So I had an uncle who liked video games and played Nintendo baseball with me back in the day and one of the things I remember most is him using his previous cig to light the next lol

3:44

You rolling with Hendricks in Colorado tonight? I'm hoping cold rain will keep the run-scoring down

Paul Sporer

3:46

I would not, no

Concerns with David Price moving forward? 4.05 bb/9 so far this year. It's early but that's double his career average.

Rick James

3:46

Is it time to sell high on David Price? Is he just destined to go down?

Paul Sporer

3:47

Definitely don't love the walks, but I'm staying the course with Price ... or at least letting deals come to me as opposed to seeking out deals to trade him

Jake Junis Priest

When Migos says "I walk it like I talk it," does he mean that he walks in a halting, staccato manner?

Paul Sporer

3:47

Correct. It's very weird. And Migos is three people, not just one

Slow starting pitching

3:48

Tell me Archer will soon be Archer? I can deal with the slightly higher ERA & such, but this is ridiculious, he’s not even giving QS.

Paul Sporer

3:48

I can't tell ya that. Just worried about his inability to get out lefties or deep into games

JPL

3:49

Who do you like rest of year Mike Minor or Tyson Ross?

Paul Sporer

3:49

T-Ro

Big Tuna

3:49

RIP Avicii. Not generally a dance music fan, but I definitely had some fun to a bunch of his songs

Paul Sporer

3:49

Agreed. And so sad at age-28

3:49

I'm sure you've answered this in the past.. But on last week's Pod you seemed to be able to see all of your fantasy rosters really quickly, maybe simultaneously? What program are you using?

Paul Sporer

3:49

I just made an Excel file

3:49

Is Greg Holland worth my #1 waiver spot in a 12 teamer?

Paul Sporer

3:49

Chet

3:50

Great stuff as always Paul! Wondering you’re thoughts on Thames this year? Clearly still hates the Reds and everything they stand for, but do you see him improving on last year or more of the same?

Paul Sporer

3:50

LOL man he OWNS the Reds. It's hilarious. I don't think he's much different than last year: 30+ HR, .240-.250

Rick

3:51

Gausman just isn't impressing me so far. Your thoughts on him? I'm considering a drop this weekend for Mikolas, Estrada, or even Gohara.

Paul Sporer

3:51

I'd scoop Estrada or Mikolas over him

So I just wrote my first post for a fantasy site (happens to be one you used to write for) this week, giving some advice for an evening of daily fantasy. I promptly finished last in my 40-person contest using all the guys I wrote up. Do you remember some of your terrible early posts?

Paul Sporer

3:52

Oh for sure. I remember some terrible posts from last year... like when I lost my mind over Thames lol

Jeremy

3:52

Who gets the most Cy votes on the Astros rotation at year's end? Morton?

Paul Sporer

3:52

Cole

DRAGONWAGON

3:53

Tell Mackel he sucks at fantasy baseball and should give up.

Paul Sporer

3:53

Ya Mackel, just quit. Gosh.

Conundrum

3:53

I was just offered Giancarlo Stanton for my Charlie Blackmon straight up.. WHAT DO I DO?

Paul Sporer

3:53

Pass

Jimmy

3:53

Would you start Chris Archer tonight, or are you taking a wait and see approach?

Paul Sporer

3:54

OK so despite answering 2 questions with a negative outlook on Archer, I still don't think you can sit him. If you're rostering him, you gotta ride it out

Huh?

3:54

"I test my knowledge against anyone's." - Paul "Hey Paul, name any Minor Leaguer." - Bob "Ummm, Willy Mo Pena?" - Paul GTFOH

Paul Sporer

3:55

LOL, I know *some* minor leaguers!! Sorry I don't know the next up-and-coming nine year old

Rerops Laup

3:55

Garrett Richards for Schoop and J Montgomery....16 team h2h

Paul Sporer

3:55

Fair deal.

Mike

3:55

Do you believe in what Dansby is doing can last, or at least something close to this? What do you think his ceiling is now that we’ve entered his post hype phase

Paul Sporer

3:56

Nah, I see something like ZiPS .260/.340/.400. Better than last yr for sure, but not special

Sid

3:56

Is Gsellman this year's Peacock?

Paul Sporer

3:56

It'd be fitting for my penchant for being a year early on players. I liked Gsellman last year and he was awful lol
