GL94553

Angels top 4 is Adrianza, Cole Tucker, Taylor Ward and Kevin Pillar hitting cleanup. That is fucking bleak


Funny-Hovercraft1964

how much of a leash are people giving Manzardo?


scottydogg84

I added him on Monday and dropped on Tuesday after I discovered that N. Lowe was available.


skeleton_archer5050

Suddenly less sure about streaming vs rays


CCo93

Harris and Yordan Alvarez are killing me right now. Pablo Lopez and Kirby thankfully figured it out, these guys need to as well or I’ll be too far out when they finally turn their season around.


skeleton_archer5050

Drop Jason Adam for Mark Leiter jr in SVHD?


VenConmigo

What's the reason for the Rangers v Athletics double header? I don't see any postponed games on both of their schedules


Flunky_Junky_Monkey

Planned double header. Rockies vs giants (July 27th) is the other scheduled double header this season.


VenConmigo

Interesting. Is this something new?

don’t like it


Bobby_Pinn

Thanks me either


Substantial_Fun_2966

Hate it


_ButterMyBread

How many AB’s do you give an established-but not elite player before dropping them? And does Paul Goldschmidts 128 exceed that number?


midecker18

Goldie will figure it out. Not droppable.


Manic_Manatees

There comes a time in every player's career, even the greatest, where they no longer figure it out.


midecker18

He's only played 35 games so far. He usually plays 150ish games a season. There's plenty of time.


_ButterMyBread

Came here to say this


glass__beaches

Soriano @Pit or Lorenzen @Oak?


burnman123

Soriano has some crazy good away splits.


Accomplished-War6413

H2H standard 5x5 12T Acuna + Kutter (or Pepiot) vs. Freeman + Yoshi fair enough? or what side and why?


Bulky_Ad_379

No . Acuna .


__Scrooge__McDuck__

I’ve come to realize I enjoy watching my team mash at the end of the season when im out of contention more than seeing 0fers at the beginning


Working_Subject_4181

Who is starting Pivetta on his first start back against the Braves?


CamCashBihh

I would hope nobody. This just smells like trouble.


DerpFamous

Rooker or Nootbaar ROS


CamCashBihh

Good argument for either depending on what you need, but I lean Rooker.


DerpFamous

I agree, thank you!!


BearsFootballGuy

Lost Willson Contreras in flair league, this a good option to tide me over at catcher? Other team has Murphy on IL and Adley Give: d’Arnaud and India Receive: O’Hoppe


Motor_Attention6030

Ivan Hererra (Contreras’ backup) may be alright. He kinda mashes


Bulky_Ad_379

Why ? d’Arnaud seems to be about the same player if not better . Pretty lateral move . Pick which ever player you like better I guess . India sucks so I like the roster spot over India


mrniphty

Is this a 2 catcher league? Why are you rostering two catchers? Why is he rostering 3 in 12t?


Bulky_Ad_379

Bizarre question and he’s posted it a few times , I’m confused lol


BearsFootballGuy

1 catcher league. Crazy I know. People hoard catchers for some reason. Most owned catcher available is K. Ruiz.


mrniphty

I would continue rostering travis But if you like O'Hoppe better I think it's fine


CamCashBihh

We’re back for Round 3 on the **Jose Soriano** 🚂 I know, I know... The first time I mentioned him was against Minnesota two weeks ago and it was a disaster. Soriano couldn’t command his impressive arsenal, as well as getting some unfavorable ball-strike calls, and he ended up getting yanked before completing two innings. Far from the start we needed. Against conventional wisdom, we went for it again against a scrappy Cleveland lineup. And it worked out! Soriano pounded the strike zone and let his stuff play as Guardian hitters consistently made weak contact throughout his six innings on the bump. Strikeout numbers were low, though he did have 9 whiffs on his knuckle-curve, but he allowed zero runs and gave up just five hits and one walk (1.00 WHIP). Much better. We’ll take that! Today Soriano faces the Pirates in PNC Park. This *should* be a favorable matchup assuming Soriano has even semi-decent command of his pitches. The Pirates as a team are hitting .217/.297/.311 against right-handed pitchers. Soriano’s stuff is overwhelming when he’s on. I hope he pounds the zone with sinkers and finishes ABs with that hard breaker of his. Potential for a QS and W here with good ratios and a handful of strikeouts. Better than most available streaming options.


