I am doing regular podcasts on the FWFB podcast as well as three episodes a week for the Sleeper and the Bust so definitely make sure you are subscribed there as well!
DavidJohn Herz
10:00
Can all the DavidJohn fans do a lap of honor for these last two starts. Next two are @NYM & vs KC. We still rolling with him? And is he the most hyped Nats starter going into 2025?
Justin Mason
10:02
I think you can roll with him in most formats depending on your other options. I think he will definitely get some hype and could be their top starter drafted depending on how he and Gore finish the season

Pick two for this week , need Wins & Ks : Bobby Miller -Mia Megill -Wash Nick Martinez -Pit BHurter-Bal AMarsh-Det JCantillo-Min Povich-Det
Justin Mason
10:02
Megill for me
cool 2
Ben

Justin - Would you trust Severino vs PHI this week?  He pitched well @ PHI in his last start.  Gave up 2 HRs - both to Harper but nothing else.  League counts IP, QS, and K/9.  Thanks.
Justin Mason
10:02
I think it is pretty risky tbh. I would look for another option personally
Broken Bat
10:03
Innings pitched isn’t the answer as the SP of Dodgers have been monitored very closely; however they despite the tender care continue to breakdown. The list is long of SP who have had significant arm injuries. A FA SP would be nuts to sign  with Dodgers. What gives?
Justin Mason
10:04
I think this is partially just bad luck and the injury risk they took on. Glasnow and Kershaw have long history of injuries so we can't be surprised there
10:05
They luckily have the depth to make it work and an offense that can carry them
Bill
10:05
M Harris (7 games - LAD, @ CIN, @ MIA) or JD Martinez (7 games - WAS, PHI) this week?  Need power.  JD has been in terrible slump.  Thank you.
Justin Mason
10:05
I think if you need power, JD is the answer
Patrick
10:06
Do you trust Canning against the Sox? He's had some rough outings even against bad offenses.
Justin Mason
10:06
I avoided it even though he was available in a few of my leagues. I just can't trust his volatility. However, you don't get easier matchups, so I don't blame anyone for doing it.
Save Chaser
10:07
Devin Williams' workload is being "closely monitored" per Pat Murphy. I just need SV. Would you hold or drop him for Foley or Green?
Justin Mason
10:07
hold
Sign my yearbook!
10:07
Hi Justin! For the flag in 15-team h2h 5x5, Soderstrom or Donovan at 1B this week? Thanks again for your sage wisdom this year.
Justin Mason
10:08
depends on what your team needs are. If you need power, then go with Soderstrom. If it is average or runs, then go Donovan
Reid at your own Risk
10:08
Is there anything Detmers can do today that would make you confident starting him at Houston?
Justin Mason
10:08
I am really intrigued by Detmers first two starts back. He looks more in command of his pitches, but his history of losing his command is so long, that I don't think I would risk it against Houston
Kutter Crawfish
10:08
Sit/start Kutter vs. Minnesota this week? Gave up 4 to the Yankees, but that's a scary lineup and the k's were back somewhat. Am I delusional?
Justin Mason
10:09
In a 15 teamer I would start him. In a 12 or shallower, I didn't personally.
Jojo
10:09
bench 1 in h2h points weekly matchup baz (bos, tor), Gil (@sea, oak), civale (phi, ari)? Win 10pts QS 5, K 1, ER -1.
Justin Mason
10:09
Civale
Last of the OFs
10:09
Varsho, Deluca, Moniak, or Jordyn Adams to close the season? OBP league, but homers matter more. (I realize Varsho is the best player of the 3, but his shoulder bothers me/him.)
Justin Mason
10:09
Varsho for power
BLC
10:09
JT Realmuto or Keibert Ruiz in weekly leagues? Razzball projections say Ruiz, but Realmuto has been hot recently (when healthy).
Justin Mason
10:10
I am going with Realmuto here.
Yankee E
10:11
Starting Josh Jung or Michael Busch this week?  Busch has been hot and has great team matchups (Oak and Wash), but probably faces four lefties and may sit at least twice?
Justin Mason
10:11
I think I am going Busch
Idiotic Failson
10:11
I picked Darvish up off the waiver wire for ultra cheap. Is he worth starting this year, and is he worth keeping for a low cost?
Justin Mason
10:13
I am going to start him this week for the White Sox start. I think he should be keepable next season for cheap personally. I kind of give him a pass for this season based on all the off the field personal stuff that derailed his return. Hopefully that is behind him coming into next season
Yankee E
10:13
Trusting Arrighetti or Schwellenbach this week?  Arrighetti may get two starts, but as the Padres for one and Schwellenbach has been more reliable?
Justin Mason
10:13
Schwellenbach is safer, but if you need the strikeout upside and win potential, I would take the Arrighetti two-step
Ken
10:14
Thanks for the chat as always. Trying to hang on to an in the money finish in a 5x5 roto. HR/R/AVG in that order are priority. For this week:
Hi Justin thanks for the chat. 5x5 roto, trying to hang on to the money. HR/R/AVG priority. Big decisions are 5th OF (Wallner or PCA) and 1B/CI who to sit (play two) between Burleson/Royce Lewis/Horwitz, who I just picked up because those other two are slumping bad..
Justin Mason
10:14
Lewis and Wallner
Yankee E
10:15
The fear with Schwellenbach is that he gives up HRs and is pitching in Cincy.  Well founded fear or overreaction?
Justin Mason
10:16
It is definitely a risk in Cincy, but he doesn't walk guys so if he does, it shouldn't hurt too bad
Jojo
10:16
Which of these seemingly benched hitters is likely to get more ab this week, conforto or m Vargas?
