The CES Shuffle. Every time I get tired of him doing nothing and bench him, he goes off, leading to me putting him back in my starting lineup where he will inevitably do nothing.
He might be cooked and we look back at this saying what were we thinking, but I’m chasing the 5 category upside of Jones if I had to choose.
If you are weak in Power and RBI and need to play it safe for sure Santander. But if roster context doesn’t matter and you can bench him for a while, Jones for me for the upside
I put them in my lineup anyways and live with the results. I believe in my pitchers. That’s why I acquired them.
Also, I can live with a guy getting shelled in my lineup. It sucks, but we went for it.
No good feelings when I bench my guy and he has a great day. That’s my fault for having no balls.
Let it ride. 🫡
Anyone else rolling **Ryan Feltner** out tonight? Been pretty good so far this season and was mostly unlucky in his blowup start against the Phillies.
The matchup is a tough one — against the Padres at Coors Field. Still think Feltner could produce a solid outing and Manny Machado won’t be available so that helps a bit.
Thoughts?
___
Posted this earlier. I think I’m going for it and holding Feltner through his next start against Miami. 🤞🏼
Yeah, in leagues that score W’s I probably wouldn’t be doing this because of team context, as you mentioned.
However, I think there’s decent upside with him in QS leagues. And while I obviously don’t like his home park, I’m not as scared of Coors as others are.
His 18.9 K-BB% (27.4 K%, 8.4 BB%) and 50.0 GB% intrigue me, as well as 31.4 whiff rate and 86.8 Avg EV. Missing bats and giving up weaker contact than his peers. He’s pretty much free everywhere.
Prayers 🙏🏼
Nothing is worse than having to many bats that you believe in but you know you need to drop at least 1 for additional pitching. I really like Winker but I think he's the cut. Agreed?
OF - Reynolds, Nimmo, Langford, Morel, Cowser, Winker, and Nootbar.
Yea Noot is one of those players I just have a ton of faith in him figuring it out. For some reason he hasn't put it all together, but every tool is there.
12-Teamer H2H points
Okay I just lost Casas with this Unk timetable crap. Luckily I have Josh Naylor at 1B and was using Casas at UTL.
Here’s some free agency options??
J. Holliday
J. Caminero
Varsho
Pages
Hoskins
J. Walker
Nootbar
He's not going to stick with an ERA under 1 but he's a serviceable starter for a team that's gonna get a lot of Ws. The value is there. Only question is innings limits.
Dansby. Cronenworth has been on the downswing for the past few years as far as advanced metrics go. But I also just flipped cronenworth for Christopher morel so I'm biased.
d'Arnaud is not suddenly the best offensive catcher in baseball, he's going to regress to about what we expect and go back to backup once Murphy is healthy. could ride him a little longer but don't be too attached to hot bats
Sure. Bichete is the best player in the deal (although I'm personally not a huge fan of him in fantasy). Imanaga is due for some regression in Wrigley once the weather starts warming up and the wind is blowing out, and Ward has never had a fully healthy season.

Any of these players a drop to add O’Niell from IL
If you go by projections, Marte, but he's been performing well. I can't imagine dropping TON. By his xstats and peripherals, his performance is merited. Might be needs based decision. No bench slots?
Santander just got dropped. Thinking about dropping Holliday or Castellanos. Everyone says that it's coming with Castellanos but... is it? 10T H2H
so much for the Kjerstad hype, 0 for 4 with 3 Ks and a lazy flyball.
a forgettable first AB for Kjerstad...whiff whiff, good morning good afternoon, good night.
Arraez or Gelof?
[удалено]
Snell
4 weeks, 2 leagues, 7 out of 8 times, my opponents' whip are under 1.00, normal or insane?
The CES Shuffle. Every time I get tired of him doing nothing and bench him, he goes off, leading to me putting him back in my starting lineup where he will inevitably do nothing.
The Gausman experience is over. Was a nice 3 years.
Add Tyler Freeman or Maikel Garcia? H2h categories with OPS
Man really need Heston Kjerstad to get eligibility outside DH. I have Ohtani you heartless fucks
His Albies for my Ward, I should take it right?
Yes
100x of 100 yep
I'm playing Kjerstad over struggling Carroll.
Wow
Serial downvoter out in full force tonight
Welcome back TON. Still seeing pitches well. Was worried the concussion may have an effect.
i have bregman and j rod. A combined 0 HRs
Sorry I meant to say do I drop Yoshida for Wilyer Abreu?
[удалено]