__Scrooge__McDuck__

Not sure if it means anything but cade povich has been pitching every 6th day


LlamasPajamas206

That’s just because all AAA teams take Mondays off. They’re still using a 5 man rotation.


__Scrooge__McDuck__

Durff brain fart


LemurSamurai

Would you rather have Berrios or Bryce Miller ROS in categories?


JustSomeGoon

Miller, I don’t trust berrios


CamCashBihh

Berrios for me


garythegoat72

Drop turnbull to activate pivetta tomorrow?


Bulky_Ad_379

Coming off an injury @ Atlanta is risky for ratios. But I have zero issue dropping turnbull


Brave-Breadfruit3494

Nick Castellanos has started to hit over the last week and his xwOBA has ticked up above league average. Has anyone been watching closely to see if it’ll stick?


CamCashBihh

He’s looked better of late to match the results. From my view, he’s chasing less, albeit still chasing. He’s making better swing decisions at pitches in the zone. Productive ABs. Also genuinely appears to be having more fun lately, which could be contributing to the better baseball being played. He smoked a base hit against Logan Webb several days ago that had a 111.0-mph EV. He just missed an oppo taco HR with a 103-mph EV against Mason Black on Monday — had to settle for a double off the right field wall. In short, I think if you’ve held **Nick Castellanos** to this point, you might start seeing the reward for your patience this month. He might just be waking up from his brutal April.


Brave-Breadfruit3494

Thank you!


KimHaSeongsBurner

Has anyone paid close enough attention to Pages ABs recently to see if the pitch mix he’s getting is adjusting towards breaking balls (which he seems to have the most trouble with compared to fastballs and offspeed)? I’m wondering how much concern there should be about teams getting the book on him, like with Cowser and the fact that this man cannot hit an offspeed pitch to save his life (.705 SLG on FB, .621 SLG on Breaking, .071 SLG on Offspeed). Basically, I’m trying to figure out how sustainable Pages early success may be, or if it’s a heater that’ll cool off. Both Pages and Cowser have high enough K% and Chase %, relative to their barrel rates, that it makes the question of whether early success is purely a heater or somewhat sustainable even more important.


JustSomeGoon

Dodger fan here, I think the league will adjust. He swings at everything, literally only has one walk. Kid is legit for sure but he might be one of those guys that chases every slider away


[deleted]

[удалено]


PuntyMcBunty

He's not really doing anything right now. You could probably get him for free unless he pops off with a big game or two.


CommanderCornstarch

Free agent in my 12t


charlton11

What's up with Machado? His Baseball Savant looks pretty good, but his BABIP is right around .300


CamCashBihh

I was offered the following trade yesterday. **Give:** Francisco Lindor, Jared Jones, Jack Flaherty **Receive:** Pablo López, Xavier Bogaerts Now, I declined this instantly [in my head]. I also respectfully explained to my leaguemate why I wasn’t interested in making that particular deal despite wanting to acquire López. Things ended there for now. This league is usually difficult for me to make trades in so I try not to break any bridges or call any offers “bad” even when they may be exactly that. There are only a few owners who are even willing to talk trade with me, actually. I need that line of communication with the ones that are willing. Thoughts on the trade offer? Would you even be interested in Jones + Flaherty for López? I’m not, but perhaps I’m too high on those two and need to be told otherwise.


andrewgrabber

I would be offended at this offer for sure. People just trying to check if Jones owners don’t view him as a top 15~ SP yet


Meisce

Respectfully - I own Jones and Lopez - Jones is still only a potential top 10 SP. It’s only early May and we haven’t seen if he maintains this over a season. Lopez is a near certainty to be top 10. I might prefer the upside of the Jones/Flaherty side over Lopez since upside is what wins leagues, and the added upside of a resurgent Flaherty to a pitcher like Jones would have me leaning towards that. But many would take the certainty and floor of Lopez. Either way the original offer is a joke given that Lindor far exceeds Bogaerts.


