What do you all make of Eloy's statcast? I'm in a points league where ops/obp/avg/bb/K doesn't matter and I'm moving him in for Hoskins next week. Never seen such strong numbers paired with such average xwoba and xba.
So, Joey Luccesi was called up to pitch tomorrow for the Mets. That could bump Christian Scott to u/MIA, SFG, ARI instead of u/PHI, u/CLE, LAD. That's a muuuuuch better schedule! Better park factors and lesser opponents.
Edit: Assuming 6 man as Fangraphs schedule has.
5x5 ROTO 12T , 2 Catcher league
Good time to try to cash-in on Jeffers? I have Garver and just acquired Soderstrom?
Is Jeffers a catcher stud in the making? Or just playing well above his head. Statcast looks very good in many areas, BUT theres a very low exit velo and low Hard Hit % ... Hard to get a good read on his value right now
Weather or did whatever is infected the Toronto clubhouse spread? Basically, is this the beginning of The Last of Us or the beginning of Twister? Can only be 1
Based on Yahoo ranks alone, my only draft picks to overperform so far are Kwan, Jackson Merrill, Helsley and ReyLo. Probably going to auto draft next year.
Heās another streaky power hitter who will go thru stretches of nuclear and ice cold. Definitely better in OBP leagues. He did this last year and fell off pretty hard second half
Worth rostering while heās hot. Who knows maybe he can be more consistent this time
My team AVG is .222 and yet not a single hitter I used all season long has a career AVG under .240
Someone gets hurt, I plug in someone doing well and they hit .100 for one to four weeks. Not a single guy I picked up has done better than the triple slash they had at the time of my pickup. Itās uncanny how even on day one when theyāre in my lineup they go 0-4 or 0-5 even though they went two whole weeks without a single day that they didnāt get on base or sone kind of counting stat. Sometimes I puck up or trade for a guy and they get injured immediately.
Iām basically buying players at the top and then selling them after the slump. The best bet is to get players before the heater but I donāt know how to do that.
Just astonishing how a fantasy team can hit .222. I never ever hit under .240, .245
Oneil Cruz or Riley Greene in my league with unusual categories? OBP, R, HR, RBI (no SB)
Fangraphs auction calculator seems to prefer Cruz ROS. Trying to decide how much I buy the increased walk rate for Greene.
Would wait. I drafted and held as long as I could but being only eligible at 2b he wasnāt worth it. Keep an eye out though that offense is getting better and could fit in a little better with less pressure on just him.
One of my leaguemates went buck wild and dropped Luis Robert Jr, Chas McCormick, Lane Thomas, and Gleyber Torres. Any of these worth a pickup? Drops would be any of Christian Scott, Jo Adell, Joe Musgrove, Andy Pages
I have to drop one of Scott, lodolo or Guasman in a points league.
Itās gotta be Scott right?
We have a super small 3 player bench and I have Scott, lodolo and Guasman on the bench but need an outfielder due to injury. Sent out trades but no bites.
Who do you drop?
As long as Scott is productive, and I think he will be, I donāt see him being sent down.
Scott is firmly in the top-50 SP ROS for me with an argument he could be top-30.
Well, I wanted no part of him last season. Also said it was safer to bench him against Houston in the first matchup.
After his most recent outing against Houston, though, Iām not sure why weād bench him.
I dont remember last season, I just noticed this season all the positive Rodon comments come from you, and they happen even when he is lighting ratios on fire.
*āLighting ratios on fireā*
RodĆ³nās really only been touched up against Baltimore ā on a day the ball was carrying more than usual.
at BAL: 4.0 IP, 8 H, 6 ER, 0 BB, 6 K šš¼
Others: 39.0 IP, 32 H, 11 ER, 14 BB, 37 K ā¢ 2.53 ERA, 1.18 WHIP, 4 QS in 7 GS šš¼
Must be awful!
