decent ratios, lots of K's

but assuming health with this fellow Nick is a big ask

Bieber expectations?

1:21

I claimed Bieber on waivers and didn’t rage drop him. Recognizing his season is just beginning, how long a leash would you give him to decide whether to stick with the him ROS?

Nicklaus Gaut

1:22

I'm not rage-dropping either (yet!) but the leash is tight and short

RAGBRAI

Pitching roster crunch. Activating Pagan and need to cut one of Adam, Mlod, Vesia or Ashby. NL 5x5 S+H league. Thanks in advance.

Nicklaus Gaut

1:22

Mlod

and you're welcome!

1:23

I’ve got griffin coming back (nl only dynasty) soon. Do I drop Tovar ($15) McLain ($15) or Blake Dunn ($10 replacement pick - all replacements are this price)?

Nicklaus Gaut

1:23

Dunn

Wetherholt ROS Thoughts?

1:24

Wetherholt has started to figure things out! What are your expectations for him ROS?

Nicklaus Gaut

1:24

I expect him to continue owning my heart

1:25

Sidebar: our athletic association had a night at the Cardinals game on Tuesday (they get to walk the field, it's super fun)

when JJ came up, my daughter went, "ugg, Dad, is that the guy you looo-ooove so much??"

yes, yes it is

No questions this week, Nicklaus, just a thanks for all the help!

Nicklaus Gaut

1:25

You're welcome!

Dancin Homer

1:26

Would you drop Baz or Soriano to pick up Burke or Roupp? I hate them all, but someone has the pitch for me, I guess. Thanks!

Nicklaus Gaut

1:26

I'd hold the hate you have

it's worth more than the hate in the bush?

Carter

1:26

Huge Marlins fan here… I’m trying to convince others that the Marlins need to go all in and trade for Joe Ryan to cement the rotation along with building around Otto Lopez and Xavier Edwards. Any thoughts on the Marlins being big buyers during this deadline?

Nicklaus Gaut

1:26

Unfortunately, I come bearing bad news from the future...

1:27

The Marlins do not, in fact, go all in

I'm sorry

I want Marlins fans to be treated better too

I also love that triad of Otto, X, and Joe

but alas

TJ Rumfield

1:28

Numbers (and splits!) look solid. Statcast is less optimistic. What say you?

Nicklaus Gaut

1:28

I remain highly optimistic

I'm a statcast guy and all, but the lowered bar for COL players must be considered

Two Strikes and No Balls

1:29

Three young players I have on my Roto 6 x 6 league. Curious from what you have seen of them what you think. First is Henry Bolte, Second is Caleb Durbin & Third is Braden Montgomery. All three have been hot lately but where do they stand ROS?

Nicklaus Gaut

1:29

Braden > Durbin > Bolte

1:30

I was so high on Durbin this year

I'm glad he's at least doing some of the work needed to repair our relationship

1:31

Jackson Merril (high ceiling, disappointment) or Jung Hoo Lee (good ratios, not much else) ROS in a 6x6 H2H Categories league (w/ OPS)?

Nicklaus Gaut

1:31

Still Merrill

damn it, still Merrill!
