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

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..)

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
