Transcript is available below!

1:05

Paul Sporer: Good afternoon, everyone! Thanks for coming out, let’s talk some baseball!!

1:07

ScottTINSTAAPP: Trying to join your Main Event league winners club this year and we’re almost there! Would not have believed that we’d be top 15 in the overall while starting Albert Pujols but here we are! Albert has been legit awesome, it’s sweet

1:08

Paul Sporer: Let’s goooo!!! My September sweat was the single greatest and most stressful month of fantasy baseball I ever played! I’m in the hunt for a cash this year, but 1st is a looongshot with Scott “Stryker” Jenstad running our league. Bring it home, Scott!

1:08

T: If ROTY was an ML-wide award, who do you think would win?

1:09

Paul Sporer: Not a definitive winner right. J-Rod, Adley, and the 2 Braves – Strider/Harris all would have amazing cases. I’d vote J-Rod personally

1:09

Tim: I am not great at managing Ohtani on my cbs team. Hard to read the app and figure out where to play him (DH/SP). What level of player would you expect in a trade for Ohtani in a weekly league? (Limit of 5 keepers.)

Paul Sporer: Hello and welcome everyone! This will now be an hourlong breakdown of Oneil Cruz’s 122.4 mph batted ball! joy

1:03

Ag: What’s the deal with Alejandro Kirk lately? Avg still been there but production way down since June. Pull % down, maybe the culprit?

1:04

Paul Sporer: Could definitely see it being the pull rate. Feels mostly like standard regression as he was out of his gourd in May/June. Not too worried!

1:04

7:34
Jeff Zimmerman: It comes down to league depth. Even in my 12’s the waiver wire options are sad so I’m holding. Otherwise, move on.

7:35
AO: Better streaming option: German vs OAK, Lynch vs CWS, or Tommy Henry vs CWS?

7:35

Transcript is live!

1:01

Paul Sporer: Hello everyone! Are we recovering from the frenzy?

1:01

Walker Buehler: Level of concern about my injury for next season?

1:01

Paul Sporer: Too early to say.

1:01

Chuck: Is it time to give up on Castellanos?

1:03

Paul Sporer: Definitely depends who you’re picking up for him, but my goodness has he been bad! Given the substantial fall off and just utter lack of power, it’s hard not to think he’s playing through something, right? His skills didn’t just melt, right?! At any rate, I understand moving on in shallower formats

1:03

Chuck: Do you believe in Detmers’ recent surge? Apparently he tweaked his slider during his recent sojourn in Salt Lake.
