2276 - Take 10 with Tim – August 9, 2024 Aug 10, 2024

Show notes

1.I released my Top 400 Prospects. Please have five questions prepared for me.
2.Jonathan Cannon has pitched ok for the White Sox. He has a 3.91 ERA but not many strikeouts. Any interest?
3.Joe Musgrove might be back this weekend against the Marlins. Would you start him? He was not very good prior to hitting the IL.
4.Joe Ryan left Wednesday’s game with tight triceps. If he misses some starts, who will get them?
a.One thought - Zebby Matthews is now in Triple-A. Good stuff and pounds the strike zone – just doesn’t walk anyone. One of this season’s big breakout pitchers.
5.I’m a big fan of Zach Dezenzo. He got the call for Houston and started Wednesday’s game. Many rookies have gotten the call for Houston, but few have actually played. Does Dezenzo play?
6.That Holliday kid’s pretty good, no?
a.Coby Mayo seems to be following in Holliday’s Part 1 debut. The Orioles just signed JD Davis. He better hit and hit soon. Thoughts?
7.Josh Bell has four home runs since becoming a Diamondback. He’s terribly streaky, but he’s on a roll now. I’m assuming you’re running him out there.
a.He has 18 home runs. Over-under 25?
b.Even if it’s under, he’s a 20/75 guy. Not bad for a cheap corner infielder.
8.What one hitter are you targeting for this weekend’s FAAB?
9.What one pitcher are you targeting for this weekend’s FAAB?

Show notes

Fantasy Baseball Live – August 4, 2024
Segments 1 and 2 – Review of weekend games
Additional Questions
1.Blake Snell with a complete game no-hitter on Friday night with 11 strikeouts. Still had three walks.
2.The Marlins lineup has yet to feature Connor Norby, Deyvison De Los Santos or Augstin Ramirez. But, Kyle Stowers is in there.
a.Why are the Marlins no fun?
3.Paul Sewald got removed from the closer gig. Who’s up next? Ginkel, Puk, someone else?
4.Eduardo Rodriguez will make his season debut on Tuesday against the Guardians. Are you starting him?
5.Jordan Westberg fracture his hand and will likely miss the rest of the season (maybe, he’s back in the last week). Totally bummer. But, Coby Mayo gets his shot. Mike Elias is smirking…you see why I didn’t trade these guys…
a.Are you recommending him?
6.Freddie Freeman missed the entire week without being put on the IL. Tough blow for fantasy managers.
7.Parker Meadows is back and had a strong night of the Tigers. Do you like the potential over the final two months?

5.Kodai Senga – Ugh!
6.Randy Arozarena watching the Rays game from the stands because he couldn’t get to the Mariners game in time was pretty cool.
7.Ranger Suarez hits the IL with a back issue. He hasn’t been very good of late; hopefully, with treatment and rest, he can get back to the player we saw in the first half.
8.Drew Thorpe – Yikes! Mauled by the Mariners of all teams. He didn’t get out of the first inning, giving up eight earned runs!
9.Tyler Fitzgerald has been crushing it. He’s hit eight home runs since July 9th with a .429 average. Overall, though, he has a .409 BABIP and a 29% K-Rate. Thoughts?
