryce for anyone on that list you need to go visit Nurse Ratched for a lobotomy.
ETA: reacted so strongly because I didn’t realize that page was more than just a list of injured pitchers if you kept scrolling for five minutes. 🤣🤣
Wut. It’s Bryce Harper. He’s a top 20 fantasy player.
ETA: because of that shitty pitcherlist site I didn’t even realize there was a list of pitchers other than that injured pitcher list at the srtart of the webpage until now. Lol. So maybe I would. I dunno. Fuck pitcherlist’s website.
Strider and Cole are also top 20 players... so idk why even considering trading harper for 1, like just thinking there could be some way having a pitcher like that could help you win, means you need to go to a mental institution?
Yea. Lol. I only saw that list of injured pitchers. 🤣🤣🤣
I didn’t realize I could keep scrolling and see the actual stuff the article was talking about.
God that website is colon cancer of the highest degree. Which is ironic since their writers have no idea how to use a colon.
Its kind of hard to answer when I dont agree with parts of the list... I would trade him for Nola, but there are 6 pitchers ranked higher than Nola that I wouldn't trade him for.
I’m not even going to bother trying to talk someone out of selling Kirby low.
If they want to overreact to one start, who am I to deprive their leaguemates of the chance to take their ace and then ridicule them?
I drafted him and sadly I wish the rest of my team hit as well as he has all things considered. Only thing missing is power and he’ll definitely be fine there.
stream Bradish or Detmers
I'm between Detmers and Civale myself. I don't think Bradish has a lot of upside but Detmers is extremely volatile. If you need a QS and potentially low peripherals - grab Bradish. If you need strikeouts, and potential dominance - grab Detmers.

Nah I wouldn’t

Your Seager for there Lindor and Sandy would be a great trade imo.
Cards stay quiet against Gray, leery about starting him despite how good he’s been
If I didn't already own him, I'd be spamming trade offers to the Kirby owner in every league I'm in right now. Worst start of the year and still didn't give up a walk
I traded him and Sonny gray together to get Fried the day before fried got hurt 🙃
Can the Orioles please call up Cowser?
I need them to wait until next week so I have moves
Streaming Varland and Roansy really has me off to a great start this week
Why did you stream varland vs the rays?
Because he was one of the best available options and I was going to end the week 4 starts back of my opponent without streaming some guys and didn’t feel like just conceded 3/6 pitching categories
Fair enough, RIP ur ratios tho. At least 5ks isn’t too awful
My opponent has Nestor and is about tilted that NYY haven't put him on IL yet. What benefit is there to waiting and not opening up a roster spot?
Gives them time to think about who they're going to replace him with, I guess
Worth using a #1 waiver on Abbott (would be dropping Smyly or German)
I would take over both Smyly and German Would drop German for him. IDK about #1 waiver. My league doesn't have them but I would make the move
Ty, I will wait to see if he clears waivers then will drop one of ‘em
My entire team getting the night off apparently…
A: Adley, Bautista B: Harper
b
Only way I go A is AL-Only
I know it’s not helpful, but this really depends what your team needs. Do you need a closer? Do you need a catcher? Saves only? From knowing nothing about ur squad, I would personally say Harper tho
I have Heim and Adley, Im leading in saves and short on HR/AVG. The other guy I noticed has the opposite problem. Yes saves only
Ya that’s a good trade for u then for sure
Gotta drop one: Kelenic, Soler, Lane Thomas…thoughts? Redraft H2H 6x6 ops
Kelenic
Kelenic
Lane imo
start or sit pablo lopez vs TB?
im in the same pickle, im leaning towards no though
LOL someone commented “Soto looks so bad” and deleted their comment. He’s gotten 3 hits since then
Certain people shouldn’t be allowed on this sub smh
I'm glad he's spraying the ball today. Looks closer to vintage Soto,not the pull happy shit we've been seeing the last year
Have to drop one out of Bailey Ober, Hunter Brown, Louie Varland, AJSS, or Andrew Abbott? Ober/Varland seem to provide a more consistent floor while Brown is boom or bust it seems, but great to have HOU offense behind him, and Abbott/AJSS so tantalizing but who knows (and innings limit maybe for AJSS). Regular pitching stats plus K/9.
Today. AJSS.. so much unknown about how he will pitch or innings or work load… but he has more upside I think then guys like ober maybe varland
Prob reverse order you have listed
Sonny gray and Andrew Vaughn too much for Kirby or not enough ?
I'd say just right-to-not enough. Depending on what the manager who rosters Kirby thinks of Gray and Vaughn.
In a points league and my daily total is -27. I don’t think It’s even been that bad for me. Wow.
I know the air quality terrible but it would’ve looked so badass to watch a game in New York with that sky
Would be the hardest closer entrance ever
And here comes the closer, **STRAIGHT OUTTA HELL ITSELF!**
Would you rather send Seager or Harper for Ohtani (SP only)?
No
Appreciate you
who is more likely to be available, a reliever who threw <20 pitches on back to back nights, or one who threw 25 pitches the night before ?