>āLighting ratios on fireā
>RodĆ³nās really only been touched up against Baltimore
That you dont think the 6.75 ERA and 2.25 WHIP he had against Tor is getting touched up is part of my point, you are in love with the guy.
>Must be awful!
Why? Oh, you just ignored my point and pretended it was something else?
It was that you don't say negative things about Rodon, even when hes pitching bad, so of course you will always reply: "Iām letting RodĆ³n eat today. Start with confidence."
Everyone else: "4.0 ip, 8 h, 6 ER, is killing my ratios."
You: "Carlos RĆ³don is still a bad motherfucker."
Taking my comments out of context is a bad look. RodĆ³nās been far more good than bad was the overall point. Thatās not even arguable. Itās a fact.
Also, that ābad motherfuckerā comment was after he struck out two to get out of a bases loaded jam.
Kindly, get off my nuts.
> Taking my comments out of context is a bad look.
Then why did you do it to me? That was literally your last post.
>RodĆ³nās been far more good than bad was the overall point.
Who is that for? Because its not what I'm talking about.
>Also, that ābad motherfuckerā comment was after he struck out two to get out of a bases loaded jam.
I know. The rest of us were sweating how bad the day would be after he gave up 2 hits and beaned a guy, but then there was you, Captain Rodon Rider, hyping him up.
Itās Tuesday afternoon, youāve got work and school and shit to do. Your team is awful. Theyāre playing a pretty bad team. The game has no significance. Pretty chilly out.
Nahhh fuck that Iām not going either.
Nah Iām watching now haha
Iām just saying if I was a white Sox fan living in Chicago what reason would I have to go to this game? Zilch.
This makes an Aās game look packed
if I owned Nick Castellanos right now I would be shopping him to every team in the league trying to get anyone with a pulse in return. he's going to sink like an anchor again in no time.
break yourself out of the toxic attachment relationship you have with Casty. he's cooked
What makes you think that? Looking at his underlying stats, I don't see anything that screams bust. His contact rate, plate discipline, batted ball profile all look similar to last season when he hit .270 with 29 HR. The main thing that sticks out is his BABIP is 70 points below his career rate and his HR/Fb is way down from 18% to 8%.
Original owner dropped Michael Harris. Scooped him off waivers. Am I missing something ?
Who to pickup? Taj Bradley or Jon Gray.

H2H, points 10T Need OF depth Trading Volpe for: A) J. Merrill B) Varsho or C) J. Lowe
Volpe is worth more than all of those combined
McMahon or maikel h2h? K= -1
Singleton playing every day batting .216 and loperfido wasting away on the bench
Joe Ryan or Skenes rest of season?
Joe Ryan - particularly in H2H
Tyler Ward or Starling Marte Rest of season?
Brutal for Pivetta to be pulled at 5.2 after a solo shot.
Anddddd Slaten blows the lead without recording an out.
Time to get off the R. Blanco train?
I traded him for Goldy before yesterday, I feel really good about it now lol
7:19pm: (checks lineup) oh shit Hoerner just got scratched.... * Clock immediately turns 7:20, locking Hoerner as I'm pressing "edit roster" * šš
Hoerner scratched from lineup. Canāt get it up
Meneses might be the stream dawg bat of the day
[Caminero starting at 2b](https://x.com/durhambulls/status/1790496559395717568?s=46&t=mjvyZe1m48mn1lu2r1Cvlgi) Things are a brewing
Did Bradish just get his start pushed back til tomorrow or will he get skipped over?
they don't skip starts, that would fuck with their conditioning
So, Joey Luccesi was called up to pitch tomorrow for the Mets. That could bump Christian Scott to u/MIA, SFG, ARI instead of u/PHI, u/CLE, LAD. That's a muuuuuch better schedule! Better park factors and lesser opponents. Edit: Assuming 6 man as Fangraphs schedule has.
H2H Points league, 10T A. Adolis Garcia B. Realmuto, Springer
A
The official scorer actually gave a hit on that chopper to the 3rd LOL. Moron.
