You starting Volpe over Neto at all this week?
Justin Mason
10:12
nope

Still holding out hope for Ivan Herrera. Finally healthy, Cards called him up with starter on IL. Been holding all summer.
Justin Mason
10:13
I think he gets a fair amount of run with Contreras out. I have never been a huge fan, but I think he can be servicable

What do you expect from deGrom for the last three weeks?
Justin Mason
10:13
to be honest, I am not expecting a ton. I don't think they will push him too hard. Just want to get him some innings so he is ready for next season
Noel
10:13
How much are you trusting Noel over the next few weeks?  Smoke and mirrors or legit?
Justin Mason
10:14
The power is legit, but he strikes out a ton and that isn't going anywhere so there will be massive hot streaks and massive cold streaks

Is Zebby the next Bieber?
Justin Mason
10:15
I like Zebby but that is a bit hyperbolic. He definitely could be a very interesting arm, but he doesn't have Bieber's command.

Is Big Christmas gonna keep adding jet fuel to my sleigh or am I holding 250 lbs of coal in the playoffs?
Justin Mason
10:15
I had to look up that nickname lmao

Zebby has a 70 grade name.
Justin Mason
10:16
He absolutely does. I love that we added it to his fangraphs page.

should Scherzer this year be the last time I bid more than $1 at auction for an IL stash?
Justin Mason
10:16
probably

despite rostering Adames, Happ, Carroll, Friedl, Betts and adding Merrifield, Crow-Armstrong, and Blanco later on, Xavier Edwards had 10 of my 13 steals from August 8-23. what do I do now? category is still super close
Justin Mason
10:17
Maybe see if someone dropped Turang? Johnny Deluca is available in most leagues. Jacob young too?
Josh Lowe
10:17
Any chance he can be a game-changer to end the season or have you given up hope for this year? You starting him over Noel?
Justin Mason
10:18
Lowe always has the ability to turn it on, but he has really struggled with consistent contact. I think they are very similar in that regard, but Lowe has the better profile by a little bit

Do you think Tucker will play at a King Tuck level any more this year?
Justin Mason
10:18
I hope so, but at this point, I wouldn't bet on it

Should I take big Strides or Cruz on my Swell Bike?  OttoNeu, YTD.  Really 2025 impact:  $17 Strider for $16 O. Cruz and $1  Schwellenbach.  Thank you
Justin Mason
10:19
I lean towards the pair for 2025. I don't know what Strider will look like in his first year back from surgery
Colton
10:19
What do we do with Bobby Miller for next year? There's gotta be some sort of nagging injury that's messing up his mechanics, right?
Justin Mason
10:20
I definitely think he will; be a nice bounce back guy. I don't believe he is washed at his age. Price will determine a lot, but I will likely be taking the gamble
Gavin Stone
10:20
Do you own (m)any shares of me? How likely am I to contribute meaningful fantasy innings in Sept?
Justin Mason
10:21
I don't have many to be honest, but i think with the state of the Dodgers rotation, you will factor in a ton down the stretch. A lot of win potential in LA
Wait til next year
10:21
2025: Cole or deGrom? (apropos of your chat about too early drafts)
Justin Mason
10:21
deGrom if he finishes the year healthy, but i will have both very high
Tuckered Out
10:21
At some point we need proof of life photos for Kyle Tucker, right? Next time there's an update, I want to see him holding up a newspaper.
Justin Mason
10:21
I saw him on the back of my milk carton this morning.

Judge
10:22
How do I consistently run such high BABIP? Don't most power hitters of my caliber run low BABIP because HR are PA but the ball is never "in play"?
Justin Mason
10:22
When you strike the ball as hard as Judge does, it helps the BABIP tremendously.

What do you expect from Jared Jones ROS?
Justin Mason
10:23
I think he will be very good ROS. The only real question is if the Pirates decide to limit him like they are talking about with Skenes. I don't think they need to but they aren't competing here.
Insert Witty Name Here

Sit Freeman since his finger definitely isn’t helping? Tork, Togila, Bride and Josh Bell are my options. OBP league.
