they proceeded to explain to me how hard it is
RAGBRAI
1:14
I need to cut one-Winn or Baty?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:14
Baty
Freddy
1:16
is Emerson Hancock a fixture in the rotation, or does he start to fade?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:16
oh, I think he's pretty good
1:17
but his improvements have a lot to do with him finally unlocking a 25% K%
and that's resting on just a 10.8% SwStr%
1:18
which, to be fair, is up from previously
1:19
But his ultimate fantasy value will rest on whether or not his K's can actually become a consistest source of value
again, sorry for delay
as I've said previously,
1:20
no one forgets what day it is and calls during this chat, quite like my wife lol
Chopping block
1:20
I have Kenley Jansen coming off the IL imminently, followed, I hope, by Bubic and Abel. I can use more saves + holds in my 5x5 AL-only league, but I desperately also need wins, K's, ERA, and ratio. Please rank these pitchers in terms of the order in which I should dump them: Jake Bennett, Joey Cantillo, Ian Seymour, Spencer Miles, Connor Prielipp, Kumar Rocker. (My initial thought is that Cantillo is first on the chopping block.) Thanks so much.
Nicklaus Gaut
1:21
prolly be miles for me, followed by Cantillo
Beiber update?
1:21
When do you think Bieber will be returning? I don’t have an IL slot available but it were only talking a week, worth holding and waiting?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:22
seems next week is a certainty, barrring a setback
Full Monty
1:23
Hey! In an AL Only OBP league with about 20% of my FAABBucks left. Zero bids allowed. Do I throw it all on this new Montgommery or keep the powder dry?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:23
keep your clothes on, and powder dry
Al
1:24
Hi Nicholas, what is Agustin Ramirez’s outlook for the remainder of 2026, and also long-term? Ditto for Thayron Liranzo.  Thanks!!
Nicklaus Gaut
1:25
still like his long-term outlook (relative to him being a marlins catcher)
but wouldn't expect much value ROS
Dancin Homer
1:25
I’m sure you weren’t surprised to be right about McLean last week v. SD (and thanks!)   Still going with him v. a much better Braves lineup tonight?  And speaking of SD, Baz a good play tonight?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:26
I'm, like, the humblest person I know, so it actually hadn't even crossed my mind
I'm starting him vs ATL
like you said, much (much) better lineup, but it's still a solid matchup
1:27
Yea, gimme Baz, too
which is something I never say in drafts
RAGBRAI
1:28
What’s up with Mlod? Seems to be off his game the last few outings. A small blip or is this really who he is? How long is he piggybacking?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:28
ERA and FIP
handshake emoji
1:29
low whiffs with a lot of walks is fine line to ride
and he's starting to reap it
Elvis has Re-entered the Building
1:30
Can you rank these RPs or pick a couple faves, with saves desired: Elvis Alvarado, Justin Slaten, Jose Ferrer, Bryan King, Yennier Cano? Thanks! (I realize they are all sort of the same…)
Nicklaus Gaut
1:30
prolly Ferrer in front
1:31
followed by Slaten > Cano > King > Elvis
but you're right, a lot of sameness
but it gave me an excuse to rank them as King Elvis
Brady House
1:32
Am I returning to the Nationals anytime soon?
Nicklaus Gaut
1:32
does soon mean late-August?
Errrrceg
1:33
I have a cheap Erceg in my AL Only. I’m desperate for saves. He’s obviously been worth negative moneys so far. Curious if you think I should sit him, let him roll and hope for a vulture save like last weekend while risking a blowup non-save, or just cut for a better arm?