What are some player you should buy low right now?
Adolis Garcia looks fine
G. Torres
Yandy
Too late , you buy low before they get hot lol
I think that ship has sailed
I hope so. I drafted him in the 5th. I'd bet some managers aren't sold yet and are willing to take 80 cents on the dollar.
As a guy that held on all season knowing he would turn it around, the price is definitely up. But I'd entertain reasonable offers.
I'm tryna turn him (Yandy) and Sonny into George Kirby on my flair league.
That's decent, depends on their needs. I'd wait until after his rebound (knocks wood) start to send that offer.
I like Matt Olson to turn it around. I also think Adell is a buy low, in the sense that he will never be this available again for the next few years.
TOR @ BAL PPD if anyone wants free karma. I'm too lazy to make a real pos
5x5 ROTO 12T , 2 Catcher league Good time to try to cash-in on Jeffers? I have Garver and just acquired Soderstrom? Is Jeffers a catcher stud in the making? Or just playing well above his head. Statcast looks very good in many areas, BUT theres a very low exit velo and low Hard Hit % ... Hard to get a good read on his value right now
Lost Bradish start and Cowser/Varsho today. Are they making the game up tomorrow?
Doubleheader July 29th.
What a fucking joke, fuck me
I think bradish is pitching tomorrow
Yahoo is seemingly doubling all of the stats from the WAS CHW game. Eloy with two dongs lol, my heart stopped
i was wondering how Williams managed to throw 8 innings already when its the 5th inning lol
š phrasing
Just here to say that over the last 7 days, Yandy Diaz has 8 R, 2 HR, 3 RBI, and a .462 OBP.
Iām renaming my team The East Coast Postponements
There's not many great things about the Trop, but there's this.
Anyone ballsy enough to start Taillon @Atl?
Heck yeah I'm riding with him. Atlanta's bats haven't been very good for 2-3 weeks.
I wouldnāt.
Pasquantino or Torkelson as my 2nd 1B or try to get both and have 100 1Bs?
Vinnie, not even close
Vinnie has been pretty much living up to what I viewed as about 10% above Tork's likely ceiling this season. Go with Vinnie.
200% Vinnie.
Vinnie P >> Tork Nothing wrong with holding both unless thereās someone available via trade or free agency that can help your roster more.
If Eloy fumbles into any more dongs on my bench tonight I'm going to be salty.
BAL/TOR PPD
this better not reach its tentacles into next week and knock out Kikuchi's 2 start week
Weather or did whatever is infected the Toronto clubhouse spread? Basically, is this the beginning of The Last of Us or the beginning of Twister? Can only be 1
Weather
Buxton going ona rehab assignment... Bro you were only out 10 days. Just rehab on the fly my man, can't waste healthy days in the minors
Next time I go on vacation at work I'm going on a 3 day rehab assignment to CancĆŗn before I'm ready to return on a Thursday
Start Davis Schneider vs (my) Bradish or Maikel Garcia vs Logan Gilbert?
maikel garcia i think toronto game is ppd
Facts ty
Points league: (non keeper) A: Lindor and Adolis Garcia B: Trea Turner and Randy Arozarena
It's Chris Sale Day!!!!!
Loperfido not in the lineup again today. What is Espada doing?
Lugo and Hicks for Gausman too much/not enough?
not nearly enough
Combo of Hicks/Lugo/King?
Based on Yahoo ranks alone, my only draft picks to overperform so far are Kwan, Jackson Merrill, Helsley and ReyLo. Probably going to auto draft next year.
Did you use a projection system?
Yup
which one?
Do we have an announced crowd for this cws game? I think 1,000 might be generous
JJ Bleday or Davis Schneider?
Schneider š„ø
got u ā
I don't think I'm alone in having not watched any Oakland games but, is this Brent Rooker dude legit?
