Welcome back everyone. Yet another week has passed as the first month of the season has nearly concluded.
At this point of the season, what have we learned?
Well, we've learned that pitchers are still dropping like flies and that having position...
Explain baseball to an alien? Can we start with this:
What if all those Bubbas were in the majors at the same time? Would you be worried? How would it make you feel? Would you think, “Am I baseball fan or,” considered pause, as you turn to the...
Depending on how your season’s going, it may be hard for you to believe that we’re already about a month in, because time is flying so fast as your teams are happily hovering at the top of the standings. Or, it may feel more like the all star break...
We’re approximately 15% of the way through the season and have no idea who the Cy Young winners are going to be, but as crazy as it sounds we have a pretty good idea of which pitchers it won’t be, and if you don’t believe me, you’re...
So, that’s why they got rid of Zac Veen? Oh, you know I’m on that bullshit still. You know I am! How do you not know this by now? This is what I do! Complain about the Rockies! Jordan Beck had a three-homer day yesterday, going 4-for-7 with 5 RBIs...
I used to love watching all the home renovation shows….until I actually started doing those renovations myself. So much pain. So much blood. So many tears. I gotta say, though. Looking back at those times now, I’m glad I did them. Please, blog,...
For this week, I thought I would focus on some potential waiver wire adds in shallow leagues. Below, I’ve discussed three names that are being added at a high rate in deeper leagues like Fantrax and NFBC, but what about the types of leagues that most...
Major League Baseball has now played four of 26 weeks this season, which means we have minimal stats to evaluate players for our fantasy baseball squads. With Opening Day past us and the dog days of summer ahead, who have been some of the more interesting...
In our 88th episode, Mike Couillard and Jeremy Brewer open by talking about the myriad of prospect callups that occurred this past week along with other news and notes on injuries and roster moves affecting fantasy leagues. Then we discuss the newest...
How did the Cubs turn Wrigley, an extreme pitchers’ park, into an extreme hitters’ park, and why do I think I don’t know her name, but that girl goes by She Nanigans? Did they tell some Cubs fan that New York pizza is better than Chicago...
The Athletics are officially promoting 1B Nick Kurtz to the rank of major leaguer, and like the winding journey into the heart of darkness we find in Apocalypse Now, things are about to get a little weird in Sacramento. Good weird though, like the early Rockies...
What’s poppin’, Razzpimples?
Bullpen recap time!
Don’t forget to keep that Razzball Bullpen Chart bookmarked. It’s been updated with the latest, and I’m usually quick to get it touched up once any type of news drops....
Remember that one Razzball writer, the guy who said that shallow positions aren’t shallow, they’re just waiting for guys to ascend to their new lofty heights? Genius, that guy is. Especially with Nick Kurtz receiving the call in Oakland.
Kurtz...
Mitchell Parker peter piper’d a pickle pepper of a game yesterday (8 IP, 0 ER, 1 hit, 2 walks, 4 Ks, ERA at 1.39). Mary Jane smacked her lips on that Parker, in the kisser. But this is when things got weird. Please, blog, may I have some more?
Welcome back, stolen base aficionados. The calendar is about to turn to May, and the fantasy teams are shaking out into contenders and pretenders. It’s still silly season though, where big swings can happen. Today we are going to discuss the classic...
This is probably the last week where I start my article by saying, “hey, it’s still early”. So let me get that out of the way now. “Hey, it’s still early.”
Skill indicators do stabilize ahead of the bottom line numbers we...
How is it going so far for you this DFS season? Think about how your season-long teams are doing and how your DFS results have gone. What attitude are you approaching today’s slate with? If you have not been successful, there can be a slight bias developing...
Grey and B_Don talk about the prospects that have joined their major league teams on this week’s Razzball Fantasy Baseball Podcast. We talk about a couple of speedsters in Chandler Simpson and Caleb Durbin. One of the other top stash candidates, Nick...
Whaddya say, let’s do a Nick Kurtz post every other day for the rest of the season. For unstints: Random starter pitches well, I write a lede about him, “Yay, Max Meyer, you complete me, not ‘me’ like Renée Zellweger, but ‘me’...
Happy Monday, Razzball faithful!
And Happy Easter Monday!
And…well…
I hope that the Easter bunny was good to everyone. I also hope anyone celebrating that other holiday yesterday got their fair share of green eggs with their Easter ham.
As...
