Last night, I had a lineup score 47.3 points on DraftKings. Said lineup included a 36 point performance from Mike Trout. It’s difficult to intentionally select two pitchers and seven position players who score only 17.3 points.

Wednesday is called hump day by some and camel day (because of the humps) by fewer. To me, it’s known as the day I agreed to write way too many articles. On that note, TDG is always first!

Here is today’s transcript in which the chatters discovered my non-baseball interests.
| 4:00 |
: Ahoy there! |
| 4:00 |
: Hi Brad! |
| 4:01 |
: With most fantasy trade deadlines slipping past last week, we’re getting down the the stretch run |
| 4:01 |
: I’d like to avoid questions about keepers today. Please solve those at a more appropriate time. Dynasty topics are fair game though, like… |
| 4:01 |
: How does your valuation of Conforto change after last week’s injury in a dynasty league? |
| 4:02 |
: The nice thing about dynasty is that a player’s value isn’t greatly affected by an injury unless it changes his skill level |
Here’s a helpful reminder – not only are we Grinding today, it’s also chat day. I’ll see you again at 4:00pm ET.
AGENDA
Today I’m going to ask myself a very personal question. Just kidding. I’m not really going to ask myself a personal question. Rather, I’m going to gloat about how having adopted the latest fashionable trends among MLB hitters has improved my own hitting.

Players’ Weekend Cometh? The only thing that cometh is the nightman.
AGENDA
Well, I didn’t win the Powerball. Again. My plans to buy a major league team will have to wait. Meanwhile, the $250 million jackpot (after lump sum penalty and taxes) buys less and less of a team. Even the financially insolvent Marlins cost over a billion dollars. Oh, I have an idea.

Rhys Hoskins appeared on the main blog and in my chat yesterday. Now he’s visiting the Daily Grind.
AGENDA
Today’s chat was very heavy on the Rhys Hoskins. Here’s the transcript.
| 4:01 |
: Howdy folks. Let’s get started, shall we?
|
| 4:01 |
: With Darvish and Salazar (didn’t see that until 10 mins ago) on my DL along with RPs A. Miller and Rosenthal, how do I hit my innings limit without overpaying in a trade? (currently on the wire: Trevor Williams, Urena, Vargas, Bridwell, Richard)
|
| 4:01 |
: Well, yea, you’ll have to stream. You’ll probably be moving on from Miller and Rosenthal, but try to wait for a little clarity on their issues
|
| 4:02 |
: What tier of OF do you see Nomar Mazara settling into for 2018 and 2019? Trying to decide whether to keep him
|
| 4:02 |
: It’s not really a matter of tier, it’s a decision on whether or not to roll the dice
|
| 4:02 |
: He’s a candidate to break out in a massive way
|
Good news, I still have my sight after viewing yesterday’s eclipse. Hopefully you can still see too.
