Yep, I'm running right there w/you on Libby first and then Junk. Gotta see Mlod start missing some more bats but I'm intrigued by them giving him an opener

Mike

Abel or Weathers in 12-team H2H. The Abel two step next week has me leaning that way.

Paul Sporer

1:57

Yeah the 2-step setup for Abel is enough to give him the push. They're close on pure talent so then schedule can be the decider

Rich

Gleyber was dropped in my league. Pick him up and release Luis Garcia? Also could release E Tovar? OBP league

Paul Sporer

1:59

Definitely prefer him to Garcia. He's still taking his walks. That .239 BABIP should turn, though he needs to start hitting the ball harder

Idiotic Failson

1:59

Not sure if you've noticed, but Ben Rice is a good hitter.

Paul Sporer

1:59

Ben Aroz for life!

Kevin

How much longer before we decided that this is just what Austin Riley really is?

Paul Sporer

2:00

I'm giving him at least a month

4’8” guy

2:00

Why do you hate me?

Paul Sporer

2:00

lol

Mick Abel

2:01

has the light come on? trust him yet as auto-start?

Paul Sporer

2:03

Maybe not auto, but he's got some runway. I'm not cutting him as soon as he has a bad start. I realize it's easy to say now that he has 13 straight scoreless IP, but this is why I don't like cutting my breakout late picks off 1-2 starts.

Cags

2:04

Tell me something good plz?

Paul Sporer

2:04

He came up with a great nickname for Carter Jensen: The Big Snooze

Bubic

2:04

am I for real? breakout season?

Paul Sporer

2:05

I think he's already broken out, injury is the only thing that has stopped him lately. Don't make long term plans with him, but enjoy every inning we get!

Hook Em

2:06

We know that a velocity loss of 2-3 mph is bad but is it possible that a velocity bump of 2-3 mph is also bad (as it often seems to be a precursor to injury)?

Paul Sporer

2:06

Oh for sure. It's certainly a positive for your results, but it absolutely raises your injury risk, especially if the boost takes you in the high-90s.

CroneZone

2:07

You said to be patient with Tatis and I have been. He seems more engaged after moving to 2B for a couple games, but still no homers. Do you put this down to the San Diego marine layer? Something else?

Paul Sporer

2:07

A guy like Tatis is getting ~250 PA before I'm even considering benching him. Superstar talents are set it and forget it!

Derek

2:09

Could Evan Carter be in the midst of finally taking a step forward? Worth rostering in 12 team mixed 5x5 with OPS instead of BA?

Paul Sporer

2:10

Yeah it's always health with Carter, not talent. I think a fully healthy Carter can be really good. I don't mind taking a shot in a 12 teamer as that .258 BABIP should definitely improve

Craig Albernaz

2:11

Bradish gives-up 4 ER in 6IP. ERA sitting at an ugly 5.45. Yikes! Or, it’s still early.

Paul Sporer

2:13

It's not greeeaaatt, but at least it was only 1 BB today. And 6 IP is nice. The results haven't been great, though. Not doing anything until we get through next week's 2-step and even then, I'd bench before I'd cut. I don't think he's so far off that he can completely come out of this

Rah Rah

2:13

Do you still think Nasim Nunez will hit .270? lolll

Paul Sporer

2:14

Did you think my Bold Predictions article was a projection? Don't make your misunderstanding of the concept everyone one's else problem, lollll

Jay

2:14

Cut PCA for Angel? PCA wOBA at like 0.250 over his last 90 games...

Paul Sporer

2:15

No! If you were going to move off him this fast, you shouldn't have drafted him so early!

About Bradish

2:15

Just an FYI that some of those runs against Bradish today came on an awful misplay in the OF that was ruled a triple. Should've been an error.

Paul Sporer

2:15

Oh good to know, I have STL-CLE on

Dustin May

2:16

Looking good again today! Yeah baby!🥰

Paul Sporer

2:16

Yeah he got his ERA below 7.00 today!! (only 2 swinging strikes... he's just not great)

Help

2:18

Drop Baz or Cantillo ? 12T smaller rosters Yahoo daily roto I have Lodolo coming back

Paul Sporer

2:18

I'd probably lean dropping Baz b/w the two, but also check their next 3-4 starts to see if there's a big edge one way or the other

Rah Rah

2:18

your bold prediction was the steals, no? what are we to take "Full Line: .272-7-53-48-43" to mean? that the whole line is a bold prediction? it's okay to admit the projection was outlandish...

Paul Sporer

2:18

It's ok to admit my Bold Prediction was... bold. Wow, you got there!

Chucky

2:19

Aaron Nola, cooked? Example of an aging pitcher handed an extension who kinda took the money and ran?

Paul Sporer

2:21

I don't mind spotting him in nice spots, but his 1.5 HR9 since 2023 is scary

2:22

Ok y'all, I gotta head out. Thanks for coming through, back same time next week!
