The Twins and White Sox have a doubleheader today. The Marlins and Phillies are playing two tomorrow. Doubleheaders are risky sources of uncommonly used players – especially since lineups aren’t usually posted for the start of contests.

Invitationalists should note the words of section five.

Let me tell you a story…

Just in case you were going to use him, DraftKings has kindly informed me that Chris Hatcher has been traded to the Athletics. Thus, he will not receive fantasy points. You’re welcome.

Here’s the transcript from today’s chat which included a surprising amount of Bogaerts panic.

: Welcome to rad Johnson baseball chat. I noticed the typo too late, please excuse
|
| 3:59 |
: I hate to waste your time asking this question but I’m desperate, so I hope you’ll be kind enough to provide your feedback. Need to fill the C spot in my AL-only league and the “best” options are Castro, Gomes, Vasquez and Chirinos. Any one of them stand out above the rest? Thanks!
|
| 3:59 |
: I think Chirinos’ steady HR production is useful in that format. He’s probably top 10.
|
| 4:00 |
: Totally thought the “typo” was intentional…
|
| 4:00 |
: Alex Bregman has been very hot in the second half. As a whole, how has he compared to your expectations going into the season? Would you consider him a potential keeper at pre-season hype prices?
|
| 4:00 |
: To answer the second part of your question first, that depends on just how hyped he was in your league

On the internet, the term “hax” is most frequently used in video games to dismiss an especially good or lucky play. In the real world, it’s one of the few words cats say.

This is your chance to defend the status quo. Do you accept the challenge?

I wanted to go with “No Column for Old Enns,” but I decided the pun was too tortured for the headline. However, it’s just tortured enough for the first sentence.

They say that no one remembers your name when you’re strange, but I’m pretty sure that’s bass ackwards. Yep, strange of me to resurrect that ’90s phrase.

Here’s today’s chat transcript covering a wide range of fantasy topics.
| 4:00 |
: Can Godley stop the Dodgers epic run or would you bench him? |
| 4:01 |
: I’m using him in DFS tonight, but that’s mostly a function of his low price tag on DraftKings. Godley handled the Dodgers not too long ago. You can start him against any team |
| 4:01 |
: That’s not to say there isn’t any downside or risk |
| 4:01 |
: but with the way this season’s gone, Godley vs. LAD is a better than average play |
| 4:01 |
: What happened to Kintzler being the closer in Washington? |
| 4:02 |
: I don’t know. It’s certainly a surprising development to see Doolittle still closing. A welcome development at that – I grew up playing against Doolittle so I always find myself rooting for him |