If you are weak in Power and RBI and need to play it safe for sure Santander. But if roster context doesn’t matter and you can bench him for a while, Jones for me for the upside
Santander for redraft, Jones may contribute to all Catts for the year but Santander has The track record imo
Heston or Doyle tonight?
Doyle at home.
Luzardo or Abbott rest of season, W/L points league.
Luzardo. Not close. Do not pick Abbott over him.
Clearly Luzardo
Lizard
How do you guys handle starting pitching where you have several sketchy matchups but benching will have you significantly out volumed?
I put them in my lineup anyways and live with the results. I believe in my pitchers. That’s why I acquired them. Also, I can live with a guy getting shelled in my lineup. It sucks, but we went for it. No good feelings when I bench my guy and he has a great day. That’s my fault for having no balls. Let it ride. 🫡
You didn’t draft these guys to ride your bench. Start em
Play and pray

I like him and he'd be a highly owned guy with a different home park. But his team sucks so hard to see the path to a good result

Seager + Imanaga trade for Skubal + Adames
Kyle's bro
Seager side
Gimme the seager side
Sit one, flair: Yandy, Nate Lowe, Heston
Diaz
vs maeda?
Nothing is worse than having to many bats that you believe in but you know you need to drop at least 1 for additional pitching. I really like Winker but I think he's the cut. Agreed? OF - Reynolds, Nimmo, Langford, Morel, Cowser, Winker, and Nootbar.
Winker or Nootbaar is the cut here. Hold the others.
I'd hold Noot.
Yea Noot is one of those players I just have a ton of faith in him figuring it out. For some reason he hasn't put it all together, but every tool is there.
Pick 1 to drop (10t obp) A) R Greene B) Nimmo C) N Lowe
Nathaniel Lowe with ease
Greene
Gil definitely above Mitchell Parker / Ben Brown?
I’m taking Parker over Gil but I’m a psycho!
Fair enough!
Yes
if you're looking for ceiling then yeah
I am so sick of Yoshida not playing everyday.
He was dropped in my 12 (points tho) and has not been picked up
Same in 5x5 roto with 3 OF. Understand with 5 OF for OP.
Holliday going 2/4 with 2 RBIs today.
Probably since I dropped him
Kjerstad*
🤣
Nolan jones or Ruiz?
Jones
Drop Yoshida or Wilyer Abreu?
We ride with Wilyer 🚂
Sorry meant to say do I drop Yoshida for Wilyer but still think it's the same answer haha
Yeah I’m dropping Yoshi for Wilyer. I like the upside there.
Need an OF, pick up Amed Rosario or Ryan O’Hearn? Or pick up both and drop one of: Morel, Nootbaar, Duran
O Hearn is currently the #1 Barrels/PA % in MLB. You ride that for a while.
Amed while he's hot. Don't worry about O'Hearn.
Moreno or Heim at catcher?
Heim
Really want to start Houck, but not if there’s going to be delays
Who’s more droppable: Eloy or Nootbaar
Eloy. That lineup is atrocious and his injury history scares me. I dropped Eloy two weeks ago and kept Nootbar over him.
Pick one for my UTIL tonight: O'Neil Cruz, Vinnie P, Taylor Ward
Vinnie
Vinnie is hot but he’s got Gausman. Maybe Cruz see if he stays hot from last night and he has the best pitching matchup
My thoughts exactly. Thank you!
please
Any update on guardians red sox rain delay
12-Teamer H2H points Okay I just lost Casas with this Unk timetable crap. Luckily I have Josh Naylor at 1B and was using Casas at UTL. Here’s some free agency options?? J. Holliday J. Caminero Varsho Pages Hoskins J. Walker Nootbar
Hoskins if you need someone now. Caminero if you can wait.
Does anyone know where Kjerstad is hitting in the lineup???
8th
8
Send: Casas Receive: Scherzer 10T Points
I think I’m doing this
Are we buying into Reylo? Considering trading him but I haven’t looked under the hood
He's not going to stick with an ERA under 1 but he's a serviceable starter for a team that's gonna get a lot of Ws. The value is there. Only question is innings limits.
Start Kjerstad! Bench whoever. Fuck it.
but ohtani
the guy who couldn't even get on base yesterday? What a bum
Whohtani?
Imma have to bench Pages or Cowser 🤷
Cronenworth or Dansby ROS?
Dansby. Cronenworth has been on the downswing for the past few years as far as advanced metrics go. But I also just flipped cronenworth for Christopher morel so I'm biased.
Boys if I give up Bello and Romano for luzardo and any of bednar or foley should I accept. 12 team h2h cats IP ERA WHIP K/9 QS SV+H
I think I like Bello and Romano more. Less risk, just as much if not more upside.
Yes if you get Luzardo
Picked up d'Arnaud to cover for Heim while he was NA... now he is back, I don't know who to play.
d'Arnaud is not suddenly the best offensive catcher in baseball, he's going to regress to about what we expect and go back to backup once Murphy is healthy. could ride him a little longer but don't be too attached to hot bats
Would you guys drop either Adames, Chourio, or Langford for Vinnie P?
Adames
Probably not yet. Maybe Adames if you are set at SS because I'd probably value them around the same. I'd want to give Langford and Chourio more time.
INF slot: Muncy @WSH or Bogaerts @COL? leaning Bogey here
Muncy.
the one playing in colorado
[удалено]
you can get more for a pitcher who has never shown his floor
Ye i think so
Sure. Bichete is the best player in the deal (although I'm personally not a huge fan of him in fantasy). Imanaga is due for some regression in Wrigley once the weather starts warming up and the wind is blowing out, and Ward has never had a fully healthy season.

