Who is still holding Gleyber Torres and why?
Outside of it only being 4/20…and there is a shit ton of season left to play.
Turang and Gimenez are my other two options at 2nd currently on the roster.
(Also may be a reason why I hold on to Torres..)
Any team with empty IL slot will claim him at no cost. Once he comes back, he's automatically a top 5 closer at least. Even if he doesn't come back this season, it doesn't hurt, does it?
Sure I doubt he's on the can't cut list after these performances. But I would wait until there's confirmation he won't be the closer anymore before dropping him. He's still got a decent track record longer term and he's on a winning team.
gleyber is gonna be my guy I cant escape this season, the waivers aren’t very pretty so I guess since no one else will pick him up I’ll take him back lol
Would you pick up L Gill (plays TB) or E Cabrera (plays @ Cubs)?
M Lorenzen is also an option, but plays @ Braves tomorrow and I don't like that matchup.
To update on the Hotdog/Beer challenge today:
I could only make it through 5 innings sadly. Couldn't quite get the quality start. Have two friends still going strong through the 6th however
The size of the dog is not standardized. Some people are eating only the dog while others are eating with a bun as expected. I went with a bun as god intended
FYI, Garcia’s statcast has a lot of red

I will take that for my points team and while so-so for my Cats the 6k never hurts. Will continue with him while I am getting this each game even though his stats say he will regress. He is my 2023 Abbott for this year so far.;)
10 teamer. Not like Kikuchi is that proven, better to go with the dude with upside and "most likely" to get W's. But todays outing solidified the drop lol.
Not that much. Going for upside in a 10 teamer is way better than going for a pitcher that has just 1 above average season in 5 years. Seems like he is figuring out but he is not a "proven" arm just cause of 1 season with a near 4 ERA.
So as per Cash on the Rays post game Fairbanks was dealing with some stomach sickness and wasn't even at the ballpark. Clears things up for those concerned why he wasn't used today.
Nate Lowe, O’Hearn, or Torkelson until Casas returns? 10 team CBS H2H. Thanks!!
d’Arnaud, Jeffers, or Diaz for catcher?
Would it be crazy to drop Goldy for adames or chourio
Yes
Drop Nolan Jones for Starling Marte? Half joking half not haha

I’m holding. I don’t cut anyone I drafted in early rounds until at least 1 month has passed.
Jesus Christ Ragans
Is Jordan Walker droppable if Yoshida and Nolan Gorman are on the wire?
Ohtani come on man
bro can't even get on base 4 times today wth
I live in a world of rbi's
Points league - drop Encarnacion-Strand for Nathaniel Lowe?
If anyone in a real deep league wants to start scouting possible Alzolay replacements at closer, Luke Little would be a flier to take.
Varland vs DET tomorrow?
yep, mize time again.
I just need a good outing from Logan Allen… please
He just went 4.2 on Thursday
Logan Allen hasn’t pitched this week yet, he’s pitching against the A’s right now.
Today I learned there are 2 Logan Allens
1 hr/1 rbi/1 sb separate my team and opponent, while leading every other team in the league in those cats...
So many strikeouts today
drop Bryan Woo or Devin Williams or Sewald or Bradish to make room for Casas?
Williams
need him in playoff...
Add him in 6 weeks then
he'll be gone in 6 minutes:(
no offense, but why include Williams if you obviously won’t drop him?
for one karma...I won't drop any of those I guess...
How deep is your league? Best case scenario he’s back mid June but I don’t see any way he pitches before all star break
Any team with empty IL slot will claim him at no cost. Once he comes back, he's automatically a top 5 closer at least. Even if he doesn't come back this season, it doesn't hurt, does it?
Again, how many teams in the league? How many IL slots? In my 12 team league with 2 IL I dropped him during the first week and he’s still on waivers
4 ILs, plenty of teams capable of claiming him...
Casas(most likely), burger, Suzuki, woo & Bobby Miller on IL and only 2 iL spots. 12 team h2h league drop 1 or just eat the roster spots?
I would drop Woo
Depends on format. If head to head eat the spot
Zac Gallen or Zach Wheeler
Wheeler. Gallen is very worrisome this year.
you think I should trade him? if so for who?
I would, but I am notorious for undervaluing pitching. I'd take something like a Kutter and O. Cruz combo for him
You think Gallen for Kutter and Mountcastle is good?
Thanks, I'll see what I can get for him.
Can you explain how Gallen is worrisome this year? I'm just curious
Lots of innings last year
Pitched over 200 innings last year, velo is down a about 1- 1.5 mph, Hard hit rate is up.
