I throw 60 mph. I knew I could be an MLB player.
58 MPH.

Here is the transcript of my Tuesday chat!
| 9:00 |
: Hey everyone! Let’s have a fun chat. Be patient and I will try and answer every question I can. Do not repeat questions. If you wait, I will most likely get to it. |
| 9:00 |
: In a 7×7 10-team keeper league with Total Bases and OBP, would you roster any of Odubel, Dahl, Michael Taylor, or Franchy Cordero over Dexter Fowler? Thanks! |
| 9:01 |
: I would probably roster most of them, if not all over Fowler. |
| 9:01 |
: What are your thoughts on Gausman potentially sacrificing velocity early on in games for additional sink/run. Last night against the Indians, he was consistently working down in the zone with good movement and was able to reach back for 95-97 when he needed it. Seems as though he’s really working on actually “pitching” instead of being the thrower that he was when he first came up. If last night’s start wasn’t a sign of encouragement, then I don’t know what is. |
| 9:01 |
: Last night was very encouraging. Need to see him continue to do it on a regular basis, but I am a sucker for him. |
| 9:01 |
: Trade Porcello for Thames? |
I created a GIF reenacting my victory over Paul Sporer in H2H Tout Wars last week:
The Roto Riteup reminds you, when you first don’t succeed, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try again.

The Roto Riteup is in favor of protecting future generations, but not in favor of mascots:

So conflicted…
Never forget just how good Jackie Robinson was:
The league was statistically different back when Jackie Robinson played. If you translate his 1949 #s to today’s environment, he would’ve hit 29 HR & stolen 67 bases. Nobody’s ever done that. Like a Rickey Henderson at second base. While dealing w/ a pile of racist crap everyday.

In case you were wondering, Brett Gardner does not mess around when it comes to recycling.
