Why do you think Rays pitchers are all struggling this year - luck ran out or could they have changed something philosophically...

Paul Sporer

I think it's really the HRs w/the 2nd worst rate of 1.5 per 9. They are best in K-BB at 18% (interestingly the worst HR rate is Minnesota and they are 2nd in K-BB) so they haven't been pitching THAT much worse. But players live on thin margins between success and failure. And I wouldn't necessarily say their rotation is a failure, but it's definitely worse than last year bc of those longballs!

is it worth rostering 2 catchers ? got both smith and murphy

And playing 1 at DH or just rotating 'em at C? It's probably not worth it unless you really have an extra reserve spot and just don't want to cut a great C. I know trading can be tough, especially in 1-C lgs where it's easy to feel like you're doing fine w/a lot of different options.

Someone in my league just gave up on Mitch Keller. Add him and drop, say, Luis Severino? (And thanks for chatting!)

Paul Sporer

Is Vlad basically Nate Lowe now? Very similar stats since 2022, although Vlad has slightly more power.

Love the SP charts, but you’re really confident in miller at Coors off the IL?

Paul Sporer

2:16

Confident... not OVERLY, but the Rockies just haven't been great at home this year so I'm gonna run the should-be stud back out there!
