Jeff Zimmerman: I’ll be watching the AZ-SD game

Jeff Zimmerman: Summary of the eight different scenarios.

Jeff Zimmerman: https://x.com/CJNitkowski/status/1840252324071018980?t=-A30jZ0RgJFd8jL…

Clark Olson: Go SD. End the season today.

Jeff Zimmerman: I would have preferred a Sale start this week, but I understand.

Jeff Zimmerman: Pfaadt has been horrible against lefties, five in the lineup today.

Paul Sporer: Hello everyone!!!! I can’t believe we only have 5 days left of regular season action!!

Ted: Weekly league. Rosters locked. Tied for first. Want to puke every night. Baseball!

Paul Sporer: It’s the best-worst feeling ever!

Dave: <to the tune of the William Tell Overture> Gritty tigs gritty tigs gritty tigs tigs tigs/Gritty tigs gritty tigs gritty tigs tigs tigs/Gritty tigs gritty tigs gritty tigs tigs tiiiiiggggs/Wenceel Perez

Paul Sporer: god i love Wenceel!

Tim: Is it me, or is the Jobe/Miller thing pretty odd? Why wait until the 11th hour to call the kid up while dumping the year-long vet?

Jeff Zimmerman: Welcome.

Jeff Zimmerman: First off, there will be a FanGraphs chat next weekend. If the playoffs are on the line, the main side will likely be hosting the chat. If not, I will.

Jeff Zimmerman: Here are the winning bids in the three ToutWars 15-team leagues. Ignore the prices managers were spending all they had left.

Jeff Zimmerman:

HappyFunBall: That’s for being here this season. Good times!

JG: Need homers, drop XEdwards for : BRodgers(Coors) , Westburg or Albies ? Roto

Paul Sporer: Good afternoon, everyone, thanks for coming out!

PG: Are we trusting the next two Rangers SPs against the Jays?  Bradford and then Kumar Rocker?

Paul Sporer: Definitely depends on league size. The Jays are looking more like the offense we assumed they’d be coming into the season, so I’m being cautious going against them

Dinger Hunter: H2H playoffs need to add a hitter. Pick one for the rest of this week and glory: 1. Tyler Fitzgerald 2. Otto Lopez 3. M. Rojas 4. Pavin 5. Meadows

Paul Sporer: Fitz/Meadows are my 2 faves and I lean Meadows. Only 2 lefties on the docket for them the rest of the way and a final weekend series v. CHW

JT: need to set up 1 last start this week and hopefully celebrate a championship, 10tm, h2h, redraft, which of these 3 do i take; Arrighetti @ LAA, B. Lively @ STL, M. Boyd @ STL or Y. Darvish CWS ?

Paul Sporer: Hello everyone!! Thanks for coming out

Tigers, oh my!: How would you value the following Detroit players in a deep al-only keeper? (5×5 roto, Sv+holds) Reese Olson, Wenceel Perez, JH Malloy, Jason Foley, Ty Madden?

Paul Sporer: Didn’t even plan this, very first question is about my Tigers!!

Paul Sporer: Even w/the health, Olson is my #1. From there it’s probably Perez or JHM. I’m not sure Foley is a long-term closer option so he’s last on the list

Guest: It’s crunch time baby!  Pick best 3 from these SP matchups: Ragans @ NYY, Webb vs SDP, Ober vs CIN, Peralta @ ARI or C. Sanchez vs NYM.  Thanks!

Paul Sporer: I know NYY/SDP are tough, but I gotta run Ragans and Webb. I just have too much trust in them to sit ’em and it’d just kill me if they cooked on my bench. 3rd is Ober for me. He’s been wonderful outside of 2 starts v. KCR and 1 other dud (was it ATL? I can’t remember off the dome) and even avenged his KC ugliness w/a gem v. them last time out! Good group to pick from as Peralta and Sanchez are plenty competent, too, but they catch the sits here

Jeff Zimmerman: Welcome.

Jeff Zimmerman: Here are the winning bids in the three 15-team Tout Wars leagues. One note. The bids are higher than expected because several teams got extra FAAB on the first of the month do to some league rules.

Jeff Zimmerman:

Yankee E: After Arrighetti’s performance this week, go with him, Schwellenbach, or an SP/RP reliever (Puk) for fifth SP spot in H2H playoffs?

Jeff Zimmerman: I’d lean Schwellenbach

Yankee E: Trusting Chad Green at this point.  Likely have to shift to a holds reliever in an H2H league where both are separate categories.

Paul Sporer: Hello everyone, thanks for coming out!

Chad: Tell me about Lawrence Butler. Top ___ hitter next year?

Paul Sporer: 150? I’m excited, but don’t wanna get drunk on hype

Greg: Keep one for next year – Bichette, Sandy Alcantara, Springs, Woo, Gausman.

Paul Sporer: I’m inclined to run with Woo there. Sandy is out bc he’s returning from TJ, even if we agree Bichette is better than his 2024 washout, I’m still not sure he ever nabs 20+ SBs again, and then w/Woo-Springs-Gausman, i just prefer Woo the most there even w/some of the health issues he has experienced so far

Kate: Do we know why Masyn Winn has kind of stopped running midseason?  Is this injury related?
