Mad Bum

3:55

I'm out here throwing 87, 88 on occasion. Thinking about dropping myself. Talk me out of it.

Paul Sporer

3:56

I mean, he's never succeeded on velo so I'm not sure it matters that much

billyhaze

3:56

Shed Long on my bench in Main with 2 steals.

Paul Sporer

3:56

Is it just me or does leaving SBs on the bench sting most? More than HRs or SP gems for me, espec. when the SP gems are against tough teams because I was streaming the guy anyway

Ramie Shalabi

3:56

Is Sean Doolittle worth holding onto even if he isn't closing? Non holds league, categories include IP, K, K/9, ERA, WHIP, SV, W.

Paul Sporer

3:57

If he's not closing, no, definitely not. Has there been definitive word on the WAS situation?

Brad

3:57

Hi Paul, if the dealer is showing 10 in blackjack, do you hit on 16? Thanks.

Paul Sporer

3:58

I'm the worst at blackjack so yes I do hit and promptly get a 10.

Ham Porter

3:58

Who are the top guys that have slumped out of the gates that you are concerned about?

Paul Sporer

3:58

None. I'm not concerned about star-level talent yet.

Bueller

3:58

Bryant for Chapman? Yeah or nay?

Paul Sporer

3:58

It's fine. Kinda samesies so just pick your favorite, I guess

Ham Porter

3:59

Which team has impressed you the most so far and why is it the Blue Jays?

Paul Sporer

4:01

Gotta be honest, it's the Cubs for me. Their pen sucks as planned, but their starters have really stood out and their offense has covered that horrific pen. I think it'll catch up to them, but it's an impressive start

scott

4:01

are people sleeping on garrett richards?

Paul Sporer

4:02

No I think he got some late draft juice. I know Justin and I have been beating the drum for him and ranked relatively high. Talent isn't the question at all. He has frontline stuff, but he needs to stay healthy

Jim Leyland Palmer

4:02

10tm league 5x5, how patient should I be with Nick Anderson? Just had Gallegos activated

Paul Sporer

4:02

I don't think you have to be all that patient. He'll get some starts, but he was wildly overdrafted this year. I looove the talent, but we know TB just doesn't really settle on one guy very often

Aceman

4:03

Ok with picking up Brady Singer deep 12tm points,Have Uriquidy, Verlander and Puk

Paul Sporer

4:03

Yes, for sure. I was picking him up this past weekend. Got him in a 12 and 15

Frankie

4:03

Are you watching the Montas start? Why so many hits?

Paul Sporer

4:04

I am. Because the ball is landing fairly in play and out of the reach of a fielder... lol, whattya talkin about? 5 H in 5 IP isn't really an issue. It's 5 1B

The Shooter

4:04

Do you see Anthony Bass as the closer in Toronto? It seems like Jordan Romano is the arm to own there.

Paul Sporer

4:04

He's been announced as such by manager Charlie Montoyo

Stop the Pressley

4:04

Haven't put him on the IL.

Paul Sporer

4:05

Oh snap, that's right. I'd just cut him with Osuna back

Nate

4:05

Can you find some magic pixie dust somewhere to help Josh James throws strikes more? Feel like that dude is a tweak away from becoming a monster

Paul Sporer

4:05

I think he will perpetually be, though. He's just that kinda guy we fawn over what could be and then finally goes to relief

G Money

4:05

Tony Gonsolin, looks to be coming up to pitch on Friday. Should he be scooped up in a 16 team league and does he stick?

Paul Sporer

4:06

Too tough to say if he sticks, espec. if Kershaw is back soon. But yes, scoop him for the spot at ARI (solid team, but not terrified of them)

4:06

If you look at Pomeranz stats once going to the Brewers he was basically Hader. While I doubt he gets many saves, he should still be an elite arm for 5x5...right?

Paul Sporer

4:10

Yeah he's a monster. Def a rosterable RP in some mixers if it makes sense for your roster construction. I also think he's next in line behind Yates if anything were to happen, ahead of Pagan

Chase

4:11

I know you love Civale, but does he get enough Ks to be drafted top 30 next year?

Paul Sporer

4:14

Showed strong Ks in the minors and opened the season with 9 and a 16% SwStr

billyhaze

4:14

Pearson goes 3 innings ,

Paul Sporer

4:14

Is that set? I missed it if so