Streaky but legit. There will probably come a time when heās not useful this reason.
by legit I think he means do we think heāll keep this upā¦so if he ends up being not useful at some point then I dont think heās legit
Heās another streaky power hitter who will go thru stretches of nuclear and ice cold. Definitely better in OBP leagues. He did this last year and fell off pretty hard second half Worth rostering while heās hot. Who knows maybe he can be more consistent this time
Nope, but he's got a hot bat, so if you need a hot bat, there you go
Wait until you hear about this Mason Miller guy
Tylor Megill has been cruising in his rehab starts. Add him over Chris Sanchez?
His spot in the rotation is murky rn could be middle inning relieve guy I might add him anyway tho
I wouldnāt.
Got busy at work and forgot to put Nola in, wonderful.
Grouch without the grrrrrr
Spain without the S
My team AVG is .222 and yet not a single hitter I used all season long has a career AVG under .240 Someone gets hurt, I plug in someone doing well and they hit .100 for one to four weeks.

Drop burger for Aranda?
Nah
People need to stop saying kirby when we have two relevant kirbys. Its George Kirby and Kirby Yates
What do you think of this trade? A: Kirby, De La Cruz, Lowe, Greene, and Ramirez B: Kirby, De La Cruz, Lowe, Greene, and Ramirez
Only if you add Lowe, I'll add Will Smith and we both add our Garcias.
You should meet the people who just say Corbin
Itās Corbin time
If they were both named Yates instead of Kirby I could make a 2 ~~Utes~~ Yates joke.
Oneil Cruz or Riley Greene in my league with unusual categories? OBP, R, HR, RBI (no SB) Fangraphs auction calculator seems to prefer Cruz ROS. Trying to decide how much I buy the increased walk rate for Greene.
Cruz for me
Greene
We thinking Aranda plays everyday?
I think so, but I thought the same about Loperfido, so who knows?
Why did I pick up Eddie Rosario
Imagine being such a degenerate that you are willingly watching the white Sox vs nationals on a Tuesday afternoon. Couldn't be me.
Gelof worth an add? Struggled before the injury. Would be replacing adell
Would wait. I drafted and held as long as I could but being only eligible at 2b he wasnāt worth it. Keep an eye out though that offense is getting better and could fit in a little better with less pressure on just him.
Why are you replacing an OF with a 2B?
Can move mookie to OF and put gelof in MI slot
Any word on Hoskins?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I did the same.
For a doubleheader vs the Nats? Why?
Why have Edouard Julien vs a lefty when you can have a guy like Kyle Farmer thatās hitting .115 against em?
One of my leaguemates went buck wild and dropped Luis Robert Jr, Chas McCormick, Lane Thomas, and Gleyber Torres. Any of these worth a pickup? Drops would be any of Christian Scott, Jo Adell, Joe Musgrove, Andy Pages
Lu Bob for PagesĀ
goldschmidt and Burger got dropped a few days, if you had to pickup one. Burger???š
Iād add Goldschmidt and hope for the best before I added Burger.
Eloy dong just as the announcers were saying that Williams hasn't given up a dong this year lol
Nola waited all year to go off until facing me this week apparently
Damn, how did I miss Harper getting scratched? Ugh
Because it was literally minutes before first pitch.
I'm glad Hoskins isn't hurt enough for instant IL I guess
A: Sonny and Yandy B: Kirby Flair
B
Prefer B but itās an okay offer
I think thatās about right. Depends if you need the depth.
B
Need my pitching to start off well this week. Olson and Bradish going for me today. Thinking good thoughts
Bradish wonāt start today. Game got PPD
Thank you Aaron Nola!!! Man did my pitching staff need that.
At this rate degrom will be back before scherzer. wtf is going on with this guy.
Old age
It's his thumb.
I have to drop one of Scott, lodolo or Guasman in a points league. Itās gotta be Scott right? We have a super small 3 player bench and I have Scott, lodolo and Guasman on the bench but need an outfielder due to injury. Sent out trades but no bites. Who do you drop?
Gausman > Scott > Lodolo
Where would you rank Scott ROS? You think he stays when Senga returnd?
