especially if there is a K penalty

What do you expect from Cole Carrigg in the second half? Useable in a 12 teamer?

Nicklaus Gaut

1:38

ehh, not much outside of streaming at home

think the playing time will get squeezed more too

Welcome Back Carter?

1:39

Would you trust Carter Jensen for ROS, or are there any other sleeper catchers you’d trust? I dropped Sal Perez for Jensen about a month ago.

Nicklaus Gaut

1:39

I'd trust him enough to be starter that won't hurt me

1:40

but I would expect much more than replacement-ish value overall

1:41

sorry looking up some Roster%s

1:42

looking at lower rostered guys on Yahoo, I'm not sure I'd want any of them over Jensen

Siri or Taveras? Oddly, I find wRC+ is the closest number that equates to my league's single hitting stat. I must fill the slot so the player with the least likelihood to play may be the best choice. And yes, the league is nerdy.

Nicklaus Gaut

1:43

gimme Taveras

and yes, you know I love your nerdy leage ; )

J Jones has trouble going five. Do you see that continuing in the second half?

Nicklaus Gaut

1:44

I wouldn't bank on it

even pre-injury, going 4-5 wasn't that much less likely than going 6--7

Joshua Baez check

1:45

I'm starting to think we don't see him this year. Your thoughts?

Nicklaus Gaut

1:46

It's becoming less likely (outside of the proverbial cup of coffee) the more he keeps slumping.

basically hasn't hit anything since the late June homer-binge

let's see...

1:47

gross

.111/.183/.259 with a 32% K% since hitting his last HR

1:48

also, it's only 54 PA, so I'm not too stressed

but it certainly doesn't put any pressure on a call-up

RAGBRAI

1:49

Assuming he hits or is at least adequate, does Waldschmidt stay up ROS or does he bounce back and forth?

Nicklaus Gaut

1:49

I think he stays up barring looking overwhelmed

which I don't think he will be

It Follows

1:50

re: followers being annoying - I KNOW! Every time I add Spencer Miles he gets a regular start, so I cut him and then he gets an opener the week after, and then the cycle repeats. Driving me crazy!

Nicklaus Gaut

1:50

nothing else will quite make you question your second-guessing sanity

Yo, shi

1:51

Masataka Yoshida just hit a cheapie home run, but has solid projections, including a 108 wRC+ on oopsy. Is it time to jump back in? OBP league, debating him, Seigler and Braden Montgomery.

Nicklaus Gaut

1:51

oh my god this is so funny

what a cheapie!

1:52

328 ft, just watched it

but, also, just two nights ago, I was explaining the hilarity that is different stadium sizes to my wife

who was under the impression that there was some sort of basic standards

Nope!

1:53

it's whatever ridiculousness you choose.

and I was using Penskie pole homers as my most ridiculous example
