Mike

How do you feel about Hunter Brown at OAK tonight?

Paul Sporer

1:22

I meeean, I'm definitely starting him, but given how his teammates have done v. OAK, who the heck knows how this will go?! lol

Josiah Gray

1:22

Next two starts projected against PIT & CWS. Tell me he can have less than a walk per inning in those two

Paul Sporer

1:22

I cannot lie to you!

Kyle Hurt

1:22

O/U .5 saves for him ROS including playoffs?

Paul Sporer

1:23

Probably under as I'm not sure he can make the playoff roster given when he was called up (though I know there always seems to be a workaround for that rule)

Jax

1:23

Would you drop Francisco Alvarez for Varsho?
Cease for Ragans/Javier/Cobb?

Paul Sporer

1:24

Prob just holding Alvarez... Cease for Cobb, but more bc Cobb has at COL/at LAD in his next 2 as opposed to any real trust in Cease

Cypher

1:25

With the uncertainty around Ohtani... would you pick up India or Bryant in the meantime?

Paul Sporer

1:25

Gimme KB

Kyle

1:25

Would Dallas Keuchel been your top SP today had you written the SP article? Don't lie just because you have seen how he's pitched today!

Paul Sporer

1:25

lololololol you caught me!!

I had a whole extra essay about his greatness planned out, too!

Farhandrew Zaidman

1:26

Did you see Kyle Hurt last night? Dude looks LEGIT, 97-98 with two plus secondaries.

Paul Sporer

1:27

Yeah he looked filthy. LA is such a factory. BTW, their bullpen could become a strength in the playoffs as they trim down their rotation... even if they can't finagle Hurt onto the roster

Chip

1:27

Someone cut a cheap Verlander in my Otto league whom I was happy to scoop up.

Paul Sporer

1:27

Yeah I co-sign that even despite my anger at the OAK start

Chip

1:27

And what about Tanner Houck against the Yankees? He's not great, but neither are the Yanks.

Paul Sporer

1:28

Houck is streamble, but far from a must start

Sam

1:28

I'm benching Chris Sanchez vs Atlanta right?

Paul Sporer

1:28

10000%

Carlos Correa Oppenheimer

1:28

Is Correa droppable for a streamer at this point? Or would you keep Correa and drop Volpe or Nootbaar?

Paul Sporer

1:33

Correa is actually hitting pretty well in September so I'm OK sticking w/him.

Andy Dirks

1:33

Paul, which of these potential streams do you like best for the rest of this week: France vs KC , Hendricks vs ARI, any of the three Angels pitching against the Tigers this weekend (Canning, Anderson, Detmers). Thanks!

Paul Sporer

1:34

I'd probably go Detmers v. my Tigers. Hendricks is probably 2nd despite ARI being a challenge for any SP

Carlos Correa Oppenheimer

1:34

Not a question, but having to keep Ohtani on the bench but not in an IL spot during the H2H playoffs is frustrating. Holding strong, but... gaaah

Paul Sporer

1:35

Suuuper frustrating

JoeG

1:35

I just dropped Sean (I get more days off than I play) Murphy for O'Hoppe is a Deep One Catcher Daily Roto. Good move or Not Smart ? Thanks Paul

Paul Sporer

1:35

Understandable at this juncture. Wouldn't OK it in anything but a down the stretch situation like this where you need every PA you can get

Fluffernutter

1:35

Polanco or Davis Schneider? I am very skeptical of Schneider keeping it up for extended periods of time, but then again the season is almost over, so maybe he can stay hot the rest of the way?

Paul Sporer

1:37

Yeah Schneider has a .500 BABIP which has to come down, but as you point out, time might just run out before regression fully strikes. I think I'd just stick w/Schneider!

Ryan

1:37

Would you start Bryce Miller against LAD this weekend if ERA/WHIP are right in a h2h?

Paul Sporer

1:38

If a dud doesn't kill you and you just want the Ks & a chance at a win (not a great chance, but a chance nonetheless), I'm OK w/it

Guest

1:38

what seems harder to do at this point in a fairly deep 12T roto (13 starting hitters): pick up an RBI per day or lose .005 total OBP?

Paul Sporer

1:38

the RBI per day feels a little tougher I think

Guest

1:38

too-early 2024 talk: Manny was looking really rough until those 2 HR on Monday ... what kind of ADP drop could he be looking at and where would you be in?

Paul Sporer

1:40

Weird season where his July is basically carrying his line (1092 OPS, 11 HR) so I think he will drop into the 4th-5th rd area, a totally fair price IMO

Sean

1:40

Logan Allen or Taj Bradley better 2 start option next week?

Paul Sporer

1:41

Allen isn't guaranteed for 2 next wk, right? I'd lean Taj w/both at home even if Allen does get the weekend start

Elly

1:41

might be winding down for the season batting 7th yesterday and off today?
