How would you rank arrighetti, darvish, schlittler, zebby, verlander and Sheehan?
Justin Mason
12:24
Zebby unless my ratios are a place I can lose a bunch of points

Have those 'Julio and Vlad Jr have been draft busts (again)' storylines died down yet this year?  I'll take 'disappointing' 30-30 100-100 & .300 30hr 100-100 seasons every year in the second round.  Sometimes it's about floor.
Justin Mason
12:25
This is always crazy to me. Maybe they dont always return first round value, but the value in picking guys like this is that they always return great value by the end of the season. Buy low on these guys anytime they struggle

With only weeks left to play is there still time to make significant gains in OBP category? If I am .3223 is it possible to get to .3300 and move up three spots?
Justin Mason
12:26
Ok, so what I recommend is spreadsheeting this out. What would it take in your league to make that kind of jump. It's different for every league depending on the depth and the other teams involved so its a hard question to answer, but the short answer is the ratios move a lot more than people normally think at this time of the season

Hold a bad save spec (Maton, Grant Taylor, Enns) or a better set-up man (Matt Brash)?
Justin Mason
12:27
Brash

what is going on with Spencer strider? Does he regain his form next year?
Justin Mason
12:28
Two bad starts recently has ruined his line a little, but I think he is still a top 10-15 guy heading into next year

Let’s hear about your favorite sandwich
Justin Mason
12:29
I love a good philly cheesesteak. Unfortunately for me, I have yet to find one living in the Bay Area. I miss the east coast sometimes.

No consistency with Tanner bibee, any signs he can  regain last years form over the next 6 weeks? Or is he just a streamer going forward?
Justin Mason
12:29
Streamer for this year

At the beginning, all was hope and promise and beauty. Now, things are grim, with frustrations mounting and absences increasing. And you can't help but wonder if the halcyon days were just a product of what could've been, and the current bleak slog is how it's going to be, and maybe things were never that great in the first place--and that someone else catching your eye is not a sign of moral failing but a realization that something new must come along for your to truly live.  12 team H2H keeper, drop Rutschman for Baldwin, Kirk, Dingler?
Justin Mason

Drop kirk
Two points awarded for creativity and making me laugh

Playing a meaningless h2h cats matchup this week against a team ill face in the playoffs for the 2 weeks after this one. Wondering if I test my playoff strategy now or hide what Im going to do when it matters. Or maybe it doesnt make a difference?
Justin Mason
12:31
Probably doesnt make a difference unless you really think it would make them change theirs.

With Jung Hoo Lee's catch of a ball with his knees, do you think there is a chance he gets traded to the Savannah Bananas in the off season?
Justin Mason
12:31
That was the most insane thing I have seen in a bit. I wonder who we would get back from the Bananas though. That might be the sticking point.

you all are on fire today!

Caught a lot of injuries over the past week in my 12 team roto. In first place, but top three are very close. My IL is overflowed now, are you dropping any of Wheeler, Kyle Stowers, Max Muncy, Aranda, Michael King, Kyle Bradish? Or do I wait and see about recovery news over the next few days?
Justin Mason
12:33
I think you can drop Stowers and Wheeler here for sure. Maybe even Muncy since oblique injuries usually take 4-to-6 weeks to recover from and there is only six weeks left.

Please help me cope about Aaron Nola after yesterday (woof)
Justin Mason
12:33
That was rough. At least football is starting soon?
Kyle
12:33
Keeper league - is McClain worth keeping? Any better expectations for next year?
Justin Mason
12:34
I really want to do a deep dive on him this offseason. I was expecting a bounce back all season and it just never came
Novak
12:34
Amattos in San Jose great cheesesteaks
Justin Mason
12:34
Ok! I will definitely check that out when I am in SJ next. Thank you!
RAGBRAI
12:34
I'm glad I didn't activate Nola for his first start back. Is he safe to activate now? How do you see ROS?
Justin Mason
12:35
I think it is a gamble, but it's not a bad matchup vs Washington at home.
Idiotic Failson
12:35
Some people do self destructive things like text their toxic ex or get in a bar fight when they are in a period of self doubt, I decided to roster and start Aaron Nola

I am really laughing hard today guys. Thank you so much for keeping it going well this late into the season

Pick 1 for this week only in a 12tm H2h pts: Xavier Edwards, Michael Harris II, Brian Reynolds?
Justin Mason
12:36
Reynolds
Aaron
12:36
It seems like Ben Rice's expected stats have been outpacing his real ones all season.  Are they more likely than not to converge ROS?  His xwOBA leads the league over the last month plus.  Been frustrated with Michael Busch at 1B and looking at replacements in my 10 team 6x6 (OBP) league.  Vaughn, Manzardo, Schanuel, Walker also out there.
