Ron Hassey's Gigantic Face

1:28

Any word as to why Keller had his start skipped today?

Paul Sporer

1:28

I can't find anything but maaaann it sucks to see him get moved to an ATL start!

John Olerud’s Helmet

1:29

Mr Paul,How goes it sir?! AL only league I need Ks but also need help in ERA and WHIP. Do I keep running Cease out there?

Paul Sporer

1:29

Oh mannn... I think ya gotta w/a 2-step next week (KC/MIN, both at home)

Rickey

1:29

would you chase Matt Manning, with the nice two start next week? Hed be replacing Jon Gray or Bello, at least for the one week. Or is Manning mostly just getting fortunate these past few weeks?

Paul Sporer

1:30

Bello is also lined up for 2 next wk while Gray has a trip to TOR so I can see going for Manning over Gray. Manning really hasn't shown standout skills despite good results so there's always risk, but I like him more than Gray next wk

Hi Paul, in 15-team 5x5 dynasty I must drop one of: E. Tovar, M. Vargas, J. Wiemer, L. Butler, or P. Meadows. Who would you boot? Thank you again.

Paul Sporer

1:36

Probably Butler. I like him, but Oakland isn't getting much better any time so he'll likely continue to lag in R/RBI enough to make him the worst option here

In his postgame interview, Kershaw said "I feel fine" five times in two minutes. Feels like conclusive proof that he does not, in fact, feel fine.

Paul Sporer

1:36

fine... a word with 29734938274 meanings and you never truly know which one the person using it means lol

leo

1:40

you rolling with grayson next week vs stl?

Paul Sporer

1:40

I am, yes

B'ryce Hammer

1:40

Oh man! Have I got a dillema for you Paul!

H2H, points league, assuming I'm making the final next week...

Which of these three rides the pine for me? C.J. Abrams, Royce Lewis, Ke'Bryan Hayes?

Paul Sporer

1:41

Oh wooow, that's tough! It might be Abrams just bc the weekend is v. the Milwaukee aces (Burnes/Woody/Peralta). All 3 have 7 games, so we're splitting hairs here.

Chip

1:41

While Schanuel was a fun distraction from the rest of the tire fire that is the Angels, he can't keep up this production, right? He just doesn't hit enough balls in the air.

Paul Sporer

1:44

Yeah I mean a 63% GB rate is unsustainable. We'll have to see if he's really THIS GB heavy next year before really assessing him

The Big (BIG) Red Machine

1:44

Does Cincy have far too many players for positions? What a buzzy, young team. There isn't a more exciting young team in baseball, but they have so many mouths to feed. I wonder if they'll trade India, or if I should just draft their entire offense as my fantasy offense next year.

Paul Sporer

1:45

They might make a move or 2 in the offseason, but having depth is a huuuge asset for teams so there's no need to really slim it down. Keeping guys fresh and having legit backups is a big plus

Guest

1:45

Pollack seems pretty worried about Wheeler vs. the Braves. I know they're absurd this year but those are starts even with some ratio sensitivity, right?

Paul Sporer

1:46

The Braves are terrifying for anyone but I can't envision sitting him anywhere

Kyle

1:46

Safe to say that Pepiot will join the LAD rotation going forward?

Paul Sporer

1:46

Nothing is ever safe to say w/the Dodgers, but I feel good that he will be there for the rest of this season at least and then join the pen in October

Does Chewbacca use TP?

1:46

Are you going to rank Gunnar or Volpe higher next year?

Paul Sporer

1:49

Probably Volpe by a little. I don't really believe he will be an AVG lag year-in, year-out and he's the more dynamic power-speed option.

Insert Witty Name Here

1:49

When my wife says she’s fine, I know EXACTLY what she means by it. I f***ed up somewhere.

Paul Sporer

1:49

lololol yes there are some "i'm fines" you don't want to hear from your significant other!

Darryl

1:49

Are you rolling with Littell tomorrow vs. Seattle? 12-team H2H playoffs.

Paul Sporer

1:51

That one is dicey, it's a coinflip in 12s. 7 HRs in his L5 have been a big reason behind the 5.53 ERA. I might look elsewhere for a better spot

B'ryce Hammer

1:51

FINE - Freaked out, Insecure, Neurotic, Emotional

Paul Sporer

1:52

lol we've all been there

I've definitely dropped some I'm fines when I'm very un-fine

The Rockies Fam System is Constantly Mismanaged

1:52

Adael Amador looks like a future star, and in Colorado no less. But he's only 20. How confident are you that they won't call him up until he's 23, play him part time until he's 26, and give him a full time job at 27?

Paul Sporer

1:53

LOL the dumbest possible path is ALWAYS on the table for Colorado. But they committed to Tovar this year at age-21 so that's encouraging. Hopefully the turn over the double play combo to him & Amador next yr and just let it roll!

I gotta check out a little early, y'all, I have a doctor appointment

Panik! At the Disco

1:54

I've locked down No. 1 seed in H2H 12-teamer playoffs so I'm looking to fine-tune my SPs for the playoffs. (I also have more than I need): Who're the most cuttable two on a staff of Eflin, Joe Ryan, Bryce Miller, Eury Perez, Tarik Skubal, Berios, Littell, Grayson, and Paxton? I could also mix it up with guys on the wire like Pepiot, Sheehan and Wicks.

Paul Sporer

1:54

I think you gotta put 'em all in a spreadsheet and map out the matchups. Except for Paxton, cut him. I can't envision starting him anywhere the rest of the way

Highest stuff+ in the WBC, man throws 97 mph invisiballs.

Paul Sporer

1:57

Let's go!! I can't wait to talk to Tim McLeod about him at First Pitch Arizona. He knows the JPL and KBO very well!

Alright, I have to get going. Thanks so much for coming out! Follow me on Twitter (@sporer), Twitch (sporer), and Instagram (p_sporer). I’ll be streaming on Twitch later today and you can definitely come by and ask questions about fantasy there. Have a good one, y’all!
