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

Dave: So… uhhhh… the Tigers are going to hang on, right?  Right….?  I was all the way back in for another Gritty Tigs run after the Carp homer last night and then, well… the top of the 10th happened.  And now I am anxious again.

Paul Sporer: I’m also anxious, but yes I think they hold on. The pitching is rickety outside of Skubal, though, just not enough bat-missing. I’m worried the playoffs could be a breezy 1-and-done

Sam: Hey Paul, appreciate all that you do!  Looking at a SS for the last week in a points league. Caballero, Meidroth or Colson Montgomery (been ice cold) or Ha-Seong Kim 김하성?

Paul Sporer: Matchups would play a role and I don’t have them off-hand, but absent a major edge one way or the other, Caballero & Meidroth are my faves there

lwomack58: Does Severino look like a good stream in h2h cat. league. Need QS and ratios protection.

Jeff Zimmerman: Welcome

Jeff Zimmerman: Here are this week’s Tout Wars 15-team FAAB bids.

Jeff Zimmerman:

Mike: Any interest in Beeter?  Closing share and high Ks, but bad team and possibly just a hot streak for a volatile pitcher?

Jeff Zimmerman: I’d hold off adding him

Jeff Zimmerman: Just too few chances for Holds

Jeff Zimmerman: Welcome

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

Jeff Zimmerman:

Thatch: Hi Jeff, who gets saves for the cubs if Palencia hits the IL? Thanks!

Jeff Zimmerman: I’m guessing Keller … one sec …

Jeff Zimmerman: Looks like the team has used Keller and Thielbar in highest leverage situation (gLI): https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders/major-league?pos=all&lg=all&season=2…

Jeff Zimmerman: Welcome.

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

Jeff Zimmerman:

Zoilo Versailles: Weekly league, h2h points playoffs- Agustin Ramirez (@Wash/Phil) 6 games or Sheets (BAL/@COL) Sheets could lose some of his usage with Merrill’s return imminent. And Agustin was raking this weekend and his swing seems back after a rocky patch?  And he stole his 11th bag while he was at it?

Jeff Zimmerman: Ramirez. The Merrill news is the key factor

bdubs: Looking for steals wherever I can find them. Who to add: TFreeman or Stott? 
Who to drop: Carpenter or Grisham?

Paul Sporer: Hey y’all, welcome to the chat!!

No! Ugh…: Are you scared of the recent Noah Cameron fall-off or just a blip?

Paul Sporer: It’s only 1 bad start. He gets more leeway than that. But 2-3 in a row would be cause for concern w/a rookie

Paul Sporer: BRB, gotta let the dogs out early in the chat, sorry about that… but we’ll good to go after that

80-grade hair: Is the Password just a small side platoon bat with a 80-grade nickname and lustrous hair? Will he be worth keeping for $10 in AL Only?

Paul Sporer: Yes I think so and thus hard to keep at 10…. ok now taking the pups

Jeff Zimmerman: Welcome, here the winning bids in the two 15-team redraft ToutWars leagues.

Jeff Zimmerman:

Brent: Do you expect any production of out Hoskins ROS?

Jeff Zimmerman: No

Rand: Thoughts on Luis Matos who has hit very well in the few games since recall. Noticed he has a very low K rate and very low BABIP. Anything here?

Jeff Zimmerman: Low BABIP, it’s at .500