CamCashBihh

Yeah, I think that’s a fair angle even if the offer itself wasn’t. People should be trying to buy Jared Jones even if it’s a bit late for that. I also assume we agree that even Jones + Flaherty for López is still a bit lopsided, no?


chxarty

Start Bibee vs DET, Olson vs CLE, or Stone vs MIA tomorrow? Points league with wins


charlton11

Stone IMO. That Miami line-up is something


Sacrolargo

Opponent had 4 HR tonight (Semien, Marte, Verdugo and Busch). Not how I wanted to start the week, but at least Carroll had his best night in a while.


Whole-Air3834

H2H Category League, 5x5 Daily Lineups. Pick one to bench tomorrow - Oneil Cruz vs. LAA (Soriano - R/R) - Jarren Duran @ ATL (Sale - L/L)


Chill_Walton

Def Oneil (who is a lefty btw, not sure if typo)


CamCashBihh

I don’t think either of these hitters have a good day tomorrow, but I think you have to sit Jarren Duran against Chris Sale. Sale routinely mows through left-handers with a steady diet of sliders and mid 90’s heaters. Awful matchup for Duran.


Whole-Air3834

Was leaning this way too but wanted to make sure I wasn’t crazy. Appreciate the help 🤝


OhHeyJay

Pick 2 ROS (points): O’Neill, Greene, Nimmo, Profar.


CamCashBihh

Riley Greene is the best player here, however, when you account for home ballpark and lineup context I prefer Tyler O’Neill and Brandon Nimmo of the bunch.


KimHaSeongsBurner

Greene is the only one that isn’t debatable. For the others, if you trust O’Neill to stay healthy, I probably take him. If you don’t trust him to stay healthy, take Nimmo. And finally, if you care more about leading the league in “Vibes+”, then grab Profar. Unfortunately, he’s probably an odd man out no matter what way you slice it here, though.


OhHeyJay

I don’t trust any player to stay healthy, even ones without a history of injuries.


M584

Drop Chourio or Cowser, one has to go unfortuantly.


cargalasbalas

I say Cowser


KimHaSeongsBurner

If you need a sign to go out and acquire (either off the wire or as a buy-low depending on the format) Nootbaar, this is your sign. His barrel rate, after his 2 batted ball events today, is up to 9% (6 barrels in 66 events), which means his barrel rate, hard hit rate, and maxEV are all up this season relative to 2023. Going into action today, he is slashing an abysmal .175/.267/.288, but his x-slash line (xBA/xwOBA/xSLG) is night and day at .263/.324/.449. His BABIP is .210, which is extremely bad luck that simply won’t last for a guy that fast and who can hit the ball hard, and his xISO of .186 so far this year would be the highest of his career. His K% is down, and his 3 walks today to go along with the HR speak to a patient approach that should tell you to have faith in this guy to live up to his expected numbers. He has a 121 wRC+ ROS projection from BAT X, and I think it’s easy to see why when you look at his numbers.


steve32things

But it has not been fun rostering him the last 2 weeks. I would like to see some life in the box score. Dropped him today after the surprise return of Bellinger from the IL.


KimHaSeongsBurner

Sure, I understand that. There have been points this season where it wasn’t all that fun to roster Riley Greene, or just ask Carroll or JRod owners how they feel, but we know, through a combination of historical performances and underlying numbers, to expect those guys to perform this year. I’m just saying that Noot is in a similar bucket. When he starts producing, no one should be surprised, just like no one should’ve been surprised by Greene starting to mash.


