Show notes

Segments 1 and 2 – Review of weekend games
Additional Questions
1.Futures Game – Any observations?
2.Eury Perez was demoted to Double-A because they want to limit his innings. What does this mean? Is he still going to pitch every fifth day? Just a couple of innings a week? Relief? Surely, the Marlins know that an inning thrown in Double-A is still an inning on his arm??? Your thoughts.
3.Bo Naylor had three hits yesterday. Still hitting .196 with a 32% K-Rate. Getting better or a bust?

Take 10 with Tim – July 7, 2023 @ 8am
1.For the second year in a row, Mike Trout misses a big chunk of the season. This year, it’s a Hamate fracture, which many times will zap power for a while. Lot’s to discuss here.
a.Mickey Moniak or Jo Adell? Who’s the pickup here?
b.Is this the death blow for Shohei Ohtani and the Angels? Shouldn’t they now seriously consider trading him now?
c.I know that the hamate problem is kind of one-off and last year’s back problem hasn’t resurfaced, but he turns 32 in a month. These kinds of problems start to find players of his age, no? He’s a ___________ round pick next season?
2.Tarik Skubal looked great in his return. Up to 96 and threw strikes. Are you starting him with confidence?
a.E-Rod did not look good. What are you doing here?
b.Akil Baddoo and Riley Greene will both be back. I think the Tigers are going to be tougher in the second half and not the walkover they’ve been to date. Remember, Colt Keith, will likely be up soon. Your thoughts?
3.Did you expect Seiya Suzuki would have a .400 SLG halfway through the season? What do you think is going on?
4.Colton Cowser finally got the call. For the rest of the season: HR, SB, and B.
5.Rich’s Top 100 is released on Saturday morning. You can find the Top 200 on the Patreon site. Can you prepare a segment of just a handful of questions for me? It can be anything. Strategy. When a player might be up. Highest upside, etc… Anything. We will do 15 minutes for the segment.
6.Which hitter are you targeting for this weekend’s FAAB?
7.Which pitcher are you targeting for this weekend’s FAAB?

Segments 1 and 2 - Review of the weekend games
Additional Questions
1.We have a trade. The Royals deal Aroldis Chapman to the Rangers for Cole Ragans, and Roni Cabrera. We discuss…some notes about the prospects below.
a.Ragans is a lefty with pretty good stuff. As a starter in 2022, he sat 92 to 93, but as a reliever, his fastball is averaging 96 with great spin. Good looking change-up, Cutter and CB. I wonder if the Royals turn him back into a starter.
b.Roni Cabrera is the definition of a thrown-in. He’s a 10K sign in 2022 and a DSL repeater. He’s playing well, hitting 315 with a home run and six stolen bases in 16 games.
2.Eury Perez – Madone!
3.Darick Hall finally get the return call. Does he stay up? Is he worth rostering?

2081 - First Half MVPs Jun 30, 2023

Show notes

Take 10 with Tim – June 30, 2023
1.Domingo German pitched the 24th perfect game in MLB History. It was impressive, but it’s hard to get too excited about it as it was against the A’s. Thoughts?
2.Dane Dunning has been so good this season with a 2.69 ERA and 7 wins. Baseballsavant doesn’t like it at all. He pitches to contact, stuff is very average, and his XERA is 4.58, almost two full runs higher than his ERA. Sell high? Just ride him out?
3.Speaking of BaseballSavant, I’ll go through my review of Cristian Javier and let you respond. It should be out on the Patreon site. If you could watch it, that would be great.
4.Bo Naylor went 3 for 4 on Wednesday with his first home run. Next season, he’s a Top ______________ catcher.
a.Let’s look at who will be next season’s Top 5 to 10 catchers.
5.Tarik Skubal is finishing his rehab assignment and looks very good. Grayson Rodriguez has also looked good as he tries to sort things out.
a.Who do you want to roster for the rest of the season?
b.Who do you want for their career?
6.As we are at the midway point, let’s look at our mid-year fantasy award. Mine are listed
a.Your best player drafted? Esteury Ruiz
b.The player you wish you never drafted? Alek Manoah
c.What is your best pickup of the year? Geraldo Perdomo or Corey Julks
d.Biggest fantasy value – hitter (whether on your team or not):
i.Corbin Carroll (ADP – 57, Current – 3)
ii.Lane Thomas (305, 15)
iii.Josh Lowe (558, 31)
e.Biggest fantasy value – pitcher:
i.Nate Eovaldi (Drafted pitcher - 88, Current – 4)
ii.Mitch Keller (134, Current – 10)
iii.Joe Ryan (51, 12)
7.How should I think about Spencer Torkelson? It’s been another meh season. 9 home runs, 35 RBI, .218 BA, .297 OBP. He’s still only 23 (he will be 24 in August).
a.Will he ever be a 25-home-run first baseman?
8.Extra question – if time permits
9.What hitter will you target for FAAB this weekend? Carlos Santana
10. What pitcher will you target for FAAB this weekend? Paul Blackburn

Fantasy Baseball Live – June 25, 2023
Segments 1 and 2 – Review of the weekend games
Additional Questions:
1.The Angels scored 25 runs last night.
a.David Flecther was 4 for 6 with 5 RBI, Mickey Moniak was 5 for 5 with 4 RBIs, Shohei Ontani was 1 for 7. Baseball’s a funny game!
2.Bobby Miller and Bryce Miller both got hit hard again this weekend. Bryce has a 7.40 ERA in June, and Bobby has given up 13 earned runs in his last two games.
a.How should fantasy managers handle both of these guys going forward? Bryce is home against Tampa, and Bobby is on the road at KC next week.
3.Bad news is out on Aaron Judge. He has a torn ligament in his toe with no timetable for a return.
a.Rich from NJ calls in…
4.The tale of two prospects. Many fantasy managers drafted Bo Naylor and waited patiently for him to get the call. He’s 1 for 16. Luis Matos got zero buzz and is hitting .257 with a home run and two stolen bases.
a.Should people just stop listening to fantasy baseball podcasts and reading fantasy analysis as clearly luck is such a huge part of the game – just go with your gut!
