Well well wells...
11:25
Tyler Wells is back! But so is Cantillo. Would you pick either up in a deep league or stick with a reliever?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:26
Congratulations, I guarantee you're the only person worldwide who's said that today.
I love it
but I'd still stick with Joey
damn, I used to love streaming some sneaky Wells
Maton
11:27
Been holding Maton since I so cleverly scooped him up after the trade deadline in AL Only. Time to move on, right? Cano, Sands, Leasure are all on the wire and have saves more recently. Do you have a preference?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:27
Yeah, moving time
11:28
Like all three more, prolly prefer Leasure
ugg, CHW closer
Argh Pee
11:28
Do you have any favorites from the morass of these al only relievers? Whitlock, Leasure, Hogan Harris, grant Taylor, sabrowski, nance? Thanks!
Nicklaus Gaut
11:28
Leasure!
11:29
see, White Sox fans - I don't just talk trash
Gaving In
11:31
Start Gavin @TB tomorrow in a deep league? TB has been hitting better lately, but Gavin’s been ok...
Nicklaus Gaut
11:31
Yeah, he's a pretty solid option in 15-teamers and deeper

Will T. Grisham pick up another salami this year?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:32
what, is that three now?
at this point, I'm not betting against him
11:33
you know he's going to hit an important one in the playoffs that will manage to enrage a nation
Hyphen
11:34
Please rank the rest-of-season for Sawyer Gipson-Long (bombed in his last outing, but then, so was Crochet), Luis Garcia (Hou), and Casey Mize.
Nicklaus Gaut
11:34
Garcia > Mize >> SGL
wiseoldfool
11:35
Durbin or Stott ROS?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:35
Stott
by a lot
C’mon Cameron
11:36
Noah Cameron got some extra rest but may be hitting a wall and has a mediocre schedule ahead, with maybe TOR and PHI and Sactown, depending on how they rest him. Where does he rank against Cristian Javier or a solid RP?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:36
It would depend on the quality of RP, but I wouldn't want to rely on either of those guys down the stretch
11:37
Cameron's at 140 IP right now, finished with 129 IP last season
11:38
nope
Idiotic Failson
11:38
Is Nola worth rostering in a 12 team keeper?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:38
now for that nope!
I had much higher hopes for his post IL(s) return and am still bullish for 2026
11:39
but he's not worth the slot right now in a 12-teamer, unless you get a whole mess of keepers

If you have 1st round bye, how do you use it to prepare for your next matchup?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:42
Most important for me is to get dialed in on all of your likely pitching matchups.
you'll have your obvious starts, but I want to know all of my options/pivots
dumboldman
11:43
What is your outlook on Strider next year?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:45
Not very bullish
We're over 100 innings in and velocity is still far from what we saw from Strider prime
11:46
also, I'm sure I'll have tons of shares at what I assume will be a fantastic discount!
Holding the Mayo
11:47
Up, down, or in the middle on Coby Mayo for 2026? Strikeout rate is high at 29% but 9% BB rate and BABIP is .240
Nicklaus Gaut
11:47
Down