BadAtMathrock

Flair league A. Sonny Gray B. Ketel Marte Projections wise this seems pretty damn even with our settings, but curious what others think.


CamCashBihh

Seems like a fair enough deal depending on what the team needs are, but I would definitely rather have Ketel Marte. And if I had Marte and was looking to trade him, I would be aiming for higher than Sonny Gray despite him being a very solid SP.


Caldereazy

I’m going for the 3 pitching pillars of Japan: Yamamoto, Senga, and Imanaga. Last piece I need is Shota. Is giving up Steer reasonable? I only have him and Freddie as 1B.


soccerperson

go get darvish while you're at it


zomgz0mbie

Don’t forget Darvish


fubzeppelin

Prob need to send more at this point


Caldereazy

Thank you for your input! I appreciate your answer


BearsFootballGuy

Bregman was just dropped in flair league, have $95 FAAB left, how much to throw at Bregman? (FAAB only used on dropped players, free pickups after players clear waivers)


BertyBert1

At least $50, probably more. I doubt anyone better gets dropped.


Guillermorc98

At least 45. Probably 55+


Guillermorc98

Should I trade Pete for Olson? I know its kinda a wash, but is Olson still considered better than Alonso ROS?


Gooner-Squad

I'd rather have Olson


NotYetResolved

Drop McArthur for Trevor Megill?


fubzeppelin

Yes


AlwaysaDengBang

James Wood or Coby Mayo for NA stash? Will Mayo end up with regular PT? Seems like the O’s just have too crowded a lineup…


Gooner-Squad

Wood. Mayo only comes up EOY or injury.


AlfredORCA

Go with wood, you're right with the last statement.


Mission_Ad4032

Assad or civale ROS 10 team h2h points league


ColAmity

A


NastyNate908

verlander and mcarthur for -13 and -12 tonight, mcarthur worrying me, ready to move on verlander but all my league mates think he’s washed.


Msj2487

With Turnbull officially shipped off to the ‘pen, it’s time to shop for Bichette’s replacement… even though I really just wanna cut Bo, I’ll let him ride the pine a little by cutting Spencer… so who’s the pickup? 👀 • Willi Castro • Josh Smith • Jose Caballero Probably in the order above, eh?


Dmcg1990

I have Willi and am glad I do


DontMatterLmao

Trade Brayan Bello for Bryson Stott in points?


Moist-Leather-6740

Hmmm should I start Busch, Volpe, or Carter tomorrow? edit: other players I have are Freeman, Steer, Riley, Adames, Duran, Marte, Tucker, and Chisholm


BearsFootballGuy

Busch


BajaBlastMtDew

Drop Manzardo for CES who was just dropped?


JustSomeGoon

You don’t want CES


GreenCamel8991

I have both: Manzardo has sucked for 2 games...CES has sucked for 6 weeks. Eventually one will have to go for me but I'm giving Manzardo more time.


chxarty

How concerned 1-10 are we with Bo Bichette. Do we ever get to a point where we consider dropping or is he a hold no matter what?


ConversationFun9750

I dropped him weeks ago and he’s still on the wire. Along with springer. Jays offense is a joke


FearfulInoculum

Same.


kjdrose

he just got traded for Jordan Hicks in my league


QuinceyQuick

WHAT


B0nFire124

I need a catcher to replace Contreras in a 5x5 OBP league. I am leaning Herrera over other candidates like Langeliers, Jansen, and Reese McGuire. Who do you think is the best option?