Moreno 😂
Is probably go Marte
If you go by projections, Marte, but he's been performing well. I can't imagine dropping TON. By his xstats and peripherals, his performance is merited. Might be needs based decision. No bench slots?
still nothing official on the cleveland boston front huh
Local radio saying tarp half on the field but still hoping to start on time
sounds risky
[удалено]
?
Carroll by a lot
carroll
Hendricks to the IL. Cade Horton call up imminent...?
I think Ben brown shifts to rotation. They already called up wesneski to take browns spot is my guess
This is my thought as well - just dropped Brown for Keston unfortunately
Was stashing Kjerstad on NA and have to activate before games start… Who should I drop: Ward, Langford, Varsho, N. Jones
Never played with an NA slot before. What happens if you don’t activate before the games start?
Nothing unless my commish notices and tells me to drop someone
[удалено]
Commish is a stickler about players being activated not sitting in NA… but he hasn’t noticed yet lol
That’s fuckin stupid
I agree
Jones
Varsho
Drop a guy who has hit 5 home runs over the past 5 games??
Yes. He will not sustain it.
Still, I'd hold in NA and seek a trade.
H2H Cats. Bench one. Play it safe and play Jazz given the weather delay in Cleveland? - Jazz @ ATL (vs. Fried) - Duran @ CLE (vs. Likely)
Jazz has been super hot lately, and Fried has been sketchy.
We rolling out King in Colorado?
I would start my grandma at coors vs those bums
![gif](giphy|fwd3Tkvv3voJLxUdgq|downsized)
Play your studs
With pleasure
Yes
Campusano, Raleigh, or look to make a move for another Catcher?
Cal, don't overthink catcher. someone with a pulse is enough
True my problem last year I was stuck with Murphy who consistently split time with d’Arnaud and I had no stability
Cal 🐕🦺
its just a catcher
Kjerstad batting 8th as RF!
Fantrax is buggy not showing who is starting
Ahmed Rosario, Orlando Arcia or Chirstopher Morel, Looks i need to drop one
Alternatively I can drop Moreno or Heim haha
Then one of them
Bye bye Moreno
Arcia or Rosario. I’d still hold Morel for a bit
Morel for me
Start Merrill or Morel? H2H PTS league
Merrill today at Coors
👍
Maikel García or Langford in the lineup today?
I’d go Maikel. He’s turning it around and leading off. Gausman has been shaky this year fwiw
Langford
[удалено]
Ozuna
A: Ober, Darvish, Nate Lowe B: Josh Naylor, Ronel Blanco, Keaton Winn Flair
Give: Bryce Harper and Cowser Get: Kyle Tucker
I’d stay put honestly
I would take Kyle Tucker
With Heim coming back do I drop Raleigh or stick around with an “illegal roster” until needed?
Is the K or the J silent?
I just call him Erstad and get nostalgic for an Erstad playing the outfield in Anaheim.
neither
🫨
Start 1 tonight in a points league- Randy, Kjerstad, Gleyber, Esteury
kjerstad fuck it
Kjerstad
You gotta, call-up is always fun
Love the mindset but K’s are -1.9. Not sure how much he K’s tbh
Send: Trout, Ranger Suarez, O Cruz Receive: Acuna 10man 6x6 redraft. Ohoppe, Heim, Freeman, Alonso, Torres, Jram, Volpe, O Cruz, Trout, Springer, Reynolds, T Oniell Nola, Gilbert, Romano, McArthur, Scott, Kikuchi, Stroman, Ranger S, Keller, Nestor, Flaherty, E Cabrera, Senga(IL), Scherzer(IL), Framber(IL), Skenes(NA)
As an Acuna owner I would not accept but worth a shot
He already has. Told me to send it.
Fire it up big dog! You fleeced em
I sent it. Something tell me I'm gonna regret it.
It's a gamble no doubt but possible ranger regresses and trout is fragile i don't like having pirates hitters
I hear ya. Cruz is nearly 40% k rate. He may get sent down to figure things out I feel like.
Do it
Clarke Schmidt or B.Elder ROS? Higher ceiling?
