Fantasy Baseball Live – June 15, 2025 @ 3 pm Microsoft Teams: Segments 1 and 2 – Review of this weekend's games Additional Topics: 1.Royce Lewis on the IL, again. This time with a hamstring pull. 2.Clayton Kershaw with seven scoreless innings. That’s back-to-back solid games and he’s now posting a 3.25 ERA but the strikeouts are not there. Thoughts? 3.Zac Gallen with another Ehh start last night. His 5.19 ERA is well earned. 4.Hunter Dobbins with another win last night. I’m assuming you are recommending picking him up. We will look to see how he’s doing it. 5.Tyler Mahle hits the IL and gulp, Kumar Rocker is back. Any interest in Rocker? 6.Hey, didn’t you recommend Zach Agnos as the closer for the Rockies? Well, he got demoted. That’s an impossible team to handicap, no? 7.Emmet Sheehan will make a start with the Dodgers next week. I’m not sure he’s totally stretched out, but what’s your take on starting him? 8.You laughed at my Charlie Morton suggestion. Another solid outing on Saturday.

Take 10 with Tim – June 13, 2025 Microsoft Teams: 1.Let’s take a look at the standings a.American League b.National League 2.Marcelo Mayer had two home runs on Wednesday.

The White Sox are going to use him in the bullpen. He’s got a great arm (fastball averaged 100.5 in his first outing and hopefully will be a starter at some point (ala Chris Sale and Garrett Crochet). Do you think he can sneak into some saves in Chicago? 4.Jackson Jobe needs TJS. It’s just a shame, but it happens so often that we kind of shrug it off. TJS is down a bit this season. There were 92 last year across the minors and majors. This year, there are about 35 to 50 either done or in the hopper. a.We will discuss 5.Speaking of Tommy John Surgeries, things are not looking good for Justin Martinez. Does Shelby Miller get the opportunities in Arizona? 6.After two brutal starts, Jesus Luzardo pitched well on Wednesday. 6 IP, 1 ER, 10Ks. Are you ready to put him back in your lineup, or did you not take him out. He goes up against the Marlins a.Speaking of the Marlins, Sandy Alcantara finally pitched well on Wednesday. Do you think he improves in the second half, worse or about the same? 7.Surprising pitchers this season.

Fantasy Baseball Live – June 8, 2025 @ 3:00 pm Microsoft Teams: Segments 1 and 2 – Review the weekend games Additional topics 1.Corbin Burnes announced on Saturday that he is having TJS. 2.Zebby Matthews to the IL with a shoulder strain. It’s unfortunate as he pitched his best game of the season on Wednesday with his first win. 3.Jacob deGrom continues to shove with another great outing on Saturday. The AL is stacked with pitchers have great seasons, so it might be a stretch for him to win. But, maybe not. Can he catch the runaway winner – Kris Bubic – 5 wins, 1.43 ERA, a strikeout an inning. 4.Henry Davis hit a home run last. Clearly, his MLB career has been disappointing to-date. Do you think there is more in the tank? 5.WOW, Tony Gonsolin hits the IL with a sore elbow. Didn’t he just have TJS. Who are your starters in Los Angeles? 6.Bryce Harper hits the IL. Who gets his at-bats? 7.Maikel Garcia has hit his seventh home run, along with 13 stolen bases, a .310 batting average, and a .375 on-base percentage. When can I do my victory lap?

Take 10 with Tim – June 6, 2025 1.I released my Top 500 prospects in the game today for our Patreon members and will release the Top 100 to the general public over the weekend. Please provide me with five numbers, and we will discuss those five prospects. a.2 numbers in the Top 100 b.2 numbers in the Top 200 c.1 number after that. Make it in the 300s as after that, the fidelity of the work lessons. 2.Let’s take a look at the standings. 3.Pablo Lopez is out with a shoulder strain and will miss 8 to 12 weeks. He might be out for the season. Yikes. Tough blow to fantasy managers. Who do you think gets the starts? a.Hunter Greene is also on the IL again. Any thoughts on who will take his starts over the next month? b.Corbin Burnes. Uh oh. Going for a second opinion on his elbow. 4.Rob Manfred is proposing using an automated ball-strike challenge for the 2026 season. Since the league controls the rules committee, I’m assuming it will happen. What do you think? 5.Sawyer Gibson-Long is finally back and had a great matchup against the White Sox to ease back into things, but he did not pitch very well. He doesn’t throw hard but has a 70-grade slider and was pretty good in his four starts in 2023 before blowing out his elbow. I don’t recall him making a waiver wire of yours. Any interest? 6.I gave up on Lance McCullers and right on cue, he’s pitching great. Over his last four starts, he’s pitching to a 2.21 ERA with 29 strikeouts and six walks. WOW. Are you starting him with confidence? 7.What hitter are you targeting for this weekend’s FAAB? 8.What pitcher are you targeting for this weekend’s FAAB?…

Fantasy Baseball Live – June 1, 2025 Microsoft Teams: Segments 1 and 2 – Review the weekend games Additional Discussion Points 1.Jesus Luzardo – That’ll leave a mark. 3.1 IP and 12 ER (4Ks though) as the Brewers annihilate him. a.Chourio went 4 for 5 with five RBIs, but no home run b.Rhys Hoskins with two home runs 2.Brandon Pfaadt – 0.0 IP 6 ER. Another yikes 3.Junior Caminero had two more home runs on Saturday. He’s up to 13, four in the last week. 4.Eddie Cabrera has delivered back-to-back impressive starts. I recently performed a breakdown on baseballsavant, suggesting that while he has made some adjustments to his pitch mix, I still see him as a 4.50 to 5.00 ERA pitcher. Should I re-evaluate? 5.Skubal with another great outing: 7 IP, 0 ER, 7K/0BB, but he was met pitch by pitch with Michael Wacha. He has a 2.88 ERA. Thoughts on Wacha? 6.Acuna with his third home run in a week. Yelp…a lot of rust there. He’s hitting .367 7.Cole Young gets the call for the Mariners. Will he play enough to make your waiver wire? 8.The Orioles need more games against the White Sox. a.Rockies are still at nine wins 9.Ohtani is up to 22 home runs after he hit two off of Max Fried. a.Vesia got the save. 10.Carlos Correa has been playing better. He’s gotten his average up to .250 and hit his five home run on Friday night. 11.Tyler Soderstrom had cooled off, but he’s hit home runs in back-to-back games Segment 3 – Waiver Wire Segment 4 – Closer Report Close…