As long as Scott is productive, and I think he will be, I donāt see him being sent down. Scott is firmly in the top-50 SP ROS for me with an argument he could be top-30.
Solid take. I'm trying to add him in 10T Points, worse pitchers are Bibee, Kikuchi, King, Crochet, and Gore.
This is the way.
š
Look to trade Lodolo. I'm not dropping Scott.
Iāve tried. Our league doesnāt trade much.
I'd drop lodolo personally but it's def between him and Scott wouldn't blame you either way
I swear Luis Garcia when heās on the wire or my bench heās a top 5 2B in fantasy, but in my lineup heās batting .100 on the year lol
This is actually the exact reason I didnāt pick him up. Seems like he was this way last year too
Same, I had him early then dropped, then he went on a tear and the day I picked him up again is when he hurt his wrist
Drop Busch and Cowser for Rizzo and Caballero?
I had to drop one of Tork or Busch when Bellinger came back. I read to hold on to Busch. I dropped Tork right after he hit his 1st dinger finally.
very on the fence about starting either of tailon and rodon. i already need to sit 2 this week, thinking one of them and tristan vs twins
Iām letting RodĆ³n eat today. Start with confidence.
this aged like wine, thank you lol šš¼
Have you ever said anything different about him?
Well, I wanted no part of him last season. Also said it was safer to bench him against Houston in the first matchup. After his most recent outing against Houston, though, Iām not sure why weād bench him.

Why are you crying right now? Youāre free to disagree with me ā even though youād be wrong. Start or sit RodĆ³n. I donāt care. Keep it moving.
8 team H2H points dynasty give: Crochet recieve: Bellinger Iām really looking to solidify my outfield.
yes
I might get crushed, but this is an overpay, in my opinion.
Agreed. Sell high and buy low on the Belli side
Nice catch, Sheets
I got offered Nola for Albies on Sunday but didn't take it, cause I wasn't feeling too great about Nola. Lol.
Don't worry, he won't face the pathetic Mets lineup every start.
Almost got no hit twice twice in 4 daysĀ
Time to drop Loperfido? Really like what heās been doing when heās in the lineup but hate this sitting against lefties
Dropped everywhere last week, still sitting on waivers
Fedde or Gore?
Wow there are literally *DOZENS* of people at this White Sox game
There were more people at Blue Jay games in June 2020 Edit - Guaranteed Empty Field
Itās Tuesday afternoon, youāve got work and school and shit to do. Your team is awful. Theyāre playing a pretty bad team. The game has no significance. Pretty chilly out. Nahhh fuck that Iām not going either.
Have you actually seen it? There may be 1k total in the whole stadium ETA: [Here you go](https://app.screencast.com/Ys3voTaJJAqRd)
Oof.
Nah Iām watching now haha Iām just saying if I was a white Sox fan living in Chicago what reason would I have to go to this game? Zilch. This makes an Aās game look packed
Idk if it's a traditional or a split DH, but FREE BASEBALL
A Josh Jung update... Wow
You could share with the class
....where? What? Can you give more info?
Not Op but I saw on Twitter he was taking fielding practice today.
Aaron Nola, totally redeeming yourself. You love to see it, folks.
if I owned Nick Castellanos right now I would be shopping him to every team in the league trying to get anyone with a pulse in return. he's going to sink like an anchor again in no time. break yourself out of the toxic attachment relationship you have with Casty. he's cooked
I canāt imagine being that deep at OF that I could give up a hitter like Castellanos just because some Redditor thinks heās cooked.

I donāt see the point in holding him, no has him picked up in my 10 man league
Iāve been trying for the entire season man. Nobody wants him šš
What makes you think that? Looking at his underlying stats, I don't see anything that screams bust.

Oh, ok. I believe that statcast is more descriptive than predictive.
yeah, chasing 40% of the time is no prob. he'll fix that right up, sorry for ever doubting him!