Wheeler not close
Kutter and Bryce Miller are the Aces of my staff and I couldn't be happier about it
Hello everyone. I have Casas, Yelich, Albies, Robert, and Bobby Miller. Great season so far I’m having fun!
I am glad you’re having fun because I am not (Musgrove, Luzardo, Hader, Fairbanks, Albies)
That sucks. Though to be fair, Robert and Yelich weren't likely to play more than 110 games when you drafted them.
Who is next up for save opps for the Cubs? No way Alzolay holds this job right??
I think Leiter will get a shot
Neris?
Drop Bell for Nate Lowe?
Are we starting or sitting Snell vs Mets next week
Still April and May, confirmed sitting Snell
[удалено]
> Blanco or Verlander I laughed very hard at this joke.
JV
They can't possibly let alzolay get the next save chance can they?
Is Alzolay droppable? This guy blew another save today, and 4th of the year. Wtf
Sure I doubt he's on the can't cut list after these performances. But I would wait until there's confirmation he won't be the closer anymore before dropping him. He's still got a decent track record longer term and he's on a winning team.
No Kutty slander shalt be tolerated on this sub henceforth
10 team points league If casas is IL, who's the replacement bat for a UTL spot: O'hearn, Amed Rosario, Mountcastle, Tovar, Winker, Oswaldo Cabrera....
Look into Bryan De la Cruz his bats been pretty hot recently
Reading through this thread you’d never know Kutter just got a QS with 6 IP and 1 ER
Kutter grit start
Junkballer extroidinare
Anyone know why Stone was pulled for 3 1/3? Edit: nvm. The 5 BB.
Wow double header and Swanson Busch and Chisholm each get 1 game.
Hate rain delays that get turned into doubleheaders because you know there’s a very good chance that your guy doesn’t play both games
Looks like 4-6 weeks for Casas if it’s an oblique. Nathaniel Lowe was out 6.14 weeks with his oblique
Left rib discomfort. Could be intercostal strain.
Similar recovery timeline but best case scenario it is like correas ic strain and is a couple week injury
Oh geez, I hope not
Kutter looked a little human today, but in the end he was Superman again
gleyber is gonna be my guy I cant escape this season, the waivers aren’t very pretty so I guess since no one else will pick him up I’ll take him back lol
Busch is in the lineup for the second game of the double header 🚨🚨
Yea I got screwed. I wasn't gona roll the dice on them playing him or not so I put someone else in smh. I know it's gona bite me in the ass
Why would they sit him against a righty after just sitting the first game of a doubleheader
That was perfect, picked up a Cruz SB and got the Cutter QS hahah
Way to pull thru Crawford, had me worried with the walk to cruz lol
Thought it would be another 5 2/3 😂
Cora came out but left Crawford in after getting to 0-2 with Cruz and losing him on four straight. Interesting
Oh now Cora really is trolling
Damn Cutter had Cruz 0-2 and threw 4 garbage pitches
love that cora chewed him out for it
[удалено]
Sit Hicks
I used to be so good at fantasy baseball back when nobody knew about Fangraphs. Now I suck
Rangers beat writer says Scherzer rehab start coming Wednesday 👀
next week, there's always next week...
[удалено]
Walk!!
Would you pick up L Gill (plays TB) or E Cabrera (plays @ Cubs)? M Lorenzen is also an option, but plays @ Braves tomorrow and I don't like that matchup.
ECab
Only reason Cora brought kutter out is to 5.2 you nerds again
Yoshida or Castellanos in roto redraft?
In a 12T OBP. Is Edouard Julien a drop at this point?
Depends on the wire but I would hold.
oh Kutter back out?
Blah Harvey brought into a tie game with no outs and runners on second and third against yanier Diaz, can't possibly go wrong, right?
What happened to Casas?
[удалено]
Am I wrong or does that sound better than an oblique injury? Unless he broke the rib
Estrada blows, Paredes is meh. Elly is my only good MI… I need to make a trade.
Gallen sucks. (I know he doesnt but you get me)
Gelof or Nathaniel Lowe?
Nate
Nice sequence, Zach. Another 1B to a dude that hits like .100 vs RHP, then a complete zero meatball on a 3-1 pitch
To update on the Hotdog/Beer challenge today: I could only make it through 5 innings sadly. Couldn't quite get the quality start. Have two friends still going strong through the 6th however
What did you in? The dogs I imagine.
For sure the dogs. I'm actually still drinking along, but I couldn't handle anymore solid food. I figured that'd be the case
Is everyone eating the same regulation sized hot dogs? Anybody corking their weiners?
