Everything is there except the singles. A .213 BABIP is really hurting him and keeping him at .219 AVG, but it should regress w/the way he's smashing the ball. I'm buying. He is destroying the ball

Can we just appreciate that Dylan Cease, of the 97mph heat, has a sub 80mph change up?

RE: "Thoughts on Nestor?" I was pretty vague because I just have so many questions and I'm surprised no one seems to be doing a deep dive on him despite almost a year of dominance from him. Do you expect him to be an elite arm ROS? If not, what do you expect from him? Are you buying, holding or selling?

Brilliant command can carry you as long as it holds and that's exactly what he's doing right now. Obviously, the .227 BABIP and 8% HR/FB rate will regress and I'm using the 4.06 ERA/1.23 WHIP projections as my guideline expectation. That's at least a team streamer in 10s and up so while rolling, he's an all formats/every start guy right now and if he strings a few ugly starts together, we can re-assess to see what's up. I'm definitely not jumping after the first bad start or anything

When are you doing another Twitch broadcast?

Tomorrow morning at 9:30am CT, reviewing Wednesday's boxscores. I miiiight be on after trivia tonight, but it's not guaranteed so I don't want to promise that. I do the boxscore show Tu (8:30am CT)-We (9:30am)-Thu (9:30am) mornings and video game streams w/MLB The Show & Out of the Park Baseball 4-5 nights a week and I'll be live Thu-Fri-Sat evenings with games for sure. https://twitch.tv/sporer

Speaking of mustaches...Spencer Strider just came in and Ked the side on 11 pitches. Dude, and his 'stache, are filthy.

I feel like Nathan is just daring me to write another 2K words about Nestor.

Do it! Do it! Do it!! https://fantasy.fangraphs.com/nestor-cortes-is-for-real/

Is A.J. Melendez going to be good enough for a 10 team, one catcher league? Would he be an upgrade over the likes of Keibert Ruiz or Mitch Garver?

2:49

(A.J. should have been M.J.)

Paul Sporer

2:50

That trio is definitely close. I think you have to go personal preference/team needs there. Garver is pop, Keibert is AVG, and MJM can be a hybrid of both. I'd probably go MJM, Keibert, Garver

Stream Silseth v Oakland? Worried at all that it’ll be the same team seeing him again?

Paul Sporer

2:51

I am starting him in the 1 lg I got him. Data says nothing tangible from 2 starts in a row with the 1st not really impacting the 2nd so it could go either way after last week's gem. I'm willing to take a shot again a weak offense like OAK

2:56

OK y'all, I gotta finish Boxscore Bits (usually gonna be later on Wednesdays based on my schedule) and get it posted! Thanks so much for coming out! Follow me on Twitter (@sporer), Twitch (sporer), and Instagram (p_sporer). I’ll be streaming on Twitch tomorrow morning at 9:30am CT and you can definitely come by and ask questions about fantasy there. Have a good one, y’all!

Who's on your Mustache Mt. Rushmore for 2022? I got Nestor (obs), Strider, Cease, and Yastrzemski.

Honestly, I think this is perfect. No notes!

OK bye for real!