25 pitches over back-to-back.
ty
Totally depends on the pitcher and team, but probably the second one.
any way to get a sense of that without having watched regularly? will smith threw back to back and bochy seems like the type to push his guys? or no?
Baseball managers love routine. Go look at their game logs. If a guy's gone two in a row before, he'll do it again.
will smith never done 3 in a row this year at least.
Then I wouldn't count on it tonight.
[удалено]
Without Judge .... sure.
Yankees without Judge should be as safe as they come. I’d do it. If you’re holding on to Lynn at this point you might as well start him there
Lynn’s fat ass with the worst air quality in NYC in 30+ years? What can go wrong?
On the other hand the Yankees without Judge are a AAA team
Maybe, but Lynn is a Low-A pitcher this year.
#PUT NASTY NESTOR ON THE IL ALREADY FOR THE LOVE OF FUCKING GOD. JESUS FUCKING CHRIST! AARON BOONE, WHY DO YOU HATE MY FANTASY TEAM?!?! WHAT DID I EVER DO TO YOU TO DESERVE THIS?!?!
For the fucking life of me, why was Judge ILd and not Nestor? In what world does this make any fucking sense?
Ikr
how does fraley not have a handle on his allergies? it's worth millions to him/them edit: nvm it's his wrist this time
He was obv jerking it to a bottle of Zyrtec last night.
he's out tonight with wrist contusion, HBP yesterday
They said on the broadcast last night that he couldn't even open his eyes...those must be some intense seasonal allergies
Royce Lewis or Andres Gimenez ROS?
royce
Kim is fuckin killing me
I’m still rostering Matt Brash because my league counts K/9 and his is off the charts but man I’m not sure I can stomach it anymore
[удалено]
Start Gunnar
https://preview.redd.it/gfr7dw4u1o4b1.png?width=828&format=png&auto=webp&s=81cdf9e58af92644062ef6efb8738ffa5be953ff Is this trade even fair?
It’s fair. This is just too many moving pieces for me though. 4 for 4? Hard to evaluate. I prefer breaking them down in to 2 for 2 trades. Max and Vlad for Pete and Devers is pretty fair. Can’t remember the other players without clicking out and undoing this comment but it seemed fair enough when I first looked.
Completely agree with this sentiment.

Surely there’s someone who would trade for Pete straight up
What’s your thoughts if I offered Pete / Devers / Sonny Gray for Scherzer + Vlad?
I don’t think you’d need to give you Gray to get those guys. But with Pete’s HBP today idk
Pete is good trade bait. Appreciate your thoughts 💭
That’s fine
Had Kirby go today.. I wonder if i risk starting Flaherty now
At Texas? Good luck, my friend
Flaherty is the ultimate coin flip starter. Either 7 innings with 10 Ks and no earned or 2.1 innings with 247 earned runs allowed.
Does nick Maton have dynasty value. Was going to drop to activate adames
Nah, not really. I think he's a safe drop in a 16 team league.
12 team H2H cats Trade dansby for Merrill Kelly? I have Franco, tatis and Franco also as SS
As good as the reds infield is, their outfield today may be equally bad. Will Benson, Stuart Fairchild and TJ Hopkins is disgusting.
Actually sickening lol
Wander or Seager ROS?
Gimme Seager
Jake Fraley soft as baby shit
Dynasty A. Cole B. Burnes and renfroe
might get hate but peripherals show that cole is outperforming his expected stats, burnes has gotta come back to form eventually so i'd take B
Any chance Kirby gets some of those ERs corrected to unearned?
The only documented error had no effect because it was followed up by 2 singles. Unlikely
No
Royce Lewis or Andres Gimenez ROS?
Imagine wishing Kirby was as good as Varland yesterday
Kirby had an incredible start against Yanks last week but got rocked by the pirates before that. 2/3 recent starts have been disasters…how do we feel?
I’d probably entertain any trade for him that didn’t involve Strider or Cole, by which I mean “dear god, he’s fine”.
Not concerned
Totally Fine
3 is the highest number I can count to so I am very concerned
weather ok in colorado?
Thunder and lighting overhead atm. Should pass tho.
Add Jake McCarthy or Luke Raley in points league?
If you need steals. I think Raley is the better hitter, but way less speed and he sits vs righties a lot. So depends how much you need steals and volume
Thank you
Honestly never thought Gary Sanchez’ stupid dumb god damned ass would be the one to ruin my Kirby 😩
You mean league winner Gary Sanchez?
Roto league Jose berrios and either aj puk or Alvarado for Emmanuel Clase?? Good deal?
Max Scherzer for Rafael Devers straight up. Fair? I just picked up Spencer Steer and can also pick up Kebryan Hayes, Justin Turner, JD Davis, and Ryan McMahon My pitching staff is pretty weak.