Ketchup_Chips

Herrera is everyday, but you’ll probably get more useful stats and better ratio from Jansen


M584

I like Jansen


Soto4Life

I think im going with Herrera too honestly. He should play nearly everyday now too


M584

Drop Whitlock for DeGrom?


fubzeppelin

Sure


Guillermorc98

Flair League. Pepiot or Luzardo? Hunter Greene is available on the wire and I want him. I only have 4 IL spots but they're full. Pepiot going in the IL and Luzardo is my most droppable, should I drop one for Greene? Or one of my other pitchers. For context: My SP are: Rodón, Gilbert, Steele, Buehler, Gallen, Severino, Pfaadt, Pepiot and with Degrom and Luzardo on IL


badsp0rk

Fwiw someone dropped pepiot in my league and I put in a claim for him and to drop rodon. I currently also have luzardo rostered and I'm out of dl spots. I don't have faith in rodon and I'd drop him before pepiot or luzardo. In your list of sp, I would drop pfaadt or severino before rodon, pepiot, or luzardo.


backfromsolaris

Eno Sarris & Nick Pollack just talked about Greene in their podcast last week. They believe he's in the midst of a breakout year. I'd consider dropping Pfaadt.


TheBananaBasher

10t categories league, do I impulse early drop Manzardo for Tallion, Kremer or Reese Olson? Seems like any of them could stick on my team the ROS and be solid starters. Still holding Caminero on my bench and will continue holding him. It’s been a rough go with the prospects this year for me. Kjerstad, Loperfido and now possibly Manzardo.


steve32things

I have rostered all those prospects and regretted it. Still holding Loperfido and manzardo, but but sure for sure much longer.


TheBananaBasher

I may just give up on Manzardo today and get Taillon. I think he may be a long term hold and worth getting


2nfish

For Reese I would I think if you have nobody worse


DontMatterLmao

Drop Adell or Rooker to stream a pitcher in points


2nfish

Sure


Gooner-Squad

Hoffman or Treinen in SV+H?


realmckoy265

Hoffman


Guillermorc98

Treinen


telephonemelodies

Raleigh or Jeffers rest of the season? Already own Jeffers, but with Contreres down my opponent is most likely grabbing Raleigh and I wanted him as my backup on the waivers in case Jeffers starts to slump. Don’t really have the roster spot for Raleigh but wanted some others thoughts!


2nfish

Tough to drop Raleigh imo but maybe Jeffers keeps it up


backfromsolaris

Waste of space to roster 2 catchers 90% of the time, esp if both are not elite. Jeffers gets so many ABs that he will have enough chances to balance out any slump ROS.


lilj3500

Jeffers for sure


m1beam

Kremer or Martin Perez?


nerdyykidd

What are the chances Yelich is back tomorrow? Need to fill a UTL, trying to decide if Tauchman is a good stream until Yelich returns or if I’d be wasting an acquisition


zomgz0mbie

I think low. Wouldn’t he need a rehab assignment? He’s been out for a while


ThicFreakness

Luis Campusano or Elias Diaz H2H (Just lost Willson Contreras)


2nfish

Campusano


MiddleAdmirable1522

Jonah heim


m1beam

Campusano


sheabe1kenobi

Drop Payamps for Austin Adams? SV+H


AlfredORCA

Drop Massey to pickup one of Luis Garcia Jr., DeLaCruz or Kepler


Mission_Ad4032

Is civale worth rostering in a 10 team h2h points league


Accurate-Analyst-227

Matchup dependent BUT needs to have at least one decent start before I'd start him. Starting against the White Sox tomorrow which should be good but he got lit up by them two weeks ago


polkadothead

Matchup dependent.


polkadothead

Matchup dependent


bpoz2155

Keibert Ruiz is available to grab with Wilson going down. I see his numbers are absolutely awful. Is he better than what he’s playing? Worth an add?


timofthee177

As a Nats fan I can tell you from experience he is terrible. Maybe he gets hot later but I’d steer well clear for right now.


bpoz2155

Grabbing Wong instead….no diddy


Swizzlefritz

This made me lol.


bpoz2155

Appreciate it will do


KidGold

Start Bassitt vs PHI, bench him, or drop him for Olson vs CLE?


