Suarez, Quantrill, Lauer for me. I really love Cobb and always have since his TB days, but we can't ignore the brutal health track record so he can't make the cut for me. And I just prefer the other 3 over German bc of German's persistent HR issue

Jung Bong Jovi

i do admit that it's hard to focus on fantasy when the Phils and Barves are trying to stumble their way into the playoffs. But boy, what a game by Morton last night. And the Fresh Prince, as per usual, nearly blew it. Ugh.

Paul Sporer

As a Tigers fan, I faintly remember that feeling (though it's been a helluva building block season so the Tigers might be back in the situation sooner than later!). Maybe following the pennant races will be a good distraction to avoid living and dying w/every pitch for your players

No one is forcing that guy to dig into analytics. Let others enjoy baseball their way, the same way you want to be able to enjoy it yours. There’s plenty to love! Analytics have expanded on that for some people, but the old majesty of the game has never left it. A team like the 2021 Giants is exciting even to the people who made projections for them I imagine!

Paul Sporer

Yeah, that's where I come out. I love the stats and use them regularly, but I know they aren't an end-all, be-all and I don't intend to ever use them that way. But ignoring the facts that the data can give us when it runs counter to what we want to believe doesn't make a lot of sense to me, either

Mike

Not that he was telling people how to enjoy the game. Complaining about things you don’t like can be part of the fun too!

Paul Sporer

2:34

That's true. And I'm certainly not above complaining, lol

Would you start Jmont sat vs TB in NY?

Paul Sporer

2:35

Yes in most cases, he's a go for me. Again, the super specific scenarios of ratio protection and whatnot can be a sit, but otherwise I'm going w/him

Tommy

Thanks for the chats and help this season!

Paul Sporer

2:35

You're quite welcome!

2:36

Just another reminder in case anyone missed the open of the chat, this is the final one of the regular season and while they absolutely will continue in the offseason, there will be misses from time to time due to holidays, trips, etc...

How many games should we expect to miss from hitters on teams that clinched division the next few days? Not sure what we've seen in previous years. Or does it just depend on the player (young vs old, injury history). Shouldn't be more than one or two for them to keep their rhythm, right? E.g. I'd expect Alvarez to sit given some injury history if they clinch today or tmrw

Paul Sporer

There's usually a clinch lineup the following day which I assume is to reward the starters, but also bc of the partying lol. Though in the case of StL, they might eschew such a thing bc of their win streak. But ya, I usually expect some of the studs to catch a breather the day after a clinch and then if someone was grinding through an injury, he could miss more to gear up for October once they clinch

Hey Paul, thanks for the weekly chat. Since everything for this year is out of our hands, let's look at keepers for 2022 (12tm, 6x6 roto, $260 budget). Keep 3: J. Soto - $35, W. Buehler - $35, C. Burnes - $34, M. Olson - $17, M. Semien - $9, A. Verdugo - $7, N. Eovaldi - $6.

It's gotta be Soto, Olson, and Semien right?

Paul Sporer

2:38

Absolutely my trio and then hammer pitching at auction!

Who are some under the radar starters to stream Thu Fri Sat Sun?

Paul Sporer

2:39

Don't want to spec too far out bc of schedule changes, but I'll be continuing my SP chart: https://fantasy.fangraphs.com/category/sp-chart

2:40

In fact, I need to get going on tomorrow's (which will post later today) since I have trivia tonight. So I'm going to get going. Thank you all for an amazing season of chats, the support and interaction is awesome. I always look forward to chopping it up w/y'all on Wednesdays!

Thanks so much for coming out! Follow me on Twitter (@sporer), Twitch (sporer), and Instagram (p_sporer). Have a good one, y’all!