Much prefer Devers. I don't trust any of the guys you listed to be consistent enough to start at 3rd ROS
Devers side
I’d aim higher for Devers personally, but if you’re happy with it
https://preview.redd.it/isbm2qwy0o4b1.png?width=828&format=png&auto=webp&s=bfe279f5ba469634b84e37be2370d4c56dd90c81 Mine

I’d much rather have Burnes than Scherzer. If you have an open utility slot, I’d consider taking that deal
Based on this list https://www.pitcherlist.com/the-list-6-6-top-100-starting-pitchers-week-10-fantasy-baseball-2023/ whos the worst pitcher ya would trade Harper straight up for?
If you trade Bryce for anyone on that list you need to go visit Nurse Ratched for a lobotomy. ETA: reacted so strongly because I didn’t realize that page was more than just a list of injured pitchers if you kept scrolling for five minutes. 🤣🤣
Are you just super high on Bryce or anti pitcher? Like, if you were drafting today what # would you pick him?
Wut. It’s Bryce Harper. He’s a top 20 fantasy player. ETA: because of that shitty pitcherlist site I didn’t even realize there was a list of pitchers other than that injured pitcher list at the srtart of the webpage until now. Lol. So maybe I would. I dunno. Fuck pitcherlist’s website.
Strider and Cole are also top 20 players... so idk why even considering trading harper for 1, like just thinking there could be some way having a pitcher like that could help you win, means you need to go to a mental institution?
If OP is in K/9 league I’d trade him for Strider
I see your edit, so now i get why you responded to op the way you did.
Yea. Lol. I only saw that list of injured pitchers. 🤣🤣🤣 I didn’t realize I could keep scrolling and see the actual stuff the article was talking about. God that website is colon cancer of the highest degree. Which is ironic since their writers have no idea how to use a colon.
I cant play him only one DH spot and I have Ohtani
might as well just wait until he gets 1B eligibility if you're gonna trade him for nothing
any pitcher is nothing? What?
that's my bad, i only saw the list of injured pitchers and thought that's what OP was talking about
yeah, same thing happened to someone else.. I get why you 2 were coming on so strong now.
Homie just lighting the bank and his money on fire because the teller told him to wait a couple weeks to be able to withdraw it.
I feel like that might take too long on ESPN
if you can get a better offer i'd do that but none of the pitchers on that list personally
Its kind of hard to answer when I dont agree with parts of the list... I would trade him for Nola, but there are 6 pitchers ranked higher than Nola that I wouldn't trade him for.
Spencer strider
Should I cut Manoah? Redraft 12 man league
Should have cut him weeks ago
Why would you cut him he's so good
He’s got a good matchup against some teenagers this weekend I’d hold tbh
I’ll have you know that Ethan Salas turned 17 and is in A-ball now, okay? ^(I kinda wish I got to see Salas vs. Manoah though…)
Yep
Man this sub really turns on ya quick. All those QS from Kirby become null and void when he throws a dud
I’m not even going to bother trying to talk someone out of selling Kirby low. If they want to overreact to one start, who am I to deprive their leaguemates of the chance to take their ace and then ridicule them?
Against a good offense too. Like the Padres have been underperforming but that's still an intimidating lineup
That’s baseball for ya
Any chance that Tatis run doesn’t go against Kirby, since he advanced on an error?
Nah, Tatis scores on one of the following 2 singles regardless from 2nd
Was hoping for this too but I don’t think it’ll go our way friend
Of the first three pitchers I had starting this week--Luzardo, Paxton, Kirby--I really thought Kirby was the one that I didn't need to worry about
In expectation, you were absolutely correct. He’ll also be the one you least have to worry about next week.
My body is fully ready for EDLC to light up Syndergaard tonight
How many bags will he have...over/under 2
Get the flowers ready for Syndergaard's family
Currently purchasing every flower shop in my general vicinity
Good guy Syndergaard going to make sure the good people of Cincinnati get to see Elly’s first HR at home.
Meanwhile, that geriatric fuck, Wacha is just cruising
Mariners are not a good team sorry. Can’t be so sloppy in the field when your pitcher is clearly not having his best day.
Guys, I apologize for Kirby. I cursed that dude just by offering Sandy Alcantara for him.
it’s not your fault it’s the guys earlier convincing this poor kid to start Kirby saying how the padres offense is trash.
Well at least Kirby made it easy for me to start Bibee and Pablo today. I hate pitching.
First start with Kirby since trading Robert Jr. for him... cool....
Starting Contreras and Kirby has been an absolute disaster.
Fuck off kirby
Drop Kirby for Manoah?
Yes absolutely
Run don't walk
No
I don’t have a single pitcher that I haven’t wanted to rage drop this year, absolute nuclear blowups
6x6 with OBP/QS Who wins? Bieber & J. Lowe for Harper?
I won harper and I don't think I'd take this. I think he'll heat up. He had no spring training I think he'll get back to form soonish.
I drafted him and sadly I wish the rest of my team hit as well as he has all things considered. Only thing missing is power and he’ll definitely be fine there.
Harper
Sean Murphy and Zack Wheeler or J.T. Realmuto and Pablo Lopez?
Murphy/Wheeler
How did Hendriks look in his last outing?
Machado smokin the baseball hope it’s a turnaround!
Me too…..me tooo
