Do you think Oliver Drake will stay in mix for Holds/Saves for TB?
Brad Johnson
4:31
Please don't make me think about the Rays bullpen
captain sparks

can you put up a late lunch poll for me: burger or burrito?
Brad Johnson
4:32
I have been thanked on multiple occasions for not making this Brad Johnson Food/Beer Chat
I don't actually read chats, but my understanding is it's common to talk about not baseball (and I'm not referring only to FG chats)

Has Tyler Beede become more than a streamer option for you in a 12 teamer?
Brad Johnson
4:33
Are you asking if "Tyler Beede is 12-team mixed relevant" the answer is yes!
Though, I'd lean towards streaming him still on account of the trash offense.

If you had a fantasy team made up entirely of SFG players, would you be buying or selling at the deadline? Asking for a friend.
Brad Johnson
4:34
Hard selling. Not a lot you can sell in fantasy though. MadBum, Smith, and maybe Shark or Belt?
Nobody is buying Dickerson
4:35
And the rest of them are terrible.
I'm aware of their recent run production btw. Color me unimpressed
Roger
4:35
Buying some positive Peraza regression? If not ROS then next year?
Brad Johnson
4:35
Sure. Some.

How much faith does the community really have that Royce Lewis will be just fine? Going on a full season of struggles in A ball isn’t exactly encouraging. Will he right the ship?
Brad Johnson
4:36
At this stage, I'm listening to the scouts who insist he's still a top 30 guy at least.
He may no longer be that elite top 5 type though

My buddies are thinking that if they braves get Stroman, they beat the dodgers in a series. Thoughts?
Brad Johnson
4:36
If Marcus Stroman is somehow supposed to be your answer to the Dodgers, you're asking the wrong questions
4:37
The Dodgers MASH ground ball pitchers. O/U 1.80 HR/9 for Stroman against them.
Sam
4:37
If the braves get Stroman, do they beat the dodgers in a series? I say no, friends say yes
Brad Johnson
4:37
I guess I misclicked. See above.

Re Bichette:  I encourage everyone here to read Swydan's 2012 piece on his 1999 season, in which he hit 34 HR and .298/.354/.541, good for a .379 wOBA (second-highest of his career), which was good for NEGATIVE 2.1 WAR!

CarMart can't hang on to the closers job giving up this many runs, right?
Brad Johnson
4:38
Seemingly no
Jay Bruce is not afraid
4:38
Nate Lowe not starting again today -- do you think his ride is over or...
Brad Johnson
4:38
They have some complicated roster decisions to make soon
The easiest would be to demote Lowe.
4:39
But it's probably true he's about a win better than Choi ROS
So they might cut Choi
We'll see how it all shakes out
Maybe they find the phantom IL instead
Blue Jaded

ROS in a 12 teamer..Nate Lowe or Biggio?
Jay Bruce is not afraid
4:39
ROS: Austin Nola or Nate Lowe?
Brad Johnson
4:40
Lowe is a better player than Biggio, but I'd go with the latter due to fairly certain playing time
Austin Nola isn't anything
Woah Nellie

Brad, do you really want to link to that predictions piece where your top prediction is that Dom Smith would be the best Mets 1B?  He's been more than solid, but JEEZ.
Brad Johnson
4:41
Eh, they're mostly supposed to fail spectacularly
Connecting…