Take 10 with Tim – May 30, 2025 – 9:30/8:30 am - 45 minutes to an hour 1.We briefly discussed Gavin Sheets on Sunday and I got a note from one of our Patreon members that said he changed his swing and this was real. Let’s explore and see if he’s right. 2.Hunter Renfroe was DFA’d. Does this mean that we are closer to Jac Caglianone time? 3.Veteran pitchers not living up to expectations. What do we do? Sit, start or trade at any cost. 1)Dylan Cease (SD, ADP=11, Rank=107) – 59 IP, 1 win, 72Ks, 4.58 ERA, 1.254 WHIP 2)Zac Gallen (AZ, ADP=47, Rank=126) – 66.2 IP, 3 wins, 66Ks, 5.54 ERA, 1.395 WHIP 3)Shane Baz (TB, ADP=72, Rank=116) – 54.2 IP, 4 wins, 52Ks, 4.94 ERA, 1.390 WHIP 4)Lucas Giolito (Bos, ADP=158, Rank=205) – 27.1, IP, 1 win, 23K,s 5.27 ERA, 1.427 WHIP 5)Sandy Alcantara (Mia, ADP=55, Rank=206) – 51 IP, 2 wins, 40Ks, 8.47 ERA, 8.47 ERA, 1.667 WHIP 4.Tanner Scott. What the heck? He’s blown three of his last five chances, giving up 9 runs in 4.2 IP. Is this a bad streak or time for a closer change in Los Angeles? If a change, who would you speculate on? 5.Lane Thomas is suffering from plantar fasciitis, which can be very painful and may involve a lengthy recovery time to relieve the pain. They can’t go back to Jhonkensky Noel. Chase DeLauter is back and playing after yet another stint on the IL. What about Mr. DeLauter as a replacement if Thomas ends up on the IL? 6.Over/Under game 1)Bobby Witt Jr. – 20 HRs – He has five. 2)Byron Buxton – 500 PAs – He has 173 3)Andy Pages – 25 HRs – He has nine 4)PCA – 30/30 – He has 14 HR and 16 SB 5)Ryan O’Hearn – 25 home runs and a .300 BA – He has 9 HR and is hitting .340 6)Jackson Chourio – 26 walks (one a week). He has nine 7)Any pitcher – 20 wins – Who gets the closest? 8)Tarik Skubal – 250 strikeouts – He has 92 9)Robert Suarez – 40 saves 10)Rockies Wins – 41 (number the White Sox won last season) – They have nine 7.Let’s take a look at the standing. 8.One more after Thursday’s games 9.What one hitter are you targeting in FAAB this weekend? 10.What one pitcher are you targeting in FAAB this weekend?…

2294 - Top 10 pitchers for the rest of the season 55:03

24 days ago55:03

55:03

Take 10 with Tim – May 23, 2025 @ 9:30 am 1.I know everyone loves Juan Soto, but with eight home runs and a .247 batting average after 30% of the games played this season, it looks a lot like 2022 when he hit 27 home runs and had a .242 average. He is stealing bases, which helps, but should owners be worried? Is this the player they drafted? a.He’s also been criticized for his lack of hustle. Do you think that now that he’s being paid, he’s lost something? 2.Sal Perez and Adley Rutschman hit home runs on Wednesday. It was Adley’s first home run since April 20, and he’s barely hitting above the Mendoza line. Perez last hit a home run on April 13 and is also just above the Mendoza line. Who are you more concerned about for the rest of the season? 3.Dylan Crews will be out for a while after suffering an oblique strain on Tuesday. Robert Hassell III gets the call. He’s far from the player everyone expected when he was drafted by the Padres in the first round in 2020, but he’s played alright this season, with a .288 batting average, four home runs, and nine stolen bases. What do you expect, and how long do you think he’ll be out? 4.Patrick Corbin looked like he was playing out the string after signing that great contract with Washington. He went unowned in most leagues. This year, he’s been a different guy. Pitching for Texas, he’s won three games and posting a 3.59 ERA. However, he’s not striking out many (6.75 K/9) and his xERA is 4.56. a.You can’t sell high (maybe you can), but what do you do here? Keep starting him every week? Pick and choose based on matchups? Something else? 5.In the past three games, Will Warren has a record of 2-0, with a 1.50 ERA and a 13:1 strikeout-to-walk ratio. He has lowered his ERA to 4.05. Is this merely a hot streak, or are we witnessing a breakout? 6.Matt Shaw returns to the Cubs, and Moises Ballesteros is sent down. This is Shaw’s second chance. Will this time be better? 7.Rank the Top 10 pitchers you would like to own over the rest of the season. 1)Skubal 2)Skenes 3)Yamamoto 4)Wheeler 5)Fried 6)Brown 7)deGrom 8)Senga 9)Bibee 10)Warren 8.If something pops up today, we will include 9.What one hitter are you targeting in this weekend’s FAAB? Robert Hassell III (OF, Was) 10.What one pitcher are you targeting in this weekend’s FAAB? Daniel Palenecia (RHP, CHC)…