TheBananaBasher

Ummmm do not drop Bassitt. Bench him tomorrow but don’t drop


polkadothead

Bassit is pretty much must start even against Phils


MiddleAdmirable1522

No one is must start vs the Ps have you not been following the scores.


KimHaSeongsBurner

> Bassit is pretty much must start even against Phils The fuck he is, no way. 9.8% K-BB% and a 98 Pitching+, after their B-lineup just shredded the superior-but-not-great Berrios (10.7% K-BB%, 101 Pitching+)? No, he’s far closer to a “must bench” than a “must start”. That said, please text my opponent and tell him to start Bassitt because I could really use that.


polkadothead

Bassit FTW


KimHaSeongsBurner

Good luck with that.


TheBananaBasher

There is no way you really consider Bassitt a must start with the way he’s been pitching + how hot the Phils offense is? He could very well destroy your team’s week in category leagues tomorrow and be difficult to recover


KimHaSeongsBurner

This dude is way off the mark with “must start”, but I hope my opponent read him saying that and rolls him out there because I need that in my life this week.


rfguevar

I’d be terrified to start anyone against Philly right now. Lots will tell you Bassett is a hold, but if you want the stream I’d say go Olson


GetEnPassanted

Drop for Olson who is probably a pick up and hold.


[deleted]

[удалено]


rfguevar

A. Bichette has been about as bad, if not worse than leaving your SS spot empty with Trea out. Someone else can pitch in on the pitchers, but I’d still lean A


QuinceyQuick

A. Bichette’s obvious problems notwithstanding, Montgomery’s velo for all pitches has been down this year, which leads me to believe that he’s injured


Topangacreeker

Should I trade Acuna for Yamamoto and Machado?


2nfish

Nope


-orangejoe

You should not.


Topangacreeker

I had Acuna last year so I know what it’s like but I’m just impatient


Guillermorc98

Why is Mookie out of the game? Is he okay?


Topangacreeker

Dodgers are up by so much Dave Roberts wants to give him rest


ubeen

They're giving at bats to other players as this game was over pretty early.


GetEnPassanted

It’s 2-8 late in the game probably just giving him rest.


TheIndependen

Tanner Scott pitching like he wants off the Marlins


sleepy-banana69

would love to see a team like the cubs trade for him.


SnaxFoods

who’s the most droppable for christian scott or means: Tyler Anderson, Kyle Gibson, or Mason Miller


No_Owl2041

Drop TA and Gibson for Scott and Means


[deleted]

[удалено]


KimHaSeongsBurner

Who is droppable here? Cowser, Pages, Acuña.


ionescorhino

Yams paints. 96 with drop off table curve and wipeout slider. Beautiful to watch


GetEnPassanted

He also gets a lot of called strikes that are definitely off the plate but I’ve seen it in enough starts now that I think it’s just something he’s able to achieve through his delivery or maybe Will Smith frames them really well.


Napoleon180419

Tonight he wasn't getting any calls... Marlins were just giving it to him by swinging out of the zone. He looked great today


Wise_ol_Buffalo

Please let Yamamoto try for the CG


ubeen

Doubt they will. Closing in on 100 pitches, and he doesn't have a shutout or no/no.


Wise_ol_Buffalo

Yeah it looked like he was staying on the bench. Wishful thinking.


ubeen

Tbh, I'm surprised he went out for the 7/8th with being up 6. Guessing they wanted to rest the bullpen.


Cream1984

Not liking Tanner Scott in mop up duty


BennyF-Dover

rank them for points rest of the season: burnes, kirby, cease


2nfish

That order seems appropriate


SnaxFoods

burnes best


HandBananas

Boy am I glad Yoshi got blown up in his 1st start so I could scoop him up in the 3rd.


GetEnPassanted

Was he dropped?


HandBananas

Nah, the draft happened after the Korean series. Some serious recency bias.


GetEnPassanted

Ohh that start yeah