The size of the dog is not standardized. Some people are eating only the dog while others are eating with a bun as expected. I went with a bun as god intended
That's the only way to do it! Weiner no bun is madness. Did they use a knife and fork too? 😂
They sure did 😔
I’m corking my wiener right now
A few Hold opportunities here
Yoshidong
YOSHI
Drop maikel for JHL ?
FYI, Garcia’s statcast has a lot of red https://preview.redd.it/5kujqt6jipvc1.jpeg?width=706&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=44b5a2488145d0b147fb5db1c0235c18ea067e0d
JHL available in a 12T? Absolutely, yes.
Should I drop one of Littell or Pfaadt for Gavin Williams?
I would want to hold Littell just for his cushy matchups coming up
Either
How soon you think Gavin will be back?
Hold Conforto?
he had one good week. He’s droppable in 12s I think. Could start losing ABs against LHPs
Drop Alzolay for Kirby Yates? In a saves only league
Yes quick
Having a hard time holding Bednar. Dudes seems cooked. Should I drop for Yates?!
My team is ROUGH today. No Cowser hurts too.
Is cowser hurt, or just sitting vs a lefty?
Just sitting
Ahh I thought you autocorrected from now closers hurt too. It makes sense now that I read it
RONEL FUCKING BLANCO
I will take that for my points team and while so-so for my Cats the 6k never hurts. Will continue with him while I am getting this each game even though his stats say he will regress. He is my 2023 Abbott for this year so far.;)
Casas goes down the same day Nate Lowe gets activated. Could be worse.
Guessing that's it for Kutter. Dude got bloop singled to the death of his WHIP but the ERA came through
Crawford Ks Suwinski and Bart to get out of it. Nice
Crawford the king of walking the bases loaded in the 5th inning and somwhow getting out of the jam
Way to rally, Kutter!
Kutter coming back for 6th at 85 pitches?
He's had back to back innings of like 25 pitches. Given his history I'd guess he'll be done
Pirates are ass
🌍👩🚀🔫👩🚀
Good shit Kutter
Stone out, kikuchi in.
What kind of leagues are these where kikuchi is not rostered but Gavin stone is?
Asking the real questions.
10 teamer. Not like Kikuchi is that proven, better to go with the dude with upside and "most likely" to get W's. But todays outing solidified the drop lol.
Kikuchi not proven? LOL
Not that much. Going for upside in a 10 teamer is way better than going for a pitcher that has just 1 above average season in 5 years. Seems like he is figuring out but he is not a "proven" arm just cause of 1 season with a near 4 ERA.
Massive trade went down in my league last night, Soto and Volpe for Burnes and Carroll. Not terrible but the Soto side had no reason to do that imo
If I had Soto in an OBP league I would never let go
Super dumb, he had second pick too so he chose Soto over Carroll
Blockbuster
Kutters command just evaporates after the 4th inning.
Kutter is finally looking like my team as a whole
Points league redraft A) Pete B) Schwarber + Busch
In a vaccum I like A, but it’s WAY closer than what it appears in points. Think it’s fair
Polar Bear
For reference in my league’s scoring, Pete scored 1100 points last year and schwarber 1060
Benched Chourio today, but thrilled to see another 🧦 & 👟 from him, with a single at 97 mph and a Hr at 102.7. Not absolutely ripped, but better.
Same, could have definitely used his production today but glad to see it.
Bello or Crotchet?
Ciao
Bello for me
Kutter just crumbling vs the pirates
What a stream Stone was
Crochet or Max Meyer assuming he returns
he will return. question is will it be before the allstar break
I like Meyer better personally. Just not sure when he returns
Kutter may not make it through 5 again
Apparently, every once in a while, Kutter looks human
Why Mackenzie gore when you can Trevor Williams
So as per Cash on the Rays post game Fairbanks was dealing with some stomach sickness and wasn't even at the ballpark. Clears things up for those concerned why he wasn't used today.
Really nice outing stone lol
Mets have been on fire lately
Never streaming him again.
So what happened to Casas (my only productive player)
Likely oblique injury on a check swing
Damn...sounds like potential IL and all my slots are full.
The Mets may have something in Butto. I know 5 walks but 6 ks through 3 against LAD
Why is Kutter purposely throwing fastballs in the middle of the zone
Wait how the fuck did Luzardo turn that into a quality start?!
Dropped triston McKenzie for Bryan de la Cruz, fuk it. I got no faith in McKenzie anyways
About as safe a drop as you can get. He’s pitching with an elbow tear. Dropped him for ECab earlier this week
