Paul Sporer: Hey y’all, thanks for coming out!!

The Batman: I just want to say that my roster has fully entered the “everyone is getting injured” phase and I am not enjoying it!

Paul Sporer: The worst time of the year that comes for virtually EVERY team at some point. The years you avoid it or catch the very low end often wind up being the ones where you can make a run to the title

Paul Sporer: That said, injuries don’t preclude you from that run so don’t give up! In the grand scheme, it is still relatively early. All leagues are different, but there are PLENTYYYY of teams in the last 3 places of their league that can realistically still win. Won’t be easy but absolutely can be done.

Matt: 12 team dynasty roto (OBP, TB)…is it time to cut ties w/ Adames? You dropping him to call up Shaw?

Paul Sporer: Still feels too early to cut bait. Could see a benching, but I’m reluctant to quit him. Especially with a 90 pt split in AVG/OBP so while his OBP is still weak at .293, once his BABIP starts getting going, he’ll be a solid OBP asset.

Jeff Zimmerman: Welcome

Jeff Zimmerman: Here are the winning bids from the two 15-team Tout Wars leagues.

Jeff Zimmerman:

qane: Thanks for helping many of us get ahead of Meadows coming up. With him coming off the IL tomorrow, I need to deal with Adolis. Any reason to think he’ll come back to be a viable OF option? Where would you put him on your waiver list this morning? Thanks.

Jeff Zimmerman: I’m holding for a week to see what happens

Eye in the Sky: Hey, Jeff–how did your son run @ States?

Paul Sporer: Hey y’all, thanks for coming out!!

Hank Scorpio: Hey Paul, thanks for the chat as always. Hoping you could rank these SP ROS in 12tm mixed QS roto: Megill, Gonsolin, Cecconi, Darvish, Dobbins, Misiorowski

Paul Sporer: That’s close to my order, though sight unseen I think I gotta move Darvish to last right now despite being a huge fan of him overall. Just not sure he can be trusted right now and then even when he does come back, are we gonna get many 6 IP starts?

Guest: Santander admits he’s still trying to plow through 2 injuries, and I’m over here really losing patience with the lack of an IL stint, but is Grisham still the drop if I’m over-outfielded?

Paul Sporer: I’m trying to be better at not just holding through lost causes but I also know we have to be careful not to overreact. That said, it’s June later this wk and he’s well below .200 AVG with a sub-20 HR pace… I think at this juncture Santander is the cut. While Grisham likely won’t keep this pace, his surge isn’t completely outta nowhere so I like holding him instead of Santander right now

Jasper: Hi Paul

Paul Sporer: Hey y’all, thanks for coming out!!

Tim: Are we calling Miguel Vargas’ recent run run a hot streak or was there enough there to think he’s clicking in the majors?

Paul Sporer: I think he’s starting to put some things together. Full disclosure: I’ve been a long-time Vargas mega-fan but I don’t think I’m just being blinded by fandom here. Simple fact is he deserved better than his .204 BABIP over 591 PA coming into this year and then he was even worse thru 20 gms this yr at .196 BABIP!! Things are finally coming around lately and it’s not even an exorbitant BABIP (.304) as he’s hitting .316/.383/.568 w/6 HR in his last 107 PA. So all that to say, I buy this and think we can see some sustained success from Vargas

Adenolith: Looking for 1 more pitcher in my h2h league. Are you feeling Rasmussen, Warren, or L. Henderson the most?

Paul Sporer: Playing the matchups is likely the best move here, but on talent alone, I lean Rasmussen

Slay, Slade: Cecconi seems like an interesting arm but gets DET, LAD, @NYY next… Should I hold in a deep league? Start vs. DET?

Jeff Zimmerman: Welcome.

Jeff Zimmerman: Here are the winning bids in the two 15-team Tout Wars leagues.

Jeff Zimmerman:

Jeff Zimmerman: I’m enjoying caramel rum from a local distillery (Speedtrap). It’s by far their best offering right now.

Guest: Is luke Jackson still closing by end of season? Justin Martinez also or will it be a committee with Puk, ginkel and miller? Vest the man in Detroit ?

Jeff Zimmerman: No idea to any of them. If I knew, I’d win all my leagues.

Paul Sporer: Welcome to the chat, thanks for coming out. Running a little shorter today (40-45 mins)

CYgano: Any reason to expect positive regression from Altuve?

Paul Sporer: Ehh, I’m a bit bearish on that. We’re hitting a point where this might just be age-related regression that doesn’t rebound

Bubic, Get Out the Way: Sell high or hold on Kris Bubic? And if sell, what’s a fair category-agnostic return?

Paul Sporer: If you have really good pitching and can help the team, I don’t mind shopping him, but chances are he isn’t fetching a mint and I’m inclined to just ride out this goodness

INsert witty nickname here: No question, just a couple notes: Ben Rice has now caught the 9th inning in 3 blowouts over the last few weeks, including 2 of their last 5 games. Also, Matt Carpenter announced his retirement.

Justin Mason: I will begin at the top of hour. In the meantime, please follow me on all my social media’s (twitter, tiktok, facebook, youtube, bluesky, and instagram) at JustinMasonFWFB! I am doing regular podcasts on the FWFB podcast as well as three episodes a week for the Sleeper and the Bust so definitely make sure you are subscribed there as well!

M: Sell high on Mullins? Buy low on Alcantara?

Justin Mason: I would sell high on Mullins depending on what I got back. I would not buy low on Alcantara outside of a keeper/dynasty situation. I just don’t trust the command and control returning from Tommy John

Insert Witty Name Here: McLain, JP Crawford and Kristian Campbell, who rides the pine in an OBP league?

Justin Mason: Campbell

Insert Witty Name Here: Will Kershaw get many QS’s when he returns?

Jeff Zimmerman: Welcome. Tonight I’m enjoying a pour of Jack Daniels Single Barrel Rye.

Jeff Zimmerman: Here are the winning bids in the two 15-team Tout Wars leagues.

Jeff Zimmerman:

M: Colton Cowser worth stashing in 5OF roto? Starting to look at him on the wire but he feels a month from returning still

Jeff Zimmerman: One month is when people start adding. My team have so many injuries, I can afford to take more on.

Mr.Met: Will the Mets eventually go to a six man rotation which includes Sproat?

Paul Sporer: Thanks for coming out! Sorry for the delayed start, had to clean up a mess right before chat started as my humidifier spilled water allll over the place!

Aaron Chizmar: Would you trade Ronald Acuña Jr. for Teoscar Hernandez?

Paul Sporer: I might’ve before Teo hit the IL, but with that happening and Acuña nearing a rehab, I’d likely just hold

StroShow: Do you think it’s time to look into selling low on Bryce Miller in a 15-team mixed league? He looked so good against Cincy (@GABP no less!), but just dreadful aside from that…

Paul Sporer: It’s been rough, but I’m reluctant to sell low unless my pitching outside of him is just really good

Chadwick Van Cuylenberg III: Gonsolin … must pick-up in 12s?
